Niacinamide is one such ingredient that has been discussed whenever we talk about acne or acne marks reduction. Niacinamide is also known as “nicotinamide,” and is a very powerful element.

What is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3. It can help build proteins in the skin and lock in moisture to prevent environmental damage. Niacinamide is one of the best-studied cosmeceuticals for anti-ageing.  

It has a multitude of effects to help smoothen the skin texture. Niacinamide is particularly important to our body, as we cannot produce the vitamin on our own. The vitamin itself is water-soluble, which means that we must either eat it or apply it topically to reap its benefits.

Benefits Of Niacinamide

• Treats acne. Niacinamide may be helpful for severe acne, especially inflammatory forms like papules and pustules. Over time, you may see fewer lesions and improved skin texture.
• Minimizes redness and blotchiness. Niacinamide reduces inflammation, which may help ease redness from eczema, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
• Minimizes pore appearance. Keeping skin smooth and moisturized may have a secondary benefit — a natural reduction in pore size over time.
• Regulates oil. The benefits of moisture retention aren’t just for those with dry skin types. Niacinimide can also help regulate the amount of oil the sebaceous glands produce and prevent your glands from going into overdrive.
• Protects against sun damage. Niacinamide can concurrently rebuild healthy skin cells while also protecting them from damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
• Treats hyperpigmentation. Some research has found 5% or More niacinamide concentrations can help lighten dark spots. Benefits were seen after four weeks, but not beyond two months. This benefit may be due to increased collagen production.
• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. Research has also found that the same concentration helped reducing some signs of sun damage that come with ageing. This includes fine lines and wrinkles.
