What are the benefits of niacinamide for the skin?

Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, has become an essential ingredient in facial skincare products. Renowned for its anti-blemish, soothing, and anti-aging properties, it is suitable for almost all skin types: oily, sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin. But what are the real benefits of niacinamide for the skin? Why is it so highly recommended by dermatologists?

One of the main benefits of niacinamide is its ability to regulate sebum production.

It allows you to:

• Reduce shine on oily skin
• Limit the appearance of pimples and blackheads

It helps to:

• Reduce irritation in sensitive skin
• Soothe inflammation associated withacne or rosacea

It is particularly interesting in minimalist routines, as it combines effectiveness and high skin tolerance.

Another major benefit: niacinamide stimulates the production of ceramides, which are essential for the skin barrier.

Result:

• Better hydrated skin
• Less water loss
• Better protection against external aggressions (pollution, cold, UV rays)

A strengthened skin barrier means more resilient and balanced skin.

Niacinamide also acts on pigmentation spots and uneven skin tone.
