The Lowdown on Niacinamide

Nicotinamide, or better known as niacinamide (C6H6N20) has been trending lately. It is a form of vitamin B3 and an essential nutrient which reduces inflammation, regulates oil and protects your skin from environmental damage.

Besties: Salicylic acid and Hyaluronic acid

Enemies: Glycolic acid and Vitamin C

Star Sign Compatibility: Anyone who wants their skin to be as bright and glowy as a scorpio should consider incorporating niacinamide into their skincare regime.

How to Use: You can use niacinamide in both the morning and night. Most niacinamide serums are water-based and so it is best to apply them after cleansing and toning but before any oil-based serums or moisturizers. You can cover your entire face with niacinamide but it works extremely well when concentrated on oily areas of the face.
