Niacinamide has emerged as an all-star ingredient due to its many benefits.

It is known to treat acne by reducing inflammation. It also helps fade dark-spots and strengthen the skin by promoting the growth of the ceramide barrier.

Other benefits include smoothing wrinkles and minimizing redness.

When incorporating niacinamide into your routine, look out for concentration amounts. Typically, 5% niacinamide provides benefits such as fading dark spots. However, if you have sensitive skin, it is better to begin with a smaller concentration.

Niacinamide can be mixed with other ingredients to boost benefits. For instance, it has shown to be effective when used with copper, folic acid, and zinc to treat acne.

Immediate glow up!
Best brightening serum I've used! I noticed a difference within a week. My skin loves vitamin C and peptides, so this is an amazing serum in the morning under moisturiser and/or SPF. I took to applying it at night, too, especially around my eyes, under my night cream, and it really helped my puffiness and circles. Love it!
