Smoothing

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.

The cherry on top? Niacinamide can also help build keratin, a protein that keeps skin firm.

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.

I really wanted to love this product but it stings my eyes! The coverage is very full, I wish this was more of a light tint than a full-on face of makeup looking foundation. I feel like my skin can’t breathe when wearing it.

It finished beautifully on the skin and has good staying power all day, but unfortunately the niacinamide is crazy! My skin was itchy after I washed it off and I had red welts all over my face.
