What it does: Smoothing
Community Rating: Loved

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.

UPDATED REVIEW: unfortunately, this eventually started to break me out. I suspect butylene glycol and squalane being high in concentration is what gave me trouble. I have extremely sensitive and acne prone skin though, so I still stand by Purito as a brand and this particular product, it’s just not for me… *cries* I love how it made my skin glow aside from the breakouts. Just another note- it’s best to apply this to damp skin as it can feel sticky otherwise.

I like this moisturiser as it has minimal ingredients which is good for my acne prone, sensitive skin. It's better for me to use it at night as a soothing overnight cream as it can make my already oily skin look oilier. The only thing is I don't find it as hydrating as I'd like it to be but I guess that's the sacrifice I have to make for a moisturiser for it to have minimal ingredients! It's more hydrating when I use the Cosrx snail mucin essence before. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect moisturiser.
