Niacinamide: The Complete Guide to This Miracle Ingredient

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is one of the most versatile active ingredients in K-Beauty. It works for all skin types and can be combined with almost any other ingredient.

Benefits of Niacinamide

  • Sebum regulation — reduces sebum production by 20 to 40%
  • Minimized pores — visibly improves skin texture
  • Radiance — inhibits melanin transfer for a more even skin tone
  • Skin barrier — strengthens the skin's natural barrier
  • Anti-aging — stimulates collagen production

What Concentration to Choose?

2-5% for sensitive skin and beginners. 10% for intensive treatment of dark spots and pores. Above 10%, there's a risk of irritation without additional benefit.

How to Add It to Your Routine

Niacinamide can be used morning and evening, after toner and before moisturizer. It pairs well with hyaluronic acid, centella, and zinc. Avoid applying it at the same time as pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) — alternate morning/evening.
