Multi-tasking

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

The skincare multitasker

One of the most well-researched skincare ingredients available. Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, reduces pore appearance, controls excess sebum, fades post-acne marks, and evens out pigmentation. Works synergistically with most other actives.

The Problem

Oily skin, enlarged pores, post-acne marks, and uneven texture affect a large majority of people with Indian skin. Most single-ingredient serums treat only one concern at a time.

The Solution

Niacinamide at 10% concentration targets multiple concerns simultaneously — it regulates sebum, shrinks pore appearance, fades post-acne hyperpigmentation, and strengthens the skin barrier. Paired with zinc PCA, the effect on oil control and breakout prevention is significantly amplified.

Key Benefits

Minimises pores
Controls oiliness
Fades dark spots
Strengthens skin barrier
Reduces redness

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 10% niacinamide do for oily skin?+
At 10% concentration, niacinamide regulates sebaceous gland activity, visibly reducing excess oil and shine throughout the day. It also minimises the appearance of pores and prevents the clogging that leads to breakouts.
Can niacinamide fade acne marks and dark spots?+
Yes. Niacinamide blocks the transfer of melanin to skin cells, which gradually lightens post-acne marks (PIH), dark spots, and uneven patches. Results are typically visible in 4–8 weeks with daily use.
Is niacinamide safe for sensitive skin?+
Niacinamide is one of the gentlest actives in skincare. Even at 10%, it is non-irritating and suitable for sensitive, acne-prone, and combination skin types.
Can I use niacinamide with other actives like vitamin C or retinol?+
Yes. Niacinamide is compatible with most actives including vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, AHAs, BHAs, and retinol. It actually helps reduce irritation caused by stronger actives.

Safety note: Suitable for all skin types. Non-irritating even at 10% concentration.
