Keep reading to learn what niacinamide is, what it does for skin, and the best products that pack this all-star active.<\/em>\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to wellness, there&#8217;s no one-size-fits-all solution\u2014and typically, the same goes for any skincare routine.\r\n\r\n<em>However<\/em>, what if I told you that a certain topical ingredient exists that yields benefits for nearly every major skin concern? Spoiler alert\u2014those concerns include but aren&#8217;t limited to:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>breakouts<\/li>\r\n \t<li>hyperpigmentation<\/li>\r\n \t<li>excess oil<\/li>\r\n \t<li>dryness<\/li>\r\n \t<li>uneven tone + texture<\/li>\r\n \t<li>wrinkles<\/li>\r\n \t<li>sensitivity<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIs it magic&#8230; or is it niacinamide? For answers, I enlisted the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crobinsonmd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caroline Robinson, MD, FAAD<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tonedermatology.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tone Dermatology<\/a> in Chicago.\r\n<h2>What is niacinamide?<\/h2>\r\n&#8220;Niacinamide is the active form of vitamin B3 (niacin),&#8221; Dr. Robinson begins, &#8220;that yields skin benefits such as improved skin hydration, firmness, and evening of skin tone.&#8221;\r\n\r\nIt&#8217;s water-soluble, which means you&#8217;ll find niacinamide in skincare products that are based in water (rather than oil). Further, niacinamide is stable and non-irritating, and has a neutral pH.\r\n\r\nNiacin exists in <a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/Niacin-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">certain foods<\/a>\u2014namely animal sources, whole wheats, rice, avocado, and peanuts. However, niacinamide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2921764\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">significantly penetrates the skin<\/a> via topical application, making it one of the most effective and popular skincare actives today.\r\n<h2>The Rise of Niacinamide in Skincare<\/h2>\r\nAccording to consumer-trend forecaster Spate, Google searches for niacinamide in skincare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spate.nyc\/ingredient-trends-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grew 399 percent<\/a> in 2020, with sustained growth year over year.\r\n\r\nSo what&#8217;s the secret to its success?\r\n\r\n&#8220;I think the popularity with niacinamide steps from its ability to help with many different skin concerns, without the downtime associated with other active ingredients,&#8221; Dr. Robinson shares. She then cites a few other popular skincare actives\u2014including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-use-retinol\/\">retinol<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/physical-vs-chemical-exfoliation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chemical exfoliators<\/a>\u2014that may cause irritation.\r\n\r\nAlso, with many people communicating more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/does-blue-light-damage-your-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">through screens<\/a> for work and leisure, there&#8217;s a growing emphasis on maintaining skin health, rather than covering your complexion with makeup.\r\n\r\nBut most importantly, it boasts serious benefits\u2014and lots of them, at that!\r\n\r\n<img data-dominant-color=\"998d8c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #998d8c;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23873 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/What-does-niacinamide-do-Control-Oil-Production-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Woman applying niacinamide moisturizer to control oil production\" width=\"770\" height=\"483\" \/>\r\n<h2>10 Niacinamide Skin Benefits<\/h2>\r\nNow, for the main attraction: Here are the many benefits of niacinamide for skin.\r\n\r\nNote: This ultimate guide to niacinamide and its benefits is lengthy, but it can help you reach your best complexion yet.\r\n<h3>1. Niacinamide Controls Oil Production<\/h3>\r\nFirst things first, one of niacinamide&#8217;s greatest strengths is its ability to regulate oil (sebum) production.\r\n\r\nIn a 2006 study, Japanese participants had <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16766489\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">significantly lower sebum excretion rates<\/a> from using a two-percent niacinamide moisturizer within as little as two to four weeks. In the same study, Caucasian participants experienced significantly reduced casual sebum levels within six weeks.\r\n\r\nAs this study also notes, many skincare products exist to <em>absorb<\/em> oil, rather than reduce its production to begin with. For people with oily skin, niacinamide doesn&#8217;t only help to reduce shine from excess sebum, but also resulting congestion.\r\n\r\nWhich leads us to the next niacinamide benefit&#8230;\r\n<h3>2. Niacainamide Clears Breakouts<\/h3>\r\nSince excess oil is a major cause of breakouts, it&#8217;s only natural that niacinamide helps with acne\u2014and Dr. Robinson confirms that there&#8217;s research to back up this benefit.\r\n\r\nA 2008 study found that participants who used a four-percent niacinamide gel over eight weeks experienced a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/228503323_An_Investigation_of_Efficacy_of_Topical_Niacinamide_for_the_Treatment_of_Mild_and_Moderate_Acne_Vulgaris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statistically significant reduction<\/a> in the number of pustules, comedones, and papules. (Note: These types of breakouts are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanskin.org\/resource\/acne.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inflammatory lesions<\/a>, and shouldn&#8217;t be confused with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/cystic-acne\/\">cystic acne<\/a>.)\r\n\r\nBased on these findings, researchers concluded that niacinamide is both safe and effective to alleviate mild to moderate breakouts.\r\n<h3>3. Niacinamide Brightens Skin<\/h3>\r\nIf <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/best-vitamins-for-glowing-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">glowing skin<\/a> is your goal, you&#8217;ll want to add this all-star active to your skincare routine, stat.\r\n\r\nWhile vitamin C is often touted as the gold standard to brighten your complexion, Dr. Robinson says niacinamide is another worthy contender to get glowing. She notes that each works in different ways to yield the same result.\r\n\r\n&#8220;Vitamin C works to block excess production of pigment, while niacinamide works to block the transfer of this pigment from melanin-producing cells to our skin cells,&#8221; she clarifies.\r\n\r\nSo, should you opt for one, the other, or perhaps even both?\r\n\r\n&#8220;Both ingredients are important in correcting uneven skin and can work [well] together,&#8221; Dr. Robinson shares.\r\n\r\n<img data-dominant-color=\"bfb194\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #bfb194;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23875 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Does-niacinamide-help-with-acne-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Couple doing their morning skincare routine in the bathroom, which includes the best niacinamide products for skin\" width=\"770\" height=\"501\" \/>\r\n<h3>4. Niacinamide Fades Hyperpigmentation<\/h3>\r\nPiggybacking off of the brightening powers shared above, niacinamide works wonderfully to help fade hyperpigmentation, including that from melasma and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-get-rid-of-acne-scars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">acne scars<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIn a 2002 study, participants who used a niacinamide moisturizer with two- to five-percent concentrations over four weeks benefited from <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12100180\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">significant lightening of hyperpigmentation<\/a>.\r\n\r\nResearchers concluded that this star ingredient works &#8220;by inhibiting melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes,&#8221; resulting in successful fading of dark spots.\r\n<h3>5. Niacinamide Improves Signs of Aging<\/h3>\r\nThen, if signs of aging are your main point of concern, niacinamide can provide the rejuvenating boost your skin craves.\r\n\r\n&#8220;It helps to inhibit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-need-protein\/\">protein<\/a> glycation of collagen, a normal process in the body that occurs with age that creates more rigid collagen fibers,&#8221; Dr. Robinson explains. &#8220;By preventing this, niacinamide can help to improve fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and bounce.&#8221;\r\n\r\nFurther, a 2005 study supports its pro-aging benefits. Caucasian women over 50 with existing signs of photoaging (fine lines and wrinkles included) experienced a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16029679\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">significant improvement<\/a> in these markers of skin vitality within 12 weeks of using a five-percent niacinamide treatment.\r\n<h3>6. Niacinamide Smooths Texture + Evens Tone<\/h3>\r\nStruggle with bumpiness and uneven skin tone? You guessed it: Niacinamide can help.\r\n\r\nIn a 2010 study, Indian women aged 30 to 60 saw <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20061726\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">improved skin texture<\/a> and a more even skin tone in as little as six weeks by applying niacinamide lotion. (They also benefited from reduced hyperpigmentation, which is a major concern particularly for people with darker skin tones.)\r\n<h3>7. Niacinamide Reduces the Appearance of Pores<\/h3>\r\nCan you actually shrink the size of your pores, or merely reduce their appearance? Depending on who you ask, this topic is up for debate.\r\n\r\nHowever, in a 2015 Dermatology Times article, a board-certified dermatologist wrote\u2014point blank\u2014that niacinamide &#8220;clinically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dermatologytimes.com\/view\/anti-aging-effects-niacinamide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reduces pore size<\/a>.&#8221;\r\n\r\nAt any rate, excess sebum is <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/17034515\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">associated with enlarged pore size<\/a>. And, as we learned with the first benefit on our list, niacinamide helps control sebum production. So, coming full circle, niacinamide at the very least positively impacts the appearance of pore size.\r\n\r\nFor this reason, it&#8217;s an important ingredient for anyone on a quest to achieve seemingly poreless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/glass-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">glass skin<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<img data-dominant-color=\"cab39a\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #cab39a;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23877 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Niacinamide-in-skincare-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Woman applying niacinamide toner for hydrated, glowing skin\" width=\"770\" height=\"493\" \/>\r\n<h3>8. Niacinamide Combats Dryness<\/h3>\r\nAt this point, you may be scratching your head. After all, if niacinamide controls oil production, how can it also benefit dry skin?\r\n\r\n&#8220;Niacinamide can help to increase our natural production of a category of lipids called ceramides, [or] natural moisturizers of the skin,&#8221; Dr. Robinson explains.\r\n\r\nSince ceramides are revered as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/best-ingredients-for-dry-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best ingredients for dry skin<\/a>, this mechanism just goes to show how niacinamide can benefit pretty much every skin type.\r\n<h3>9. Niacinamide Fortifies the Skin Barrier<\/h3>\r\nNext, niacinamide can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/skin-barrier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strengthen your skin barrier<\/a>, especially if you struggle with dryness, sensitivity, and other inflammatory skin conditions.\r\n\r\nA 2005 study investigated the effects of niacinamide moisturizer on participants with such conditions. Following twice-daily application over four weeks, the dermatologist overseeing the study <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16209160\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">confirmed improvements<\/a> in both stratum corneum barrier function and skin hydration.\r\n\r\nFurther, Dr. Robinson notes that while other forms of vitamin B3 may trigger irritation, &#8220;niacinamide doesn&#8217;t have that same associated risk, making it safe for use by sensitive skin types.&#8221;\r\n<h3>10. Niacinamide Protects Against UV Damage<\/h3>\r\nLastly, niacinamide can round out your sun-safe skincare routine.\r\n\r\nA 2012 study asserts that this active ingredient may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3577345\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">help prevent skin damage from UV light<\/a> by suppressing &#8220;UV-induced cell death and cell apoptosis.&#8221;\r\n\r\nAll the while, it positively influences DNA repair\u2014not to mention making strides with all of the other niacinamide benefits for skin outlined above.\r\n<h2>What works best with niacinamide?<\/h2>\r\nAccording to Dr. Robinson, &#8220;It&#8217;s generally safe to use other active skincare ingredients at the same time [as niacinamide].&#8221; In fact, she continues, &#8220;Using a product that combines multiple actives is the best way to incorporate niacinamide into your skincare routine&#8221; for the best results.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">She goes on to say some of the best pairings (depending on your skin concerns) include:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>AHAs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>BHAs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>retinol<\/li>\r\n \t<li>vitamin C<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThat said, she warns against pairing niacinamide with other forms of vitamin B3, such as nicotinic acid, which &#8220;can cause redness and irritation, and aren&#8217;t compatible with other skin actives.&#8221;\r\n<h2>The Best Niacinamide Products<\/h2>\r\nReady to get your niacinamide game on?
