Niacinamide Skincare

Niacinamide has become a popular ingredient in modern skincare, appearing in everything from facial serums and moisturisers to cleansers, toners, masks and SPF products.

Also known as nicotinamide, niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3. In skincare, it's a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a routine in several different ways, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types.

At Evergreen, you'll find niacinamide skincare from trusted beauty brands, with different formulas and formats to suit your routine.

What Is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that's widely used as an ingredient in topical skincare. You may see both niacinamide and nicotinamide used to describe this form of vitamin B3, although niacinamide is the name you're most likely to encounter on skincare products.

Don't confuse it with niacin or nicotinic acid. Although they're all associated with vitamin B3, they aren't interchangeable ingredients in skincare.

What Does Niacinamide Do for Skin?

Niacinamide is a versatile skincare ingredient that's often included in products designed to support the skin barrier, improve the appearance of skin texture and help skin feel balanced and hydrated.

You'll find it in products developed for many different skin types, including oily, combination, dry and blemish-prone skin.

As with any skincare ingredient, the overall formulation matters. Rather than choosing a product simply because it contains niacinamide, consider your skin type, the other ingredients in the formula and where the product fits into your existing routine.

Choosing Niacinamide Skincare

Niacinamide appears in many different types of skincare, so you don't necessarily need a dedicated serum to introduce it into your routine.

Niacinamide Serums

A niacinamide serum is one of the most popular ways to use the ingredient. Serums are typically applied after cleansing and before moisturiser, although you should always follow the instructions for your particular product.

Niacinamide Cleansers

A cleanser with niacinamide can be an easy way to include the ingredient at the first stage of your skincare routine.

As cleansers are rinsed away, they're quite different from leave-on products such as serums and moisturisers, so choose primarily according to how well the cleanser suits your skin.

Niacinamide Toners

Niacinamide toners are usually used after cleansing and before serums or moisturisers. Look at the complete formulation when choosing a toner, particularly if it also contains exfoliating or hydrating ingredients.

Niacinamide Face Masks

Face masks containing niacinamide can provide an occasional addition to your usual routine. Options include sheet masks as well as more traditional face-mask formulas.

Niacinamide SPF

Niacinamide is also found in some facial sunscreens and daily SPF products, combining the ingredient with everyday sun protection.

Whatever additional skincare ingredients an SPF contains, make sure you're using enough product to achieve the level of sun protection stated on the label.

Can You Use Niacinamide Every Day?

Many niacinamide skincare products are designed for everyday use, but how often you use a particular product should depend on its complete formulation and the manufacturer's directions.

If you're introducing a new product to your routine, particularly if you have sensitive skin, introduce it gradually and pay attention to how your skin responds.

Can You Use Niacinamide With Other Skincare Ingredients?

Niacinamide is commonly formulated alongside other popular skincare ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and a variety of botanical and moisturising ingredients.

Rather than worrying about individual ingredients in isolation, check the directions for the products you're combining. This is particularly important if your routine contains stronger exfoliating acids, retinoids or several active skincare products.
