Intro: What Is Niacinamide?
If you’ve ever searched for a solution to acne, enlarged pores, or dull skin — niacinamide likely came up. This form of Vitamin B3 is one of skincare’s most proven multitaskers. At Glayvia, we use niacinamide in several formulas to help all skin types restore balance and clarity — without irritation.
What Does Niacinamide Do for the Skin?
1. Balances Oil Production (Great for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin)
Niacinamide helps regulate sebum levels, making it ideal for oily or acne-prone skin types. It keeps shine in check while supporting a clear complexion.
2. Minimises Pores Over Time
By improving skin elasticity and reducing oil buildup, niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores with consistent use.
3. Improves Skin Barrier Function
It strengthens the skin’s natural moisture barrier, reducing water loss and shielding the skin from pollutants and irritants.
4. Fades Redness and Post-Acne Marks
Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, niacinamide calms irritated skin and helps even out tone, especially after breakouts or inflammation.
5. Supports Hydration & Smooth Texture
When paired with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, it boosts hydration without feeling greasy — ideal for dry or combination skin.
Who Should Use Niacinamide?
Everyone. Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, or combination, niacinamide adapts. It’s especially helpful if you're:
-
Dealing with hormonal breakouts
-
Looking to smooth uneven texture
-
Managing redness or sensitivity
-
Building a barrier-safe routine
