VITAMIN B3 is also known as NIACINAMIDE and is found naturally in many foods. Used topically, it is safe and has almost no reported side effects. Topical Niacinamide has been shown to improve the skin barrier function so it decreases irritation and dryness. It also decreases the appearance of photo aging such as improving texture, hyperpigmentation, and redness. In addition it can decrease sebum (or oil) production in the skin. It also has a calming effect on acne, and it is added to many creams so that they won’t aggravate acne or rosacea.
