How it works

Niacinamide supports the production of ceramides, which are important for the skin barrier. It also helps control excess oil and soothe the skin.

Benefits for the skin

  • Helps control excess oil and reduce shine.
  • Supports the skin barrier and helps reduce moisture loss.
  • Helps soothe skin and reduce redness and mild irritation.
  • Helps improve skin texture and uneven skin tone over time.

Who it suits
