Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Niacinamide is one of the most reliable and beloved ingredients in our active apothecary. It's a water-soluble vitamin that works with the natural substances in your skin to address a huge range of concerns. It’s not a flashy, overnight miracle; it’s a steady, consistent worker that improves overall skin health.

One of its most celebrated benefits is its ability to visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores and refine skin texture. It also helps to brighten and even out a dull, blotchy complexion. It does this while simultaneously working to strengthen the skin's own barrier, the very foundation of healthy skin.

By strengthening the barrier, Niacinamide helps the skin to produce more of its own ceramides, which are lipids that help retain moisture. This leads to more hydrated, resilient skin that is less susceptible to irritation. It's an ingredient that doesn't just treat symptoms; it makes the skin fundamentally healthier.

Unlike many powerful actives, Niacinamide is exceptionally stable and well-tolerated by almost all skin types. Its reliability and broad range of proven benefits make it a true cornerstone of any intelligent skincare routine. It's a smart, effective vitamin that we love to formulate with.
