Niacinamide: The Underrated Skincare Workhorse
By Dr. Lazuk, Co-Founder and CEO of Lazuk Cosmetics® | Esthetics® | Alpharetta, GA
I want to give a proper introduction to one of the most versatile ingredients in evidence-based skincare.
Niacinamide. Vitamin B3.
It brightens. It reduces the appearance of pores. It regulates sebum production. It strengthens the skin barrier. It calms inflammation. It reduces hyperpigmentation.
All in one ingredient. At concentrations between 4 and 10 percent.
And it's well-tolerated by almost everyone.
No purging phase. No sun sensitivity. Compatible with most other ingredients, including retinoids, peptides, and acids.
If you could only add one new ingredient to your routine… and your skin is dealing with oiliness, uneven tone, congestion, or sensitivity…
Niacinamide should be near the top of your list.
It's not glamorous. It doesn't have a dramatic story.
But it works. Consistently. Across skin types.
May your skin glow as brightly as your heart.
