Niacinamide is a water-soluble type of Vitamin B3. Niacinamide helps build keratin, a crucial protein in maintaining skin health by promoting stronger, smoother, and brighter skin. When applied topically, niacinamide may improve hydration of the skin by preventing moisture evaporation. It helps lock in moisture and keep pollution irritants out. Research suggests that niacinamide may improve skin barrier function, making niacinamide suitable in the treatment of conditions like rosacea and acne.
