Niacinamide

A multi-tasking vitamin B3 that helps visibly brighten, support the skin barrier, and improve the look of uneven tone.

What it does

Helps support the skin's moisture barrier, visibly reduce the look of pores and redness, and promote a more even, balanced complexion. Works well with most other actives.

Glow notes

Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of Vitamin B3. It functions across multiple pathways: supporting the skin barrier by increasing ceramide production, helping reduce the visible appearance of discoloration and uneven tone, and helping minimize the look of enlarged pores. It's generally considered well-tolerated for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
