Niacinamide (also known as nicotinamide) is important for several body functions, but when it comes to your skin, it’s an important antioxidant that aids in cell repair. Niacinamide is a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+NADH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). These co-enzymes are essential in the creation and regeneration of healthy cells—and your body can’t make them without niacinamide. Scientists theorize that by giving your skin niacinamide, your body will be able to in turn make more NAD+, thereby in turn helping to lead to healthier- and younger-looking skin.
One of the hottest ingredients in anti-aging skincare, niacinamide might seem of-the-moment, but in fact, it’s been around in one form or another since the beginning of human life. A form of vitamin B3, niacinamide (also known as nicotinamide) is an essential nutrient found in foods like meat, fish, nuts, poultry, and legumes. You can also find niacinamide as a dietary supplement, and in topical products to be absorbed through the skin.
Niacinamide has been shown to have a number of different benefits for the skin. Niacinamide is most often associated with:
Yes. Many dermatologists recommend using niacinamide alongside other active ingredients, including retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and others. Because niacinamide is generally not irritating to skin (when formulated correctly at lower concentrations), it works well with others.
Apply products formulated with niacinamide directly on skin, gently using your fingertips, once or twice a day as tolerated. When layering skincare, the general rule of thumb is to go from the lightest to heaviest weight formulation. Always make sunscreen the last step in your morning routine.
Science shows that niacinamide is generally well tolerated, even when ingested in relatively high doses. However, everyone’s skin is different, and some people do experience irritation if they have a sensitivity or allergy, so it’s best to do a spot test on the neck right under the ear.
There’s no research linking niacinamide with issues during pregnancy, however, it’s always important to check with your healthcare provider before introducing any new skincare product while pregnant or breastfeeding.
