Niacinamide

Niacinamide Skincare Products from Paula’s Choice

Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, is a versatile skincare ingredient that improves skin texture, minimises pores, and brightens skin tone. It is commonly used in skincare products to support the skin barrier, improve skin texture, and balance natural oil levels. Paula's Choice niacinamide products are known for their science-backed, fragrance-free, and non-irritating formulations. Use our niacinamide serum and moisturizers on their own, or mix them with your favourite skincare products for enhanced benefits and a healthier complexion.

Importance & Benefits of Integrating Niacinamide into Your Skincare Routine

Strengthens the Skin Barrier

Niacinamide helps fortify your skin's natural barrier, enhancing its ability to retain moisture and protect against environmental damage. This leads to more resilient and healthier-looking skin.

Reduces Redness and Inflammation

This powerful ingredient is especially beneficial for those prone to sensitivity. It calms irritated skin, visibly reducing redness and blotchiness for a more even complexion. 

Minimises the Appearance of Pores

Refine the look of enlarged pores. Niacinamide helps to tighten and refine the appearance of enlarged pores by supporting healthy cell function and normalising pore activity.

Regulates Oil Production

Balancing sebum production, niacinamide is an excellent choice for managing oily or combination skin, helping to control shine and maintain a more balanced complexion throughout the day.

Improves Uneven Skin Tone and Reduces Hyperpigmentation

Niacinamide works to visibly brighten dullness and fade dark spots, sunspots, and post-acne marks, resulting in a more radiant and unified skin tone. Achieve a brighter complexion with dedicated niacinamide skincare products.

Provides Antioxidant Protection

As a potent antioxidant, niacinamide helps prevent premature aging and protects the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental stressors, such as pollution and UV radiation.

Supports Collagen Production

It also stimulates the production of collagen, a vital protein that helps maintain the skin's firmness and elasticity. This contributes to a plumper, more youthful appearance.

Enhances Overall Skin Hydration

Beyond its other benefits, niacinamide helps skin retain essential moisture, ensuring it stays supple and hydrated. This makes moisturizers with niacinamide an excellent choice for lasting hydration.

How to Choose Niacinamide Skin Care Products

Selecting the ideal niacinamide skin care products for you depends on your individual skin needs and preferences.

Identify Your Primary Skin Concern

If addressing signs of maturity is your goal, consider products like our RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator, which features EGCG (green tea derived antioxidant) and niacinamide to target visible signs of aging. And for enlarged pores and uneven skin tone, our BOOST 10% Niacinamide Booster serum is an excellent choice. 

Consider Your Skin Type & Sensitivity

For oily or acne-prone skin, opt for a niacinamide serum with a concentration of 10% or 20% for improved oil regulation and pore refinement. If you have dry skin, a 10% niacinamide serum can offer deep hydration, especially when layered with your favourite moisturizer like our Invisible Finish Moisture Gel. If you have sensitive skin, always start with a lower concentration to allow your skin to adjust.

Assess Your Current Skincare Routine

Layering is key to maximising your skincare routine. Easily include our CLINICAL Niacinamide 20% treatment in your daily routine and finish off with our CLEAR Oil-Free Moisturizer for extra benefits.
