What Is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin loved by dermatologists for its versatility and gentle nature. It's suitable for nearly all skin types—including sensitive and acne-prone—and works beautifully alongside other actives like hyaluronic acid, zinc, peptides, and even retinol.
🌟 What Makes 10% Niacinamide So Effective?
While lower percentages (2–5%) are great for beginners, a 10% concentration delivers faster, more visible results—especially when formulated correctly.
✨ 7 Benefits of a 10% Niacinamide Booster:
-
Minimises the Appearance of Pores
Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production, reducing oiliness and tightening stretched pores over time. -
Fades Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots
It inhibits melanin transfer, gradually lightening uneven skin tone and post-acne marks. -
Strengthens the Skin Barrier
Improves the skin’s natural lipid layer, locking in hydration and protecting from environmental damage. -
Soothes Redness and Sensitivity
Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm rosacea, blotchiness, and general skin irritation. -
Improves Texture and Radiance
With consistent use, skin feels smoother, more refined, and visibly brighter. -
Fights Fine Lines and Signs of Ageing
Supports collagen production and reduces oxidative stress, helping keep skin youthful. -
Works Well with Most Routines
Unlike acids or retinoids, niacinamide is non-sensitising and pairs beautifully with almost all active ingredients.
🧴 How to Use a 10% Niacinamide Booster
-
Apply after toning but before heavier creams or oils
-
Use once or twice daily, depending on skin tolerance
-
Layer with hyaluronic acid for a plumping boost
-
Always follow with SPF during the day
💡 FWBEAUTY Tip: Follow with our Saffron Cream Brightening Moisturiser or Face Ghee for deep nourishment and barrier repair.
⚠️ Is 10% Too Strong for Some Skin Types?
Most skin types tolerate 10% niacinamide well, but if you notice purging, irritation, or redness:
-
Reduce application to 2–3 times per week
-
Mix with your moisturiser to dilute
-
Try a 5% formulation first, then work up
