Ingredient Spotlight: The Benefits of a 10% Niacinamide Booster for Your Skin

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:

  1. Minimises the Appearance of Pores
    Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production, reducing oiliness and tightening stretched pores over time.

  2. Fades Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots
    It inhibits melanin transfer, gradually lightening uneven skin tone and post-acne marks.

  3. Strengthens the Skin Barrier
    Improves the skin’s natural lipid layer, locking in hydration and protecting from environmental damage.

  4. Soothes Redness and Sensitivity
    Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm rosacea, blotchiness, and general skin irritation.

  5. Improves Texture and Radiance
    With consistent use, skin feels smoother, more refined, and visibly brighter.

  6. Fights Fine Lines and Signs of Ageing
    Supports collagen production and reduces oxidative stress, helping keep skin youthful.

  7. 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
