Niacinamide

Ingredient

How should I read niacinamide on a label?

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 used in cosmetics. The ingredient name alone does not tell you the concentration or how a finished formula will feel.

One product with it is enough

Look at the role of the product containing it: a moisturizer and a serum are not interchangeable just because they share an ingredient. If you already have a familiar formula with niacinamide, you do not need to collect every other niacinamide product.

Try this

  • Identify the product role before adding it.
  • Do not infer a percentage from a label position.
  • Keep new-formula introductions separate.
