Niacinamide 101: The Ingredient That Does Everything

Why niacinamide is the one skincare ingredient every routine needs — and how to use it.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) addresses almost every skin concern imaginable — and it’s gentle enough for daily use.

What Niacinamide Does

  • Minimizes pore appearance
  • Reduces redness and blotchiness
  • Improves uneven skin tone
  • Strengthens the skin barrier
  • Regulates sebum production
  • Fades dark spots

How to Use It

Apply after cleansing, before heavier serums. Use 5–10% concentration. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is our top pick — EGP 699 at Strawberries. ✨
