Niacinamide Serums: Niacinamide is also known Vitamin B3. I think this is the best ingredient suitable for all skin types. Experts say Niacinamide is particularly good for your routine in dry weather(mainly in winter). It is so helpful for dry skin and one of the ways it affects our skin is it increases Ceramides in our skin which are the building blocks of our skin. Ceramides hold the hydration of our skin and it is over-concerned when in winter when the air is cold, and low humidity, so, we can pre-treat with Niacinamide particularly prone to dryness.
Benefits of Niacinamide
- It removes dark spots.
- It cures acne-prone skin.
- It is helpful in hyperpigmentation.
- It is good in poor clarity and has anti-aging benefits.
- It brightens up your skin and improves your skin tone.
- It moisturizes or hydrates your skin very well.
How To Pick The Best Niacinamide Serum?
Today Niacinamide is widely used in most skincare products. People think that if we use an ingredient in a high percentage is it gonna be better, but it is not. It is about the formulation and strength of the ingredients that are suitable for your skin. Most of the clinical studies have been done with the percentages 3% and 5% Niacinamide and I have noticed people come and tell me that they have used 10% Niacinamide and their skin got irritated because most of the clinical studies have been done with 3% and 5% Niacinamide and these percentages are safer. So, 10 percent works for me if it works for you then it is great.
If you start with Niacinamide it recommends from 3% to 5%. Niacinamide is best to use 2-3 times a week. 2-3 drops on your skin are a good amount that can be used in the morning and evening.
Best Niacinamide Serum Reviews
1. Plum 10% Niacinamide Face Serum
My review: I highly recommend that you use this serum once a day during the night. You need only three maximum drops of this serum and that will cover your entire face and neck. First, you should cleanse your skin the if you apply a toner you can do so, and then use this serum the top everything off with the moisturizer and if you are using it day time sunscreen is necessary. I love the consistency of this serum as it does look thicker side. It is so lightweight and feels amazing.
Especially if you have dry skin you gonna love this serum because of this formula. Along with that I also feel that the combination of Niacinamide and rice water is very unique. It can heal and protect your skin. It gives a beautiful glow to your skin and it also makes skin super smooth. If you have dry skin then It gets absorbed into the skin beautifully in seconds but if you have oily skin it can take some time. It is also suitable for oily skin as they have mentioned that they are meant for all skin types. You have to wait 4 weeks to see some results.
