Niacinamide, a vitamin B3 derivative, helps reduce hyperpigmentation by limiting melanin transfer between skin cells. Consistent use can lighten dark spots and improve brightness in about four weeks. A 5% concentration suits most skin types without irritation. Always pair niacinamide with sunscreen to maintain results and prevent new pigmentation.
Niacinamide supports even tone and a stronger skin barrier while reducing redness and post-acne marks. Key actions include:
It combines well with brightening ingredients like vitamin C, alpha arbutin, and AHAs, and is stable for daily use. Apply sunscreen SPF 50 every morning.
Within India’s vegan skincare market, niacinamide features in serums, sunscreens, and moisturizers free from parabens, silicones, and sulphates. Examples from Lotus Botanicals:
