    I think before you use Niacinamide you need to understand it clearly. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is an excellent ingredient for skincare, especially for those with dry, eczema-prone skin. It offers a wide range of benefits, including:

    Niacinamide helps increase the production of ceramides, which are essential lipids that help maintain the skin’s barrier function and prevent moisture loss. This makes niacinamide a valuable addition to body butter to keep your skin hydrated and supplemented.

    It has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe and calm irritated skin, making it a suitable choice for people with eczema or other inflammatory skin conditions.

    It can help reduce hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This, along with its ability to increase ceramide production, can help improve the overall appearance of your skin.

    Niacinamide may help reduce the appearance of pores by regulating the production of sebum, the natural oil our skin produces. This can make your skin look smoother and more refined.

    It has antibacterial properties that can help fight acne-causing a small world cup bacteria. It can also help reduce inflammation and redness associated with acne.

    Start with a low concentration (2-5%) and gradually increase as your skin tolerates it. For best results, use niacinamide products daily. Mix niacinamide products with other skin care products, such as moisturizers and serums.
