Refine pores, balance oil and strengthen the barrier with niacinamide — one of skincare's most versatile, well-tolerated actives.

Not sure which strength suits you? The Academy's niacinamide glossary entry explains what the typical 4% to 10% range means in practice and which other actives it sits comfortably alongside. If it's the barrier side you're after, read what the skin barrier actually is and why it breaks down before you build your routine.


Frequently asked questions

Which niacinamide serum should I start with?

For a first niacinamide step, start with Medik8 Niacinamide Peptides, which blends niacinamide with NAG and peptides to even the look of tone and texture morning and night. If breakouts and shine are your main concern, AlumierMD Clarifying Serum uses niacinamide to visibly calm and mattify blemish-prone skin. Both slot in after cleansing, before moisturiser.

Does niacinamide help with uneven tone and dark marks?

Niacinamide is the ingredient for uneven-looking tone. AlumierMD EvenTone and Alastin A-LUMINATE Brightening Serum both use it to soften the appearance of dark marks and post-blemish patches. Give either eight to twelve weeks of daily use before judging the change in clarity.

How do I layer niacinamide with my other products?

Niacinamide is one of the easiest actives to layer, so apply Medik8 Niacinamide Peptides in the morning under SPF and reserve your retinol for the evening. If you use AlumierMD IntelliRET at night, a niacinamide serum earlier in the day keeps skin balanced without clashing. It also sits neatly alongside the hydrating Ultimate Boost Serum.

Is niacinamide suitable for sensitive skin?

Niacinamide suits sensitive and redness-prone skin, which is why it appears in the gentle HydraCalm Moisturiser. If your barrier feels compromised, layer Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops Facial Serum for a lightweight hydration boost that won't overload reactive skin. Start once daily and build to twice once all feels calm.

Is there a niacinamide option for the eye area?

For the under-eye area, Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream brings niacinamide-supported hydration to soften the look of puffiness and fine lines. Pat a small amount along the orbital bone morning and night. Keep it as your dedicated eye step rather than dragging face serums into that delicate zone.

How to use niacinamide

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) controls oil, refines pores, brightens and supports the barrier — and it layers well with almost everything, morning or night. Skintique stocks niacinamide formulas from AlumierMD, Obagi and more — it's gentle enough for daily use and pairs nicely with retinol and vitamin C.
