Niacinamide
/ nī-ə-SIN-ə-mīd /
A form of Vitamin B3 that addresses nearly every common skin concern in one ingredient — pores, oil control, pigmentation, redness, and barrier strength. It is arguably the most versatile active in modern skincare.
RC Tip: Works beautifully with most actives. Particularly potent when layered with Hyaluronic Acid on damp skin before moisturiser.
