• Boosting the immunity of the skin.
• Improve epidermal barried performance because niacinamide produce ceramides that can keep your skin strong and prevent your skin from losing a lot of water to keep it moisture.
• Improve redness and blotchiness in the skin by daily application of niacinamide.
• Regulated oil flow which is good for those with oily skin. You can add niacinamide on daily skincare routine rather than wash your face many times to look fresh.
• Protects skin from infrared light because niacinamide protects skin from heat.
• Hyper-pigmentation, niacinamide will assist in the reduction of uneven pigmentation by slowing down the transfer of melanin to your skin’s epidermis.
• Minimise lines and wrinkles.
• No more dull and sallow skin as niacinamide is an antioxidant can reduces the negative impact of oxidative stress.

The research this misconception is based on was conducted in the 1960s; the forms of niacinamide and vitamin C used in this study were not stabilized—although niacinamide itself is very stable. The base of the formula used in this study was also far different than today’s sophisticated skincare formulas.  Today, cosmetic chemists know how to combine niacinamide and vitamin C in the ideal base formulas that enhance their compatibility.

The other common concern we’ve seen about combining these two ingredients has to do with the pH range. The concern is that the acidic environment ascorbic acid needs to be most effective will cause niacinamide will convert to nicotinic acid, a form that can be sensitizing, possibly inducing redness. Good news: This conversion process would only happen under conditions of the formula being exposed to very high heat for a long period of time. This would not apply to layering skincare products or to heat conditions that occur during manufacturing, transport, and storage of cosmetic products that contain niacinamide and ascorbic acid.

What all of this means is that you can use or layer products containing both niacinamide and vitamin C knowing that they will not render each other any less effective. Each of these ingredients on its own can help to address dark spots, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, loss of firmness, and dullness. When used together, they become even more of a powerhouse! This duo will help give you an even better chance at achieving a radiant, smooth, even, younger-looking complexion.
