How Niacinamide Reduces Redness and Calms Inflammation

Skin redness and inflammation can be caused by a variety of factors—acne, rosacea, environmental stressors, or simply sensitive skin. The good news? Niacinamide is a highly effective ingredient for reducing redness and calming inflamed skin.

Niacinamide: The Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse

Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 that has gained recognition for its remarkable ability to soothe the skin and calm inflammation. But how exactly does it work?

1. Reduces Inflammatory Markers: Niacinamide inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory molecules, making it effective for reducing redness caused by acne, rosacea, and eczema.
2. Strengthens the Skin Barrier: By fortifying the skin's natural lipid barrier, niacinamide helps protect against environmental aggressors that contribute to irritation and redness.
3. Improves Hydration: Keeping the skin well-hydrated is key to reducing redness. Niacinamide boosts the production of ceramides, which improve skin hydration levels and reduce the likelihood of irritation.

How to Use Niacinamide for Redness Relief

When incorporating niacinamide into your routine, consistency is key. Here’s how:

• Step 1: Start with our gentle cleanser to avoid stripping the skin’s natural oils.
• Step 2: Apply our niacinamide serum (5% or less for sensitive skin) after cleansing and before moisturizing.
• Step 3: Follow with a soothing moisturizer or hyaluronic acid serum to lock in hydration.
• Step 4: If redness is caused by sun exposure, be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

With regular use, you’ll notice a reduction in redness, improved skin texture, and fewer flare-ups.
