Niacinamide
Also listed as Vitamin B3, Nicotinamide
What it does
Vitamin B3. It helps skin make its own ceramides, regulates oil and reduces the pigment transfer behind dark marks. It is one of the best-tolerated actives there is, which is why it appears in more K-beauty products than any other.
How to use it
Morning, evening or both, in a serum or moisturizer. Concentrations of 2 to 5 percent are the best studied; higher strengths can cause flushing on sensitive skin.
