Important Things to Know about Niacinamide

What are the benefits of niacinamide?
Niacinamide's versatility is one of its key benefits. Not only is it compatible with other skincare ingredients, but niacinamide is gentle and typically well tolerated—even by those with sensitive skin, which means it can be used on many skin types and for a variety of concerns, including dryness, tightness and flakiness.
