Niacinamide is a water-soluble and multi-functional derivative of Vitamin B3, which is one of the most potent anti-inflammatories in skincare. It has been shown to regulate oil secretion, reduce redness, brighten skin tone, reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, fight free radicals, and repair the skin barrier.

Niacinamide is also able to minimise the appearance of pores, fade pigmentation, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help the skin maintain an optimal level of hydration. The list of benefits is impressive and that’s why we can’t recommend it enough to start incorporating into your skin routine no matter your skin type.

The rejuvenating powder-form cleanser boasts a cocktail of Vitamin C Compound, Niacinamide, and Citric Acid to tighten pores, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and diminish pigmentation. While cleansers don’t get a lot of credit for their active- ingredient benefits, they are an essential first step for those with skincare concerns such as acne, pigmentation, dull skin, and a compromised skin barrier.

By helping to reduce excess sebum production, this Niacinamide-rich cleanser keeps clogged pores at bay. Turning into a soft paste when in contact with water, the Definitive Enzyme Cleanser removes impurities and restores radiance to the skin for an incredibly effective cleansing routine

For a serum that does it all in one bottle, Composition No.1 by Auteur is the perfect answer.

The perfect companion for irritated and Rosacea-affected skin, Sérum Erythos visibly reduces redness, protects the skin against inflammation, and soothes the skin with the help of Niacinamide as one of the main ingredients, along with Red Algae Extract, and White Tea Leaf.

Light in texture and a wonderful accompaniment to the Masque Biosensible, it is the ultimate addition to any skincare routine that has been created to relieve Rosacea and inhibit the formation of new blood vessels from forming and rising to the surface of the skin, creating a red flush effect.

For sensitive skin types looking to regulate oil secretion, treat hyperpigmentation, minimise fine lines and wrinkles and reduce redness, Sérum Erythos is the go-to product that does it all without compromising the skin’s barrier and irritating the skin further.

Staying true to the internationally recognised statement of being a facial in a bottle, the Lotion P50 PIGM 400 combines Niacinamide with lactic acid and mandelic acid amongst others to combat pigmentation and prevent its formation.

A toner that does it all, it strengthens the skin, balances the skin’s PH, removes dead cells and impurities, as the Niacinamide works to reduce and prevent pigmentation and inhibit melanin synthesis, along with purifying and regulating the sebum. The clear water-based lotion is an incredible addition to any skincare routine looking to diminish existing pigmentation and prevent any future formations.

Easy to use and incorporate into your self-care time, apply a few drops (for the first two weeks on a dampened cotton pad) and press and release, patting the product over the face, neck and décolleté.
