Niacinamide: what it does & who it's for
A form of vitamin B3 — calms redness, keeps oil in check, and fades dark spots.
What it is
A form of vitamin B3 — calms redness, keeps oil in check, and fades dark spots. In short, it's one of the brightening ingredients Vaiya's engine understands and can match to your skin and goals.
How to use it
Introduce Niacinamide slowly — every other day at first — and give your skin a couple of weeks to adjust before increasing frequency. Patch test on a small area first, and if you layer several actives, add one at a time so you can tell what's working.
