Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is a versatile ingredient loved by both oily and dry skin. In winter, when the skin barrier is under stress, it can stay in your routine — what matters is the right step and the right partners.
What does niacinamide do?
- Supports the skin barrier and helps reduce moisture loss in dry air.
- Helps balance the look of pores and oiliness.
- Contributes to a more even-looking tone.
Its place in the routine
Apply niacinamide serum after cleansing and toner, before moisturizer — morning or evening.
Winter morning: cleanser → toner → niacinamide → hyaluronic acid (optional) → rich moisturizer → SPF 50+.
Winter evening: cleanser → niacinamide → repairing cream.
What to pair it with
- Hyaluronic acid and ceramides: a great duo against winter dryness.
- Retinol: niacinamide may help balance retinol-related dryness.
- Vitamin C: can be used together, or one in the morning and the other at night for sensitive skin.
Winter tip: if your skin is very dry, use it once a day followed by moisturizer, and reduce frequency if you notice stinging or redness.
