LA ROCHE Pure Niacinamide serum anti-dark spots, 30ml

Product Information

It's most commonly used in serums and can be found in percentages of 4%, 10% and 20%. "It is generally very well tolerated by all skin types however, I would always suggest using a lower percentage as a leave-on product if you have never tried it before" says Sommerlad. What does niacinamide do to the skin? Niacinamide has become one of the buzziest skincare words on the market—and for good reason. The superstar ingredient works to treat various skin concerns at once, making it essential to add the best niacinamide serum into your skincare regimen. Yup, whilst I love my vitamin C for getting a glow, hyaluronic acid for moisturising and retinol for targeting those ever-present fine lines, niacinamide has become my go-to for preventing breakouts and brightening up my skin. And I'm not alone, the ingredient has been growing in popularity as more and more beauty brands embrace it's benefits. Use day and night: The great news is that niacinamide is gentle and can be used daily in both your morning and nighttime skincare routines. As with any serum, make sure you layer it on after cleansing (to remove makeup, dirt, and oil) and before moisturizer (so it can penetrate the skin more easily.) “I personally infuse this into my skincare routine and am regularly recommending this to my patients,” says Dr. Love. The ingredient is a form of vitamin B3 and can stand on its own in face serums and creams, but it’s even better when combined with other skin-boosting ingredients. “B3 is an essential nutrient the body needs,” says Purvisha Patel, M.D., board-certified dermatologist and founder of Visha Skincare.

Turns out, it actually does quite a lot. "Firstly, it can help treat acne by balancing oil production, reducing inflammation and helping even out skin tone imbalance" says Sommerlad. "It can also help those with eczema as it supports the skin barrier, helps boost hydration and is anti-inflammatory. Finally, it's also great for those interested in reducing the signs of premature ageing, as it works to minimise pore size, even out pigmentation and smooth out fine lines." How does niacinamide work?

Reduce the appearance of dark spots with La Roche Posay Pure Niacinamide 10 Serum, a multi-tasking dermatological serum that has been specifically created for sensitive skin. If you’re looking for a multifunctional skincare hero the multi-tasking dermatological La Roche-Posay Pure Niacinamide is for you. Perfect for anyone who suffers from multiple concerns and every changing skin; niacinamide is a great staple for your day-to-day routine.

It’s also one skin care ingredient that plays well with others, thanks in part to those anti-inflammatory chops—so much so that you can (and should) pair them strategically. “Niacinamide is a soothing ingredient, so it can help make an exfoliating ingredient or product more tolerable to sensitive skin, allowing you to use it more frequently and see the benefits of it,” she says. “Because of these properties, it pairs well with retinols and alpha hydroxy acids, or AHAs.”Thought that was it? Nope. Niacinamide can also enhance the hydrating benefits of humectants—think hyaluronic acid and glycerin—so it’s a winner in moisturizers too. “It works by preventing evaporation of moisture from the skin into the environment,” Dr. Robinson explains; in other words, it helps supplement the skin barrier. You can also find it in cleansers and toners, although she prefers face serums for their higher rate of absorption. Heads up: To maximize niacinamide’s benefits, sunscreen is essential, so make sure you follow up your serum with a product that has at least SPF 30, which is the minimum amount recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology.

If you're thinking about adding a little niacinamide to your skincare shelfie, here's all you need to know... What is niacinamide? We’ve seen an increase of 42% of you searching for an essential nutrient and vitamin: Niacinamide! Known for its multi-purpose nature niacinamide is an all-rounder for your skin, targeting everything from dehydration and skin texture to hyperpigmentation and visible signs of ageing. If you’re looking to incorporate vitamin b3 (niacinamide) into your routine but you’re concerned about reaction or sensitivity the La Roche-Posay Pure Niacinamide 10 Serum is a great place to start… Dr. Patel also adds that the ingredient has a significant brightening benefit, “as it affects melanocytes, cells that play a role in pigment formation in the skin.” For that reason, you’ll find it in products designed to fight discoloration and lessen acne scars. What’s more, because niacinamide reduces irritation, “it can temper the effects of other anti-aging ingredients that can cause the skin to act up, like wrinkle-smoothing retinol or exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids,” Dr. Patel adds. Niacinamide does a little bit of everything with minimum to potentially no irritation, making it a very inclusive ingredient,” says Elyse Love M.D., a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City. “This powerhouse ingredient soothes the skin barrier, decreases overall irritation for a slew of skin issues, helps enhance skin’s overall moisture, reduces oiliness, and promotes more even skin tones,” she explains.
