There are many face serums available in the market these days - from glycolic acid to hyaluronic acid - enticing those who want to keep their skincare routine updated with the latest trends. Now, a new name added to the list is of niacinamide serum.
Recently, dermatologist Aanchal Panth spoke about the benefits of using niacinamide serum. Here are some of them.
Prevents Wrinkles
Niacinamide prevents moisture loss from your skin which prevents the problem of premature wrinkles.
Controls Oil
If your skin is oily then niacinamide will help you to keep the oiliness in check. It also shrinks enlarged pores.
Prevents Redness
Niacinamide reduces the problem of acne and redness of the face.
Rich in Antioxidants
Niacinamide is loaded with antioxidants. It protects our cells from harmful toxins by becoming a barrier.
Reduces hyperpigmentation
Niacinamide also helps lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation. This makes your skin colour look uniform.
You can apply niacinamide serum once or twice a day. After washing your face, first apply niacinamide serum, and then apply a moisturiser and sunscreen during the day.
Pro tip: Always do a patch test before using it on your face
