This popular, tried-and-true ingredient is popping up in formulations from creams to serums more and more. As a dermatology-inspired brand, we stand by this ingredient\u2019s major role in skincare. Here, we cover everything from what this ingredient is, to what it does for your skin\u2014and why dermatologists and brands alike are abuzz about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_even_are_niacinamides\"><\/span><strong>What even are niacinamides?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Niacinamide is also called Nicotinamide. This ingredient is one of two forms of vitamin B3, AKA niacin, that\u2019s found in supplements. Niacinamide is known to help with acne, rosacea, pigmentation and wrinkles, and minimizing the appearance of pores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_role_of_niacinamides_Why_are_they_an_ingredient_in_the_new_improved_REDEFINE_Regimen\"><\/span><strong>What is the role of niacinamides? Why are they an ingredient in the new + improved REDEFINE Regimen?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, we tapped into Dr. Sumita Butani, SVP, Innovation at Rodan + Fields for her input. They note that Niacinamide has been around for a long time, both as an oral supplement and certainly as a topical agent in all aspects of skin, particularly because it is anti-inflammatory. That means that it stops swelling, redness and inflammation. Inflammation leads to aging of skin. \u201cSo, everything we can do to encourage anti-inflammatory in the body during its natural breakdown system is helpful,\u201d Dr. Butani says. Niacinamide fills this particular, important area of inflammation. If you can stop inflammation, you get a lot less of the oxidants (think of why we consume and apply antioxidants) from being released. We limit the oxidant molecules that are damaging. You also have less breakdown of Peptide and less destruction of the collagen in skin itself. Niacinamide also has brightening effects for skin. \u201cIt\u2019s helpful for acne, it\u2019s helpful for rosacea, and it\u2019s helpful for inflammation, making it helpful for anti-aging overall,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen we talk about slowing aging, it is comprehensive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_better_in_skincare_Niacinamides_or_Vitamin_C_Which_specific_skin_concerns_do_each_better_target\"><\/span><strong>What does better in skincare: Niacinamides or Vitamin C? Which specific skin concerns do each better target?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Butani says that there isn\u2019t one that is better than the other. The answer goes back to Rodan + Fields\u2019 Multi-Med Therapy approach to skin concerns. You cannot lean on one molecule to be this miracle that is going to save you from a condition, they say. So, it is the best molecule that is active in a formula, that really gets to its target, that makes change. For example, if you have Vitamin C, but it is neutralized (this is when the formula has turned brown\u2014it\u2019s oxidized, dead and no longer active), it won\u2019t be able to effectively work. If you have Vitamin C in a formula where the pH is not right, same thing. You no longer have an active molecule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGetting into the hard science, when we say Multi-Med Therapy, it\u2019s optimizing each molecule with the correct pH with the correct formulations that actually are active in doing the hard lifting,\u201d says Dr. Butani. \u201cAnd again, we don\u2019t believe it is just Vitamin C or that Vitamin C is better than Niacinamide because why not have both when they can both give you benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_niacinamide_used_topically_in_skincare_products_versus_niacinamide_used_in_supplements_and_food\"><\/span><strong>What is the difference between niacinamide used topically in skincare products versus niacinamide used in supplements and food? <\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vitamin B3 is found in eggs, cereals, green vegetables, beans, milk and fish. These dietary nutrients, however, do not have an impact on skin health. To be sure that niacinamide is targeting your skin concerns, it must be used topically. Skincare to the rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An anti-inflammatory diet is very important, Dr. Butani says. \u201cSo, all those sugars that we love to have are very bad.\u201d Dr. Butani says that if you want to age better, you want to stick to a carbohydrate-free, sugar-free diet. It\u2019s very helpful for aging and inflammation in the body. \u201cIt&#8217;s logical to make the big effort for diet and the same goes for exercise,\u201d she says. \u201cHowever, too much exercise can lead to inflammation and breakdown, but by exercising effectively, you make your mitochondria stronger.\u201d When mitochondria are stronger, you get better optimization of enzymatic reactions in the cell itself \u2013 cell-to-cell.&nbsp; <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_role_does_Vitamin_B3_play_in_our_body\"><\/span><strong>What role does Vitamin B3 play in our body? <\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It regulates digestion.<\/li><li>It treats pellagra.<\/li><li>Improves skin.<\/li><li>It reduces arthritis symptoms.<\/li><li>It prevents the risk of heart disease.<\/li><li>It has a positive effect on mental health.<\/li><li>It helps with diabetes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do niacinamides do for your skin?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to benefits, Niacinamide does a lot for the health of your skin. This ingredient helps with skin cancer prevention. For a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa1506197\">2015 study in the New England Journal of Medicine<\/a>, results showed that during the study year, there were 23% fewer new cases of skin cancer in the group that received niacinamide (336 cancers) compared to those who got the placebo (463 cancers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Niacinamide helps build keratin in the skin, which helps keep your skin healthy and firm.<\/li><li>Niacinamide helps skin retain moisture, which is especially beneficial for mature, dry skin or those with sensitive skin.<\/li><li>Niacinamide reduces inflammation, helping with acne, eczema and other inflammatory skin issues.<\/li><li>Niacnamide minimizes pore appearance.<\/li><li>Niacinamide helps with keeping skin smooth and moisturized and may contribute to a reduction in pore size over time.<\/li><li>Niacinamide regulates oil production of the skin.<\/li><li>Niacinamide protects against sun damage.<\/li><li>Niacinamide helps target hyperpigmentation \u2014 specifically by visibly lightening dark spots.<\/li><li>Niacinamide minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.<\/li><li>Niacinamide helps reduce visible redness.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Niacinamide products typically come in the form of serums. Niacinamide also makes an appearance in some cleansers and creams, as well as face masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_skin_type_is_Niacinamide_best_for\"><\/span><strong>What skin type is Niacinamide best for? <\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mostly recommended by dermatologists to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/skincare-guides\/how-to-get-rid-of-dark-spots-on-your-face\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">address visible dark spots<\/a> on the skin, Niacinamide works well for any skin type at every age.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_side_effects\"><\/span><strong>What are the side effects?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Topical niacinamide is generally safe to use. If you have allergies, you may be prone to experience an allergic reaction to it, as Niacinamide can cause your body to release histamine. A simple patch test will help you avoid a reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_it_lighten_the_skin\"><\/span><strong>Does it lighten the skin?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Niacinamide helps visibly fade age spots and dark spots, it does lighten the appearance of skin and is effective at managing discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_for_products_with_niacinamides_to_work\"><\/span><strong>How long does it take for products with niacinamides to work?&nbsp; <\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Butani emphasizes the importance of formulation as opposed to a sole ingredient. The key here is consistency, as it is with any skincare routine. Using the full REDEFINE Regimen, you can expect to see the first visible results after 4 weeks and then more impact after 8 weeks. The clinicals for the REDEFINE Regimen speak for themselves (please keep in mind that these results are from participants using the entire Regimen, as recommended). After 8 weeks, 94% of participants had softer, more supple skin. 94% had smoother skin, and 91% noticed firmer skin. 85% had improved overall appearance\/healthy glow*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bottom line \u2013 niacinamide is a tried-and-true ingredient that performs an important role in a skincare routine. For example, Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) can be found in REDEFINE Pore Refining Toner, which works to visibly even the appearance of skin tone for a youthful glow. Using this toner, along with the other steps of the Regimen, helps address all major signs of aging However, we you know, there are no \u201cmiracle\u201d ingredients or singular products. It\u2019s important to stick to a skincare Regimen to see long-term visibly transformative results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Based on an 8-week U.S. clinical and consumer study.
