Niacinamide for Redness & Barrier Support

Niacinamide is one of the few ingredients that can both calm redness and strengthen the skin barrier over time – as long as you use an appropriate strength and a gentle overall routine.

Why niacinamide is good for sensitive skin

• Supports the production of ceramides – key lipids in the skin barrier.
• Helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
• Has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce visible redness.

Tips for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin

• Stay in the 2–5% range unless your dermatologist suggests higher.
• Choose fragrance-free formulas with simple ingredient lists.
• Introduce slowly – 2–3 nights per week at first.

Niacinamide is not a cure for rosacea or chronic inflammatory skin conditions. Always talk to your own doctor or dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment advice.
