Serums with niacinamide

Cosmetologists advise not to limit daily facial care to just cream and a cleanser. This is because there are active substances that cannot be present in a high enough concentration within a cream to improve skin condition. However, in the form of a serum, they reveal their potential 100%. Niacinamide is exactly one of these components. It is a must-have for problematic, oily, sensitive, and aging skin. Therefore, it is worth buying a niacinamide serum so that it is in every woman's cosmetic bag.

Why specifically a niacinamide serum? Advantages of the format

Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3, which plays an important role in cellular metabolism. Upon entering the skin, the niacinamide molecule transforms into the coenzymes NAD and NADP. These compounds are responsible for repairing the DNA of damaged cells and force the skin to function as it should in a healthy state, without inflammation and damage.

As a rule, face creams contain no more than 4% niacinamide. According to clinical studies, this is not enough for the product to have the necessary impact on the skin. Thus, it is better to buy a niacinamide face serum, as it has its advantages:

• concentration. In the Hillary Niacinamide product, the active substance is at 7%. According to cosmetologists' observations, even 5% is enough for a visible result;
• fast penetration. The lightweight water base of serums ensures a deeper placement of the active substance in the epidermis;
• universality. The serum is suitable for morning or evening care; it enhances the action of creams and does not overload the skin.

Additionally, serums are quite economical. A few drops are enough for one application, so the bottle lasts a long time.

Main properties of niacinamide serum: 6 evidence-based facts of effectiveness

A team of scientists conducted a study for the British Journal of Dermatology: the regular use of niacinamide serum was examined. A group of women applied the product twice a day for 8–12 weeks. The results are impressive:

1. Sebum production decreased by 25–30%. Pores tightened not due to physical compression, but because their walls stopped stretching from excess oil.
2. Pigment spots became less noticeable. Especially those left behind after acne.
3. Fine lines were smoothed out, and the skin acquired a denser texture. Niacinamide stimulated collagen production, making the skin look younger and fresher.
4. Redness and inflammation significantly decreased. This was especially noted by women with sensitive skin and rosacea.
5. The skin's barrier function was restored by 50–70%. Under the influence of niacinamide, cells began to actively produce ceramides — fatty acids that retain moisture and protect the skin from bacteria and irritants. Women noted the disappearance of peeling and the feeling of tightness.
6. The skin became less oily but more hydrated.

In summary, it was found that regular use of the serum solves several major problems: oiliness, pigmentation, wrinkles, and redness.

How to use a niacinamide face serum

Since the skin begins to lose moisture and recover more slowly after ages 25–30, cosmetologists recommend including a niacinamide serum in daily care. If there are problems — breakouts, enlarged pores, increased sebum production — the product can be used starting from age 18. In such cases, it would be appropriate to buy the Hillary Multi Niacinamide Serum with niacinamide and zinc, which is even more effective in fighting acne and inflammation.

Apply the serum to damp skin after cleansing. You can do this twice a day, in the morning and evening. If another product is used in the evening, such as retinol, then a morning application of niacinamide will suffice. So, the order is as follows: cleansing — niacinamide — moisturizing cream — sunscreen (for morning care).

Niacinamide serum works well together with other products. For example, with cosmetics containing Centella. Enhancing each other's action, they accelerate the healing of micro-damage, soothe irritated skin, and strengthen its protective barrier. You can buy a niacinamide serum in the Hillary online store as part of sets specifically designed to address breakouts and dull skin tone. This is more cost-effective and convenient for daily care.
