Nicotinamide is a popular ingredient in skincare products, and many products use nicotinamide as a selling point to attract customers. However, the public’s understanding of nicotinamide may only stop at its effect, the use of it is not so clear, so today we will talk about the correct use of nicotinamide, and how to use nicotinamide in our daily skincare.
Nicotinamide is a water-soluble vitamin, a member of the vitamin B group. It is also a derivative of vitamin B3. It is usually added to various skin care products or used as a nicotinamide stock solution.
For daily use, first, clean your face and apply toner, then smear the nicotinamide stock solution on your face and gently massage until it is evenly absorbed. You can also mix the stock solution and toner, soak the mask paper and apply it on your face as a mask. Since nicotinamide can be irritating, it is recommended to conduct an allergy test before using it, apply it to the hands or behind the ears, and make sure there is no allergic reaction before continuing to use it. In addition, nicotinamide stock solution can be used in small amounts for the first time, and the dose can be gradually increased after skin tolerance is established.
