Why Niacinamide Deserves a Place in Every Routine

At Dr. Dermaluci Lab, we often get asked: “If I could only add one active to my skincare routine, which one should it be?”

Our answer is almost always the same: niacinamide.

This multitasking form of vitamin B3 has quietly become a star ingredient because it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin yet effective enough to show visible results.

1.    What niacinamide does for your skin

·       Calms redness and irritation → perfect for sensitive or stressed skin.

·       Brightens skin tone → helps reduce uneven pigmentation.

·       Strengthens the barrier → keeps hydration in, irritants out.

·       Balances oil → ideal for both oily and combination skin.

2.   Why we love it at Dermaluci Lab

When formulating products, we’re always searching for ingredients that bring results without compromising tolerance. Niacinamide is one of the few that checks all the boxes: soothing, protective, anti-aging, and safe for daily use.

3.    How to use it

·       Can be applied morning and evening.

·       Works well with most other actives (hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants).

·       Look for concentrations between 2–10% for optimal results.

Conclusion:
If you’re not sure where to start, start with niacinamide. Your skin will thank you — calmer, smoother, and more resilient.
