PNN New Delhi [India], September 19: Is your skin starting to feel rough or uneven? Are enlarged pores becoming more noticeable? These are common signs of texture issues, which makeup can only temporarily
hide. The real fix lies in nourishing your skin from within. That’s where Niacinamide serum comes in. This gentle yet powerful form of Vitamin B3 is trusted for refining skin texture, minimising the look of pores, and giving your skin a smoother, more even finish. In this guide, we’ll break down how Niacinamide works and how consistent use can visibly improve your skin’s texture in as little as 15 days. What is Niacinamide? Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of Vitamin B3, which is essential for your skin to support barrier function, repair damage, and build resilience. This ingredient in skincare products is known for its gentle nature, making it the opposite of other harsh actives. It is tough on various skin problems associated with all skin types, whether it is oily, dry, sensitive, or even acne-prone skin. Niacinamide works at the cellular level when you apply it topically to help you with the following aspects. -Reduce inflammation that causes redness and irritation. -Control oil production to prevent clogged pores and breakouts. -Allow Collagen and Ceramide production for a strong skin barrier. -Better cell turnover, leading to a smoother and even texture. How Niacinamide Serum Improves Your Skin’s Texture Benefits of Niacinamide for Skin Texture -Refines and smooths the skin’s surface: Niacinamide allows shedding of the dead skin cells to reveal the new ones, which leaves a soft and clear surface. -Minimises the appearance of pores and fine lines: The appearance of pores and fine lines is also minimised due to sebum control and improved elasticity by using Niacinamide regularly. -Improves radiance and evenness: Your dull and uneven skin will transform into a glowing one because Niacinamide reduces pigmentation and improves circulation. How Long Does It Take to See Results? Most people notice small changes in their skin within two weeks of regular use, but the results may vary depending on various factors. The skin type, concentration of Niacinamide serum, and consistency with use can determine the result. -Oily skin observes clear pores quickly. -Dry or sensitive skin may take time to notice improved hydration and barrier repair. -Consistent use (morning and night) can lead to faster visible changes. Day-by-Day Breakdown: What to Expect in 15 Days Days 1-5: Initial Hydration and Skin Barrier Repair Niacinamide may work more at the cellular level in the beginning, so that you may notice the following changes. -The tightness of your skin reduces due to hydration. -Skin becomes resilient and responds better to irritants. -Strong skin barrier to prevent further skin damage. Days 6-10: Visible Improvement in Skin Texture The changes become more evident as you use it consistently. -Smaller-looking pores due to balanced oil production. -Less redness or irritation if you’re acne-prone. -Softer, smoother skin when you touch your face. Days 11-15: Noticeable Smoothing and Radiance By the end of two weeks, the results become more visible. -Rough patches feel refined and polished. -More even skin tone with a healthier glow. -Texture looks smoother overall, with a fresher appearance. Remember that when you are using Niacinamide for stubborn problems, such as pigmentation or fine lines, it may take at least 6 weeks to see the difference. Best Practices for Using Niacinamide Serum How to Apply Niacinamide Serum for Maximum Effectiveness -Cleanse gently: Starting with a clean face is the bare minimum for your routine, so wash away all the impurities and excess oil. Be gentle while washing your face, and do not scrub. -Apply niacinamide serum: Pat your skin dry and apply 2 to 3 drops of Niacinamide serum by gently dabbing it onto your skin for better absorption. -Follow with moisturiser: Niacinamide receives the support it needs to work its magic from intense hydration. Therefore, use a Ceramide moisturiser based on your skin type and evenly massage it across your face. -Use sunscreen in the morning: Sun damage can reverse all the progress you’ve made, so remember to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen if you use the Niacinamide serum during the day. Niacinamide Serum vs Other Skincare Ingredients for Texture -Niacinamide is a gentle ingredient that is great for multiple skin concerns and suitable for daily use. -Retinol is mostly for addressing the signs of ageing and deep texture issues, but it can be irritating. -AHAs/BHAs are excellent for exfoliation, but may cause sensitivity if you use them more often. Niacinamide differs from other actives in the way it improves your skin texture without any side effects, such as peeling or burning. It complements other products in your routine, making it ideal for daily use. Conclusion The rough texture of your skin may lead you to consider treatments that can be harsh on your skin. However, you can improve it by using a gentle ingredient that will also target other skin concerns to give you an overall better skin. All you need to do is use the Niacinamide serum for 15 days regularly to see improvement in hydration, smooth skin, and fewer breakouts due to clean pores. Your skin can benefit more from using this one ingredient rather than using multiple products for different skin concerns. (ADVERTORIAL DISCLAIMER: The above press release has been provided by PNN.
