Niacinamide, the vitamin B3 hero, works quietly in the background of your routine, brightening dull skin and calming irritation. NEWPAR Apply a pea‑sized amount after cleansing, before you lock in moisture. Two doses a day—morning and night—are enough to see results. NEWPAR When you layer it with hyaluronic acid, you get a weight‑less glow that feels like a hug. Pair with a gentle retinol in the evening for deeper anti‑aging work—just keep the retinol off if you have reactive skin. NEWPAR I’ve been using The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% for 30 days, and the dark spots from acne faded into the background. The texture is a lightweight gel that slides on like a whisper—no pilling, no greasy feel. NEWPAR It’s only ₹499 at Nykaa and comes in a 30 ml bottle, which lasts about six weeks at twice‑daily use. If your skin feels irritable or you’re new to niacinamide, start with a patch test and gradually increase.
