Niacinamide for Rosacea
A multitasker that calms redness, evens out skin tone, and helps oily skin balance out. One of the safest do-a-little-of-everything ingredients.
Why it works for Rosacea
Strengthens the weak skin barrier that comes with rosacea, so your skin holds onto water better and loses less of it. It calms inflammation and helps your skin make more of its own barrier fats (ceramides). In a 2005 trial of 50 people, a niacinamide moisturizer clearly improved the barrier and eased rosacea signs over 4 weeks. It is pregnancy-safe and gentle.
How Niacinamide works
Reduces transepidermal water loss, inhibits melanosome transfer, and dampens inflammatory cytokines.
