Niacinamide is a form of niacin (Vitamin B3) which possesses powerful anti-inflammatory properties and helps cellular energy metabolism. Niacinamide is so anti-inflammatory that it may be recommended for rosacea and inflammatory acne. Niacinamide supports skin barrier repair and helps skin cells remain healthy and vibrant. Niacinamide has been called the “no flush niacin”, although under conditions of high acidity, some niacinamide may be chemically converted to small amounts of niacin.
