Niacinamide: all products

Niacinamide — also known as vitamin B3 or nicotinamide — is today one of the most studied and versatile ingredients in modern cosmetics. You can find it in serums, creams, toners, and targeted treatments for the face and body, appreciated for its tolerability even on sensitive skin and for its ease of combination with other active ingredients. Our selection includes 93 products formulated with niacinamide as the main ingredient, chosen from over 180,000 references in the OneBioShop catalog.

How to choose the right niacinamide product for you

The first criterion for selection is concentration: products on the market typically range from 2% to 10%. Lower concentrations are recommended for those approaching the ingredient for the first time or who have reactive skin; higher concentrations are found in specific formulations for targeted treatments. Then consider the format: watery serums ensure quick penetration and sit well under moisturizer, while creams and fluids combine niacinamide with emollient agents, making them more practical for those looking to reduce steps in their routine. Finally, consider whether you are looking for a single-ingredient product or a combined formula with other actives like zinc, hyaluronic acid, or peptides, which address more complex needs.

A common mistake is to purchase the highest concentration thinking it is always the best choice: starting gradually allows the skin to adapt without the risk of temporary redness. Always check the INCI list to exclude ingredients you are sensitive to, and read the usage instructions provided on each product's label.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is niacinamide suitable for all skin types?

In general, it is considered well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive ones. However, each formulation is different: always read the label and, in case of doubts or specific skin conditions, consult a dermatologist or your trusted pharmacist.

Can niacinamide be used together with vitamin C?

Contrary to popular belief, modern formulations often allow for the combination of the two ingredients without issues. The important thing is to follow the specific instructions of each product and introduce one new active at a time into your routine.

How many times a day should a niacinamide product be used?

It depends on the formulation: many products are indicated for both morning and evening use, while others are only for once a day. Always refer to the instructions on the label and the advice of your trusted consultant.
