Niacinamide Explained: Skin Barrier Repair, Hydration, and Hyperpigmentation Support
In this episode of the Facially Conscious Podcast, Trina and Rebecca take a thoughtful deep dive into niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3 that has become one of the most widely studied and versatile ingredients in modern skincare.
Niacinamide is known for supporting multiple aspects of skin barrier repair, hydration, oil regulation, and hyperpigmentation management, but its benefits depend largely on how it is formulated and the percentage used. This episode explores how niacinamide works within the skin, why it behaves differently at varying concentrations, and how it fits into a balanced, evidence-informed skincare routine.
Designed for skincare-curious listeners and professionals alike, this conversation focuses on understanding—not overpromising—the role niacinamide plays in supporting skin health. Whether you’re dealing with dryness, uneven skin tone, or excess oil, this episode offers clear guidance to help you decide if niacinamide is right for your daily routine.
In this episode, we discuss:
What niacinamide is and how it functions in skincare
The relationship between niacinamide concentration and skin benefits
How niacinamide supports the skin barrier and hydration
Its role in managing hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
How niacinamide can help regulate oily or congested skin
How to thoughtfully incorporate niacinamide into a routine
