Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps balance oil, reduce redness, and reinforce the skin barrier for smoother, calmer-looking skin.
Niacinamide is a multitasking active that supports healthier-looking pores, a stronger barrier, and a more even tone. It helps regulate excess sebum, visibly calms redness, and improves moisture retention — making skin feel less reactive and more resilient. Matriskin uses biomimetic formulations that pair Vitamin B3 with peptides, zinc, and barrier lipids for high performance with excellent tolerance.
How Niacinamide Works in the Skin
Niacinamide (nicotinamide) optimises multiple pathways at once: it supports ceramide synthesis for better moisture retention, helps regulate sebum, and moderates inflammation mediators linked to redness and sensitivity. Over time, skin looks clearer, smoother, and better balanced.
- Oil regulation: helps normalise sebum flow for a fresher, less-shiny look.
- Redness relief: soothes visible irritation and post-blemish unevenness.
- Barrier support: promotes ceramide production to reduce TEWL and tightness.
- Pore & texture refinement: with consistent use, improves the look of enlarged pores and roughness.
“Niacinamide is balance for the skin — clearer pores, calmer tone, stronger barrier.“
Biomimicry for Clearer, Calmer, More Resilient Skin
Matriskin pairs niacinamide with complementary actives to maximise results while keeping formulas gentle: zinc compounds for clarity, peptides for repair signalling, and barrier lipids + hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture. This biomimetic approach respects skin biology and delivers visible improvements with excellent daily tolerance.
IN ESSENCE
Niacinamide restores balance — regulating oil, easing redness, and strengthening the barrier for smoother, more composed skin.
Niacinamide — Research Highlights
- Oil & shine: normalises sebum for a more matte, refined look.
- Redness & sensitivity: moderates inflammatory mediators to visibly calm skin.
- Barrier strength: supports ceramide synthesis, reducing transepidermal water loss.
- Texture & pores: with steady use, skin appears smoother and pores less pronounced.
Who Benefits from Niacinamide
- Combination or oily skin with visible shine or enlarged pores.
- Reactive, redness-prone, or post-blemish uneven tone.
- Skin experiencing barrier weakness, tightness, or dehydration.
- Those introducing vitamin C or retinoids who want extra tolerance and balance.
How to Use Niacinamide
Use once or twice daily after cleansing. Niacinamide layers well with peptides, zinc, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. For oilier skin, pair with lightweight hydrators; for sensitive or post-procedure phases, follow with barrier lipids (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids) to seal hydration.
