Niacinamide

What is Niacinamide?

A vitamin B3 derivative used for tone evenness, sebum control and barrier support, typically at 2–10%. Korea's MFDS recognises it as a functional whitening active in a defined range, which is why so many Korean formulas sit on exactly 2% or 5% rather than on a round marketing number.
