Are there other names for Niacinamide?Niacinamide is vitamin B3, also known as nicotinamide.
Can I use Niacinamide with Vitamin C?Niacinamide should be applied at alternate times with Vitamin C (ideally Vitamin C in the evening and Niacinamide in the morning). Niacinamide can affect the performance of Vitamin C.
Will Niacinamide treat my acne?While Niacinamide may reduce the look of blemishes and brighten skin tone, it is not a treatment for acne.  Please note that over-the-counter treatments are unlikely to be effective against severe acne.  For persistent acne-related conditions, we recommend speaking to your doctor regarding treatment options. This formulation can be used alongside acne treatments if desired for added visible skin benefits.  
Can I use Niacinamide if I have sensitive skin?Niacinamide generally considered as a gentle ingredient and typically well-tolerated. This means it can be used on many skin types and for a variety of concerns, including dryness, tightness and flakiness.  We do always suggest a patch test and allowing 48hrs first if you are prone to irritation. 
Does my body produce Niacinamide?Niacinamide is not produced naturally by the body, so in order to gain the benefits of niacinamide, you need to choose skincare products specifically formulated to include niacinamide.
Can I use Niacinamide when pregnant or breastfeeding?It is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding.  Please consult your physician prior to use if concerned. 
Is Niacinamide good for my oily skin?Niacinamide has been shown to regulate sebum (oil) activity, so yes, it is helpful for this.

I really love this serum. Used overnight it works a treat and is the right viscosity to be virtually weightless but substantial enough to do add some TLC and not just disappear without a trace!

Thank you so much for sharing this great feedback – VH
Truly helps firm up my not so plump 50+ skin, the most remarkable ( and needed) results on eyelids, under eye area and 11s.
