Niacinamide for sagging skin: how to use it and what to expect

If this is your concern, Niacinamide is one of the most evidence-backed options out there.

What is Niacinamide

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) strengthens the skin barrier, regulates sebum and evens out tone.

How Niacinamide helps for sagging skin

Sagging occurs when the skin's support structure weakens and the contour blurs. Niacinamide approaches the problem from a different angle: niacinamide (vitamin B3) strengthens the skin barrier, regulates sebum and evens out tone. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for sagging skin.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply niacinamide to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions

Well tolerated by almost everyone, though above 10% it may cause slight flushing. Collagen stimulation and device-based methods work best in combination.
