Niacinamide

Summary

Vitamin B3 that helps balance oil, refine pores, and even the look of tone.

Balance in the formula

Niacinamide sits in our formulas for one job: evening the look of tone. We file it under Brightening in this glossary because that is the effect its evidence actually supports, not because it is the most flattering label available.

Balance in the pore

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Balance in the evidence

Our source is a peer reviewed randomized controlled trial, recorded as Hakozaki 2002 PMID 12100180. You can read it yourself at PubMed 12100180. We grade that as solid support for what the ingredient does.

Balance and its limits

The research behind Niacinamide studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It supports what Niacinamide does. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
