Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 found in many serums and creams. People often use it to help with the look of enlarged pores, uneven tone and oily or blemish-prone skin.

Start with a lower-frequency routine, such as every other day, and watch how your skin responds. Apply it on clean skin before a moisturizer. If you have very sensitive skin, patch test first.
