I have sensitive skin. What should I know about the niacinamide in this cream?

Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a common skincare ingredient included in this cream for its potential to improve the look of uneven tone, visible pores, and rough texture over time. For most people, niacinamide is well-tolerated, but if you have sensitive skin, it's wise to introduce any product containing it gradually. Start by using the cream once a day, perhaps in the evening, and observe how your skin responds over several days. If you notice any redness, stinging, or irritation, reduce the frequency or stop use and consult a dermatologist. It's also advisable to avoid combining niacinamide at the same time with too many other strong actives, such as high-strength acids (glycolic, salicylic) or retinoids, especially if your skin is already irritated. You can use them at different times of the day or on alternate days, but if you are new to niacinamide, keep your routine simple. The formula also contains aloe vera, which is often used for its soothing properties, and sodium hyaluronate, a humectant that helps maintain skin moisture. If you have a known allergy to any of these ingredients, check the full ingredient list before use. As with any cosmetic, avoid the eye area and stop use if your skin reacts poorly. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a chronic skin condition, consult a specialist before adding a new product to your routine.
