If it really can’t be established, forget it. Especially for those with red bloodshot skin on their faces, it is better to stay away from niacinamide.

What is Niacinamide

Although the name of niacinamide sounds obscure, it is actually just a type of vitamin. When it comes to vitamins, everyone knows that they are good for our body and are divided into vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E, etc. B3 (niacinamide) is the most cosmetically effective vitamin among the B vitamins.

Causes of niacinamide intolerance

The reason why niacinamide intolerance occurs is mainly because niacinamide contains extremely small amounts of niacin. Therefore, when choosing products containing niacinamide, you must pay attention to the purity of niacinamide. The higher the purity, the lower the niacin content. In general, niacinamide is most stable in a solution with a pH of 6. In solutions with a pH above or below 6, it hydrolyzes to form niacin, which can cause skin irritation. Therefore, formulas containing niacinamide generally control the pH between 5 and 7 to reduce the formation of niacin. Therefore, when using products containing niacinamide, be careful not to mix them with products with an acidic pH.

What to do if you are intolerant to niacinamide

If your skin is intolerant to niacinamide, either give it up or build tolerance. But how can we who are keen on pursuing whitening give up easily? As we all know, some skin types may be intolerant to products containing niacinamide at first, but after building tolerance, niacinamide can still be used safely. If you experience slight irritation and redness when you first start using niacinamide, it is because our skin has not yet adapted to it, so it is a normal skin reaction. It is just like when we have been sleeping in the same bed for a long time and suddenly change to a new one, we will feel uncomfortable and suffer from insomnia. Moreover, our skin is relatively more delicate, so it is more likely to become uncomfortable.

When using it for the first time, apply a small amount of lotion behind the ears and wrists to observe whether any intolerance symptoms occur. If you are sure you have intolerance, you can reduce the dosage and apply it on a small area on your face for three to five days. If there are no adverse reactions, you can increase the dosage. If allergic reactions occur during this process, reduce the dosage or use it every other day. After observing for a few days, if the allergy is still severe, it is recommended to stop using niacinamide products. It takes about a week to build tolerance. If intolerance occurs within this week, reduce the dosage immediately to avoid skin damage.

Because skin whitening and brightening products are functional products, the content of active ingredients in them is higher than that of basic skin care products such as hydrating and moisturizing. Therefore, when you first start using functional products such as whitening, your skin will inevitably have a little stress reaction. Slight tingling and redness are normal. When you first start using it, don’t use too much. After your skin has gradually adapted, you can increase the dosage appropriately.
