Quick answer: Niacinamide, or Vitamin B3, is a versatile active that may reduce the look of enlarged pores and excess shine while supporting the skin barrier. It suits many South Asian skin types when introduced carefully, but it cannot permanently shrink pores or guarantee results.
Niacinamide can support routines focused on shine, dullness, uneven-looking tone, post-acne marks, and barrier comfort. Choose an authentic product, patch test, introduce it gradually, and use sunscreen.
Benefits of Niacinamide
- May support barrier comfort and ceramide-related lipid function
- May improve the appearance of excess shine
- May make visible pores look less noticeable
- May support the appearance of uneven tone and post-acne marks
It is not a permanent pore-closing product, guaranteed acne cure, or skin-bleaching ingredient.
