ACTIVE INGREDIENTS · NIACINAMIDE B3

One ingredient. Four concerns addressed at once.

Niacinamide is the rare active that addresses tone, barrier, pore appearance, and redness in a single formula. At 5%, it visibly improves uneven pigmentation. At 10%, it supports ceramide synthesis and barrier function. At all concentrations, it calms reactive redness and reduces the visible size of enlarged pores. OVESSI serums featuring niacinamide pair it with barrier actives so the skin receives both the correction and the support it needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Niacinamide questions

Can niacinamide be used alongside vitamin C?
Yes. The concern that niacinamide and vitamin C form an ineffective compound was based on early and limited research. Modern formulations at stable pH levels and appropriate concentrations show no significant interaction. Many OVESSI formulas use both in the same ritual with positive results.
What is the right concentration of niacinamide for my concern?
For tone and pigmentation concerns, 5% is well evidenced. For barrier support and pore refinement, 2% to 5% shows consistent results. Concentrations above 10% offer diminishing returns and increase the likelihood of flushing in reactive skin. OVESSI niacinamide formulas sit in the 5% range for the best balance of efficacy and tolerance.
Can I use niacinamide morning and evening?
Yes. Niacinamide is stable, non-photosensitising, and well tolerated twice daily. It is one of the most suitable actives for all-day, year-round use without the restriction of specific timing or seasonal breaks.
Does niacinamide work for oily skin?
Yes. One of niacinamide’s well-established effects is the regulation of sebum production over time. Consistent use at 5% for four or more weeks has shown a measurable reduction in sebum output. In the OVESSI 28-Day Study, 87% of 68 participants saw visible improvement across a range of skin types, including oily skin.
