What is the Nicotinamide?
Nicotinamide has established medical uses to treat conditions stemming from niacin deficiency such as pellagra. Oral and topical formulations are used to treat a variety of inflammatory skin conditions including acne vulgaris and rosacea hyperpigmentation and to prevent hair thinning.
What is the difference between Nicotionamide and Niacinamide?
Nicotinamide and niacinamide are the same compounds, both being a form of vitamin B3 (niacin). The name “niacinamide” is simply a more common term used in the context of skincare, while “nicotinamide” is used more broadly.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Nicotinamide and niacinamide are chemically identical, both being the amide form of nicotinic acid (another name for niacin).
Niacinamide is frequently used in skincare products for its benefits like improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and minimizing pores.
Nicotinamide is used in oral supplements to prevent and treat vitamin B3 deficiency and related conditions.
- Unlike niacin, nicotinamide (or niacinamide) does not cause the characteristic “niacin flush” (temporary reddening of the skin).
