Everything you need to know about anti-aging powerhouse Niacinamide!
As skincare has become more popularized, many people have asked Dr. Karam what Niacinamide is, what the benefits of Niacinamide are, and whether or not they should be including it in their skincare routine. Niacinamide is Vitamin B3, and as an active skincare ingredient, it works at the cellular level to make true, biochemical changes to the skin. Niacinamide helps with skin hydration, calming redness, decreasing oil production and pore size, pigmentation and so much more! Honestly, Niacinamide is a powerhouse active ingredient that Dr. Karam recommends everyone include in their skincare regimen! As always, consistent use of this active ingredient, and pairing it with sunscreen will ensure that you are getting all the benefits Niacinamide has to offer! As an added bonus, Niacinamide is included in the KaramMD Skin Trifecta, which is a 3-step skincare regimen that makes nourishing your skin and preventing skin aging easy!

what about the skin around the eyes
Hello, Im a licensed Skin Therapist. Before I even look at this video I would like to comment that when I saw the thumbmail, it made me smile. The reason is that I love this guy. I've noticed more and more how he challenges convention and gets into the nitty and gritty. I've learned so much.
My husband has had several skin cancers removed…His Dermatologist recommended that he take ORALLY 1000 mg of niacinimide daily…..The research they were citing,showed that taking it orally will reduced the number of PRE- CANCEROUS LESIONS BY 25%……

My husband visits the dermatologist every 6 months, and has done so for 20 years. Almost every time he has some basal or squamous cell cancer removed. He has had MOHS surgery twice. Two years ago, his doctor recommended he start taking oral niacinimide. It has now been two years since he has had any skin cancers. Although his experience might be considered anecdotal, it is consistent with the research.

Love how you explain everything with so much detail.
I’m so glad you covered Niacinamide so extensively. There isn’t this kind of deep dive out there!
Prefect timing! I just bought some last week. Thanks doc.
Would love an in-depth video on your polish enzymatic exfoliating powder. I LOVE how it makes my skin look.
I love Dr. Karam's videos. I trust his knowledge. I use Niacinamide too, but I think I need to be more consistent with it. I do like it.
Great video, have been adding this to my lotions and it's made an amazing difference in the hydration and suppleness.
I am an RN. Thank you for this educational video. I have been using this once a day and will increase it to twice a day.
Thank you dr.karam! I really enjoyed your on depth video about niacinemide. Thank you for your time!!
This was incredibly helpful and keeps me motivated to continue with my skin care. Sending you love, light and appreciation. 💜
Thank you for all the education you’ve provided us! It occurs to me that I think of hydrating and moisturizing as the same thing, but realizing it is not. Would love to hear your thoughts on how the two work together. Thank you!
Niacinamide is probably my favorite skincare active. I’ve used it in serum form for years, first in La Roche Posay’s Pigmentclar (now d/c’d 😢) and now in their 10% Niacinamide serum. It has refined/ minimized my pores and is the only ingredient that has had a significant impact on my hyperpigmentation/sun spots. Thank you, Dr. Karam , for emphasizing consistency and long term use. I found it took me about 4-6 weeks of daily use before I could see my sun spots fading. I had one spot that even makeup wouldn’t cover and now, years later, it continues to break up into smaller parts and lighter parts so I barely notice it anymore. My overall skin clarity is so much better when I use it, I never want to be without it. Ive tried other products for hyperpigmentation like vitamin c (I do still use it) and tranexamic acid and alpha arbutin without real results. Niacinamide is my skincare hero!❤

I have such oily skin! Even the most matte products can't hide it for more than a few hours. I used to have normal skin when I was younger, but now that I'm 42 my skin is so oily. Luckily I have no acne issues, but I have noticed my 10% niacinimide really slows down the oil production. It's amazingly helpful!

Hi Dr Karam ! I truly enjoy your educational videos on skincare and aging gracefully. After watching many of your videos I’d like your opinion on Clarins Double Serum, would you say this is a product to have in my anti aging arsenal or just a pretty bottle full of fluff ? Thank you in advance and I look forward to your reply.
Dr Amir you're amazing
I just ordered this a couple of days ago I can't wait to see the results
Thank you for all of the information that you share. I do use Niacinamide and I definitely see a difference. I am 76 and I think I am doing pretty well for my age. Also, I scrub my face every morning and then use my creamy cleanser. At the end of my shower, I turn off the hot water and rinse my face and body in really cold water and my face feels uplifted and bright.

Can you tell me if Niacinamide actually helped you with fine lines and wrinkles??
I took a Niacin tablet, disolved it in water and rubbed it on my face. It turned my face really red. Then I applied some aloe Vera and the next day my skin looked great.
I put Niacinamide serum on every day, plus it's in my sunscreen, Elta MD.
Hello Dr Karam, thanks for the useful information! Can I apply niacinamide under my eyes, or is it too dry-ing?
I agree it’s all about his products. I want his professional opinion on other products as well.
This is so informative, thank you. Please talk about Glutathione supplements on skin

Hi doctor! I love you 💕
Ponds Clarant B3 cream worked very well at removing dark spots & you can't find any products w/ 5% B3 ( niacinimide) that costs less. Safe for under eye circles & works faster than the eye creams I've tried.

The only concern is percentage. Some board-certified dermatologists like dr Shereene Idriss do not recommend more then 5% since it can cause irritation.

You should rotate vitamin C with Niacinimide. For example, use Vitamin C during the day and the other at night. This will help to avoid irritation.

Hi. Tretinoin is a retinoic acid, a very strong form of retinol, and in the Vitamin A family. Dr. Karam says it is an absolute must in the skincare regimen. I have used Tretinoin .5 strength at night for several years. So yep, you should be using Tretinoin every night on cleansed, DRY skin…don’t apply to damp skin or you could experience an unpleasant reaction. Hope that helps a bit.

How should you use niacinamide in conjunction with your daily skincare routine? What are the steps? Can you use it with retinol products?
@dramirkaram I have been on Trifecta for 6 months and while it is great for most of my face, the pores on my nose are as large as ever and I can squeeze stuff out of them every day - even within days after getting a facial/extraction. What do you recommend for this isolated issue? I am about to be 53.
Does it do anything for elasticity? Tighten at all?? Ty
I just saw my GP today, she suggested a NAD IV infusion. Would this form of niacinamide work from the inside for the skin? Anti-Aging was not the reason she suggested the IV infusion but would this form have any effects on the skin? Thanks!
In previous videos you have recommended that retinol be used at night and vitamin C in the day. Can Niacinamide be used at the same time as either retinol or vitamin C, as it is recommended to be used both morning and night?

Hello Dr. I have a question? Where are your skin products manufactured?
Kiehl's is my personal favorite!
I love how Niacinamide is much milder to the skin and less prone to irritation (versus Ascorbic Acid) but what I don't like is that there can be a build up of white powdery product around the openings of the containers especially with higher percentages like 10%.
Can you please do a video on peptides.
Do you get the same benefits from niacinamide taken orally?
Niacinamide is legit. I use the Ordinary brand.
