Niacinamide & Glycolic Acid: The Power Duo Your Skin Has Been Waiting For

Niacinamide & Glycolic Acid: The Power Duo Your Skin Has Been Waiting For

we believe in simplifying skincare by blending dermatological science with natural, gentle ingredients. Two such ingredients — Niacinamide and Glycolic Acid — have become true skincare heroes for Indian skin. When used correctly, they can rejuvenate, refine, and visibly transform your skin.

 

💡 What is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a multi-functional skincare superstar:

  • Reduces dark spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Strengthens the skin barrier
  • Controls excess oil
  • Minimizes the appearance of pores
  • Calms inflammation and acne

✨ What is Glycolic Acid?
Glycolic Acid is a type of AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) derived from sugarcane. It:

  • Gently exfoliates dead skin cells
  • Unclogs pores
  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Smoothens skin texture
  • Helps reduce fine lines and pigmentation

🔬 Why They Work So Well Together
Together, Niacinamide and Glycolic Acid are a perfect balance of exfoliation and repair:

  • Glycolic acid clears the path by removing dead skin cells.
  • Niacinamide comes in to soothe, hydrate, and strengthen the newly revealed skin.

Used in a thoughtful formulation (like ours), they do not irritate the skin but instead brighten, clarify, and protect.

🧴 How to Use Them Safely
Start slow – Use Glycolic Acid-based products 2–3 times a week.

Apply Niacinamide after exfoliating to calm and protect.

Never skip sunscreen – AHAs make skin more sun-sensitive.
