Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is the most versatile active in Indian skincare. It controls oil production, fades dark marks, strengthens the moisture barrier, and plays well with almost every other ingredient. If you can only add one active to your routine, this is the one. Read the full niacinamide guide for the science.
The sweet spot for most people is 2-5%. Higher concentrations (10%) work for very oily skin but can irritate sensitive types. Below is every niacinamide product we found across 16 Indian skincare brands.

What concentration do you need?
Niacinamide works across a wide concentration range. More is not always better. Here is what we recommend based on skin type.
2%
Sensitive skin
Barrier repair without irritation. Good starting point if your skin reacts to everything. Often found in moisturizers rather than standalone serums.
5%
Most people
The research-backed sweet spot. Controls oil, fades marks, strengthens barrier. This is the concentration most studies use and recommend.
10%
Oily skin
Stronger oil control for genuinely oily skin. Can cause redness or flaking if your barrier is compromised. Not necessary for most people.
