How to Use Niacinamide for Glowing Skin – Pakistani Skincare Guide

? Introduction

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, has become a must-have ingredient in skincare routines across Pakistan. Whether you're battling dull skin, acne marks, or uneven tone caused by sun exposure, niacinamide can help transform your complexion.

In this guide, Lusteric will walk you through how to use niacinamide serum properly, what to expect, and the best tips for Pakistani skin types and climate.

✅ Benefits of Niacinamide for Skin

Niacinamide offers multiple skin benefits that are especially effective in humid and polluted environments like Pakistan:

• Reduces acne marks and dark spots

• Minimizes enlarged pores

• Controls oil production (perfect for oily/combination skin)

• Boosts skin hydration

• Improves skin barrier against UV and pollution

• Evens out dull or patchy skin tone

? When and How to Use Niacinamide in Your Routine

1. Cleanse First

Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and oil. This preps your skin for better serum absorption.

Recommended: Lusteric Hydrating Gel Cleanser

2. Apply Niacinamide Serum

• Take 2-3 drops of Lusteric Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum

• Gently pat it onto clean, dry skin—morning and night

• Let it absorb for 30–60 seconds before applying moisturizer

3. Moisturize

Follow with a hydrating moisturizer to lock in benefits.

Recommended: Lusteric Hyaluronic Gel Moisturizer

4. Sunscreen is a Must (Daytime Only)

Niacinamide strengthens your skin, but it doesn’t protect from the sun—always use sunscreen during the day.

Use: SPF 50 broad-spectrum sunblock ideal for Pakistani summers

? What to Avoid With Niacinamide?

Avoid using Vitamin C serums at the same time unless your product is specially formulated to combine both. If using both, alternate between AM and PM routines.
