Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is the most forgiving "do-it-all" active: it controls oil, minimises the look of pores, fades post-acne marks, strengthens the barrier and rarely irritates. For Bangladesh's oily-and-humid reality, it's often the best first serum to add after sunscreen.

How to choose
- 5% is the sweet spot for most people; 10% for very oily skin that tolerates it. Higher isn't better and can cause flushing.
- Look for added zinc (controls oil) or hyaluronic acid (hydration).
- Fragrance-free is ideal for acne-prone skin.
- Texture: a light, fast-absorbing serum layers well under moisturiser and sunscreen.

How to use it
Morning or night, after cleansing (and after a water-based toner if you use one), before moisturiser. It pairs safely with almost everything — vitamin C, retinol, acids — which is why it's such an easy add. Start daily; most people tolerate it from day one.
Common mistakes
- Chasing high percentages (15–20%) and getting flushing for no extra benefit.
- Expecting overnight results — pores and marks improve over 4–8 weeks.
- Skipping moisturiser and sunscreen on top — niacinamide is a supporting act, not a full routine.
- Buying unverified serums that may be under-dosed or fake.
