Frequently Asked Questions

Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a multi-tasking skincare ingredient that helps support overall skin health while addressing a wide range of concerns. Suitable for most skin types, niacinamide is known for strengthening the skin barrier, improving hydration and promoting a more balanced, even-looking complexion.

Regular use can help improve skin tone, minimise the appearance of pores and support healthier-looking skin. It also works well alongside ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to target multiple skin concerns within the same routine.

Yes. During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal fluctuations can contribute to dryness, uneven skin tone, enlarged-looking pores and a weakened skin barrier. Niacinamide helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve moisture retention and support a healthier-looking complexion.

With consistent use, it can also help improve skin clarity and reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone and visible pores associated with hormonal skin changes.

During menopause, the skin barrier can become less effective at retaining moisture, leaving skin feeling drier and more sensitive. Niacinamide helps reinforce the skin barrier while improving hydration, comfort and overall skin resilience.

It may also help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and dullness, making it a valuable addition to a skincare routine for hormonally changing skin.

Yes, niacinamide can help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, dark spots and discolouration, making it a popular ingredient for achieving a brighter, more balanced-looking complexion.

During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can contribute to pigmentation and dullness. Niacinamide works well alongside brightening ingredients such as vitamin C and tranexamic acid, while daily SPF helps reduce the risk of further discolouration.

Yes, niacinamide and retinol are often used together because they complement one another. Retinol helps improve visible signs of ageing, while niacinamide supports the skin barrier and helps reduce the dryness that can occur when introducing retinoids.

This combination is particularly useful during perimenopause and menopause, when skin may be experiencing reduced firmness, uneven skin tone and increased sensitivity. Introduce retinol gradually and wear SPF during the day.

Niacinamide is generally gentle enough for daily use and can typically be applied once or twice a day, depending on the product and your skincare routine. Because it is well tolerated by most skin types, it can be incorporated into both morning and evening routines.

Consistent use helps support the skin barrier, improve hydration and maintain a smoother, more even-looking complexion, making it well suited to skin experiencing hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause.

Murad's niacinamide skincare helps improve skin clarity while supporting a stronger, healthier-looking skin barrier. Products such as Biome-Balancing Clear & Prevent Blemish Treatment Serum help balance blemish-prone skin, while Clarifying Water Gel delivers lightweight hydration to help control excess oil without leaving skin feeling dry. Barrier-supporting formulas including Cellular Hydration Barrier Repair Cream also help replenish moisture while improving overall skin comfort.

As skin changes during perimenopause and menopause, niacinamide can help address concerns such as dryness, uneven skin tone, enlarged-looking pores and reduced barrier function. It also pairs well with ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol and hyaluronic acid, making it easy to build a routine that targets multiple skin concerns while supporting healthier-looking skin.
