In the ever-evolving world of skincare, some ingredients stand the test of time - and science. Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is one of them. Backed by dermatologists and loved by skincare enthusiasts, it’s a powerhouse that does everything from calming redness to refining pores. In this blog, we’re diving into what niacinamide is, why it deserves a place in your daily routine, and how Bloc’s Pro-B Serum brings it to life alongside complementary actives for visible results.

What is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that’s water-soluble and easily absorbed by the skin. It plays a crucial role in skin barrier function, cell renewal, and maintaining even skin tone. Unlike stronger actives like retinol or exfoliating acids, niacinamide is gentle, making it suitable for almost every skin type - including sensitive or breakout-prone skin.

The Benefits of Niacinamide

Whether you're struggling with dullness, breakouts, or pigmentation, niacinamide delivers noticeable improvements with consistent use. Its key benefits include:

• Strengthens the skin barrier: Helps your skin retain moisture and fend off environmental stressors.
• Reduces redness and inflammation: Ideal for those with rosacea or acne.
• Minimises the appearance of pores: Visibly tightens pores and controls sebum production.
• Improves uneven skin tone: Fades hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks.
• Boosts overall skin resilience: Leaves skin looking smoother, more even, and healthy.

Ingredient Spotlight: Bloc’s Pro-B Serum

Bloc’s Pro-B Serum is more than just a niacinamide serum. It’s a multi-functional formula designed to hydrate, calm and strengthen skin with a carefully curated blend of supporting ingredients.

Hero Ingredients:

• Niacinamide: Works to refine skin texture, brighten tone and regulate oil.
• Acetyl Glucosamine: A gentle exfoliating sugar-derived compound that supports cell turnover and brightening.
• Triple-Weight Hyaluronic Acid Complex: Hydrates multiple layers of skin for long-lasting plumpness.
• Peptides (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4): Supports collagen production and skin firmness.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to create a calming, balancing serum ideal for daily use - especially for sensitive, dull or unbalanced skin types.

How to Use Bloc's Pro-B Serum

Apply 1–2 pumps to freshly cleansed skin, morning or night, before your moisturiser. It layers seamlessly with hydrating serums, vitamin C, and even exfoliants - just avoid applying directly after strong acids to prevent irritation.
