Frequently Asked Questions

In which TSA products does Niacinamide appear and at what concentration?

3% Encapsulated Niacinamide appears in all three cleansers for oily, dry, and hypersensitive skin. In anti-acne serums, it appears at 3%, and in anti-acne creams at 5%. In all hypersensitive skin formulas across the three lines, Niacinamide at 5% acts as the main active ingredient, replacing Vitamin C.

Why is Niacinamide encapsulated in cleansers?

During cleansing, conventional active ingredients are diluted by water and go down the drain before they can act. Encapsulation protects Niacinamide until it penetrates the skin, ensuring that the 3% acts where it needs to, not in the sink.

What does encapsulated Niacinamide do in the cleanser for oily skin?

It sends signals to the pores to reduce excessive sebum production at the source, reducing oily shine without drying out the skin. The Purifying Hydrogel in the cleanser for oily skin also acts as an impurity magnet for a complete cleansing effect.

What does Niacinamide do in a cleanser for dry skin?

It stimulates the natural production of ceramides in the skin barrier while you cleanse, actively strengthening the barrier that is naturally weakened in dry skin.

What does Niacinamide do in cleanser for hypersensitive skin?

It blocks inflammatory signals that trigger redness and skin reactivity, so that skin is cleansed and calmed at the same time, without any irritating ingredients.

Why is Niacinamide used in formulas for hypersensitive skin instead of Vitamin C?

Vitamin C, even encapsulated, can cause irritation in very reactive skin. Niacinamide offers antioxidant, tone-regulating, and soothing benefits with a much superior tolerability profile, making it the most versatile and safe active ingredient for hypersensitive skin.

Is Niacinamide safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Niacinamide is one of the safest active ingredients in skincare and is suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We always recommend showing the full INCI list to your doctor.

Can Niacinamide be used on oily skin with acne?

Yes, that is precisely one of its main uses. In anti-acne serum and cream, Niacinamide regulates sebum, reduces active inflammation, and complements the work of Salicylic Acid and Nelpure for a complete anti-acne effect.

Niacinamide is the most versatile active ingredient in the TSA range and appears in more products than any other active ingredient, precisely because its benefits cover almost all skin types and concerns. It regulates sebum in oily skin, strengthens ceramides in dry skin, blocks inflammatory signals in hypersensitive skin, reduces inflammation in acne, and evens out skin tone in skin with blemishes. All this with an exceptional tolerability profile that makes it the go-to active ingredient for reactive skin.

At The Spanish Alchemist, 3% Encapsulated Niacinamide is the active ingredient present in all three cleansers in our range. Encapsulation solves the stability problem that conventional Niacinamide has during washing, where water dilutes the active before it can penetrate. Encapsulated, it reaches the skin intact and acts where it needs to.

In the Bye Breakouts line, Niacinamide appears at 3% in the serum along with 2% Salicylic Acid and 2% Nelpure, and at 5% in the cream with 2% Nelpure, forming the most complete anti-acne system in our range. In all formulas for hypersensitive skin, 5% Niacinamide acts as the main active ingredient, replacing Vitamin C, offering antioxidant and tone-regulating benefits with maximum tolerability.
