— What is it?

A balancing ampule for visible pores, uneven texture, and oil-water imbalance.

Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of Vitamin B3 widely used in skin care for barrier care, tone balance, and oil-prone skin support. This ampule introduces a pore-control care concept for skin that appears visibly congested, uneven in texture, or less balanced due to excess sebum and surface buildup. Niacinamide is vitamin B3 support for barrier comfort, hydration balance, shine control, and smoother-looking pores.

Visible pore support

Helps frame the treatment around pores that look enlarged because of excess shine, uneven surface texture, congestion-prone areas, or loss of skin smoothness. Helps pores look smoother, cleaner, and less noticeable.

Oil-water balance

Supports a more balanced skin finish, especially for clients who feel oily on the surface but still experience dehydration, tightness, or dullness underneath. Helps oily yet dehydrated skin feel more balanced.

Refined skin texture

Best presented as a texture-refining and balancing ampule for a smoother, cleaner, less shiny complexion without making harsh acne-treatment claims. Supports a smoother, cleaner-looking complexion.

— How this ingredient works

A barrier‑led pore‑control pathway.

Niacinamide supports pore-prone skin by working through oil-water balance, barrier strength, visible shine control, and smoother surface refinement. Oil-water balance, barrier strength, shine control, and smoother-looking pores.

Why pores look larger

Oil, texture, and weak barrier

Pores look more visible when excess sebum, dehydration, rough surface buildup, and barrier stress make the skin appear shiny, uneven, or stretched.

Why Niacinamide helps

Balanced, clearer-looking skin

Niacinamide supports a healthier skin barrier and a more balanced oil-water environment, helping pores look less obvious without stripping the skin.

01

Sebum-balance logic

Niacinamide helps support healthier sebocyte activity, the skin cells involved in oil production. By helping regulate excess surface oil, it reduces the shiny, greasy buildup.

02

Barrier-strength logic

Niacinamide supports barrier lipids such as ceramides, which help the skin hold moisture and reduce water loss. When the barrier is stronger, skin feels less stressed, and less dehydrated.

03

Pore-visibility logic

Pores become more noticeable when oil buildup and uneven shedding stretch the pore lining, while dehydration makes the surrounding texture look rougher. Niacinamide supports oil balance and barrier hydration, helping pores look less enlarged, less shiny, and more refined.

04

Clear-surface logic

By supporting balance and comfort, the skin surface reflects light more evenly, making texture look smoother and the complexion look cleaner.

Why it suits pore concerns

Pore care is not only about drying oil. Skin also needs hydration, barrier comfort, and surface balance so pores appear less emphasized.

Balanced skin, not dry skin

Pore care works best when oil control is paired with barrier comfort. Niacinamide helps support this balance, leaving the skin clearer-looking without the dry, over-treated feeling.

In short: Niacinamide is good for visible pores because it supports sebum balance, barrier strength, hydration comfort, and smoother surface texture without stripping the skin.

Niacinamide Ingredient Research

Sebum balance, barrier support, hydration, texture, and visible pore refinement Sebum balance, barrier support, and smoother texture
Draelos et al., 2006

Niacinamide and facial sebum balance

This study evaluated topical 2% niacinamide and reported improvement in facial sebum-related measures. This supports careful wording around sebum balance, reduced shine, and a less oily-looking skin finish. Topical 2% niacinamide was linked with improved facial sebum balance.

Tanno et al., 2000

Niacinamide for barrier and hydration support

This study reported that topical niacinamide increased stratum corneum ceramide and free fatty acid levels and reduced transepidermal water loss in dry skin. For this ampule, it supports hydration balance, barrier comfort, and a smoother-looking surface. Topical niacinamide supported skin barrier lipids and reduced moisture loss.

Research Summary? Niacinamide research supports its use in formulas focused on sebum balance, barrier support, hydration comfort, smoother-looking texture, and visible pore refinement. These findings make niacinamide a strong fit for skin that appears shiny, rough, dehydrated, or uneven in texture. Keep the message focused on shine balance, pore refinement, texture, and hydration comfort.
— Delivery method

Microneedling(MTS)

A clearer way to help active ampoules reach the skin.

Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels on the skin surface. This helps selected ampoules absorb more effectively while encouraging the skin’s natural renewal response — useful when the goal is refined texture, pores, glow, and early-aging support.

01

Creates micro-channels

Creates tiny pathways on the skin’s surface, helping prepare the skin for more focused ampoule absorption.

02

Guides ampoule delivery

Allows the selected ampoule to reach the skin more effectively, targeting areas that need extra support.

03

Supports visible renewal

Encourages the skin’s natural renewal response, helping texture look smoother, fuller, and more refined over time.

Good to know: Temporary redness, warmth, sensitivity, or light flaking can occur after treatment. The depth, ampoule choice, and aftercare are adjusted according to the client’s skin condition and sensitivity.

Choose the right delivery method for your skin

Niacinamide can be applied through two INKO delivery methods: Microcurrent for gentle, non-invasive infusion, or microneedling for more targeted ingredient delivery and visible skin-renewal support.
