A form of vitamin B3 with years of dermatological research behind it. It works on tone, texture and the skin barrier, and it is the active behind four STARSKIN® face masks.
Vitamin B3 for a more even tone, refined texture and a stronger-looking skin barrier, and the four STARSKIN® face masks that carry it.
Four formulas where niacinamide leads, and more where it supports the blend.
Led by Niacinamide
Niacinamide and a botanical blend in a cooling bio-cellulose mask, for skin that looks luminous and even.
Evening primrose and niacinamide in a rich, non-greasy serum, for skin that looks plumper and replenished.
Evening primrose and niacinamide in a refining serum, for skin that looks brighter and more even.
Pure camellia seed oil, then a niacinamide sheet mask with mulberry bark and peony root, for dull, dry skin that looks nourished.
Also with Niacinamide
PDRN, collagen and hyaluronic acid in a melting hydrogel, with niacinamide in the supporting blend, for skin that looks dewy and plump.
Green caviar and collagen in a melting hydrogel, with niacinamide in the supporting blend, for skin that looks smoother and more supported.
Kudzu root and niacinamide in a 7-in-1 toner pad that exfoliates, hydrates and smooths in seconds.
Hyaluronic acid in a cooling bio-cellulose lip mask, with niacinamide in the supporting blend, for lips that look fuller and feel softer.
Vitamin B3 in a form skin knows well. Here is what it is, what it supports and why it suits so many skin types.
Water-soluble, stable and easy for skin to work with.
Niacinamide is one of the active forms of vitamin B3. Skin uses it in the processes that keep it balanced and working well, which is why it appears in so many formulas, from serums to niacinamide face masks.
On some ingredient lists, it appears as nicotinamide.
Skin that holds on to moisture looks and feels smoother.
Research links niacinamide to higher levels of ceramides and fatty acids, the lipids that make up the skin barrier, helping reduce the moisture skin loses through the day. The result is skin that feels more comfortable and looks more resilient.
Not sure where yours stands? Here are the signs of a damaged barrier.
Effective without the irritation of stronger actives.
Unlike retinoids or exfoliating acids, niacinamide is generally well tolerated, which makes it easy to pair with other ingredients and easy to build into your routine.
For very sensitive or allergic skin, a patch test is always recommended.
Good to Know
For skin that could use a more even tone, a smoother texture and a calmer, stronger-looking barrier.
Suitable for all skin types. Each mask pairs niacinamide with its own signature ingredients, so check the full ingredient list if you have known sensitivities. Not for use on damaged skin.
Niacinamide is only part of the story. In our bio-cellulose masks, it is carried in a rich, non-water based serum, then held against your skin by a sheet made to let it go.
Most skincare starts with water. Our bio-cellulose niacinamide masks start with botanical extracts instead: coconut in After Party™, evening primrose in The Gold Mask™ and The Diamond Mask™. That base carries higher concentrations of vitamins and antioxidants, so the formula isn't diluted before it reaches your skin. It is part of the science behind our formulas.
Each sheet is 100% coconut bio-cellulose, naturally fermented into a fine, gel-like material. It adheres to the face like a second skin, with few folds or air pockets, keeping the concentrated serum against your skin for the full 15 to 20 minutes. Here is why most skincare never gets that far.
Every bio-cellulose sheet is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and silicone-free, so it sits comfortably on reactive and blemish-prone skin. Every STARSKIN® formula is cruelty-free and made in Korea. Here is what clean skincare really means.
Rich yet non-greasy. After removing the mask, pat the remaining serum into your skin, no rinsing needed.
A rich serum, held where it counts.

How to Use
Tip: refrigerate the unopened sachet for 10 minutes before use to enhance the cooling effect.
Cleanse your face and pat dry.
Before opening, use your fingertips to spread the serum evenly through the sachet. Take out the mask, unfold it and remove the protective layers.
Smooth the mask over your entire face so there are few wrinkles or air pockets.
Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining serum into your skin. Do not rinse.
Use 1 to 2 times a week. For very sensitive or allergic skin, a patch test is recommended.
