Niapazin gel 30g

Niapazin Gel is a topical skincare gel marketed for oily/acne-prone skin. It combines active ingredients that aim to regulate sebum (oil) production, minimise pores, reduce inflammation and blemish-causing bacteria, and help even skin tone (hyper-pigmentation). 

According to product listings, the “basic” formulation includes:

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) 10%  
• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) 5%  
• Zinc PCA 1% 
  Some versions are labelled with SPF (e.g., “SPF 50+”) which include additional UV-filter ingredients. 

Uses / What it’s meant for

Based on the marketing information, Niapazin Gel is used for:

• Controlling excess oil / sebum production on the skin.  
• Minimising the appearance of large pores.  
• Reducing inflammation and bacteria involved in blemishes/acne.  
• Improving uneven skin tone / hyperpigmentation associated with blemishes.  
• Strengthening the skin barrier / supporting skin immunity in the context of oily/acne-prone skin.  

How to Use

General instructions from product pages:

• Cleanse the skin gently and pat dry.  
• Apply a thin layer of Niapazin Gel to the affected area or full face (depending on usage) once or twice daily (day and/or night) as tolerated.  
• If using version with SPF (morning use), apply after cleansing and before sun exposure.  
• For optimal layering: typically apply after lighter serums and before heavier creams (if you use them) — but always follow product or clinician instructions.
• Use consistently over weeks to see visible changes (pores, oil, tone) — most topical skincare actives require time.

Key Active Ingredients & Their Role

• Niacinamide (10%): Known to regulate oil, improve barrier function, reduce redness, improve skin tone.
• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5, 5%): Supports skin healing, barrier repair, may reduce inflammation.
• Zinc PCA (1%): Zinc salts can have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, beneficial in oily/acne-prone skin.
  These ingredients in concert are intended to address multiple concerns: oiliness, pore size, blemishes, skin tone.

Considerations / Warnings

• Although the brand suggests uses for oily/acne prone skin, this product appears marketed as cosmetic/skincare rather than prescription medication (i.e., not labelled as a “drug” for treating medical acne per se).
• Because it contains active ingredients at moderate to high concentrations (10% niacinamide is relatively strong), patch testing may be wise — especially if you have sensitive skin.
• Avoid contact with eyes, lips, mucous membranes unless indicated.
• If irritated, stinging, burning or worsening skin appears, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
• If you use other active treatments (e.g., retinoids, exfoliating acids, benzoyl peroxide), layering must be done carefully to avoid over-irritation.
• Sun protection: If you have oily/acne prone skin and are using actives, always use broad spectrum SPF in the daytime — important especially if formulation doesn’t include SPF.
• If version has SPF (e.g., “SPF 50+”), it still may be beneficial to layer with conventional sunscreen as product layering guidelines advise.
• Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / Specific skin conditions: You should consult your dermatologist/doctor before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, have eczema, rosacea, or other skin conditions.

Effectiveness & Evidence

• The ingredients (niacinamide, zinc, vitamin B5) are supported by dermatologic literature for improving skin barrier, reducing oil production, and improving mild acne/blemishes.
• However, I did not find independent peer-reviewed clinical trials specifically for “Niapazin Gel” brand product in the sources I checked — most information comes from product marketing pages.
• As with all topical skincare, results will vary based on skin type, compliance, other skin-care regimen, diet/lifestyle, and severity of skin concerns.
