What is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a highly popular ingredient in dermatology and cosmetics due to its numerous benefits. It helps reduce excess oil and prevents pore blockage and breakout formation.

It promotes cellular renewal and strengthens the skin barrier by increasing the production of ceramides, natural lipids that help maintain hydration and protection for smoother skin with fewer imperfections. This results in a more resilient skin that is less prone to sensitivity and irritation.

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that is naturally found in meats, fish, legumes, nuts, and whole grains. It is present in serums, moisturizers, lotions, and toners under the names "niacinamide" or "vitamin B3". It is a versatile ingredient that can be combined with other active ingredients to provide additional benefits. It pairs well with Vitamin C, as they are perfect allies for anti-aging.

 

Benefits:

 

Anti-Aging: Niacinamide supports collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

Moisturizing: It enhances the skin's natural moisture barrier, preventing water loss and maintaining hydration.

Antioxidant: Niacinamide combats oxidative stress, helping to prevent premature aging and maintain healthy skin.
