Niacinamide
Wrinkles, sagging skin? Dark spots? Breakouts? Niacinamide takes them all on!
Niacinamide works its magic by stimulating collagen under the skin and has many other exciting functions and benefits described below.
- Regulation of Oil Production: Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production, making it beneficial for both oily and acne-prone skin. It can help minimize excess oiliness and reduce the occurrence of breakouts.
- Improved Skin Texture: Niacinamide can promote smoother and more even skin texture by stimulating collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.
- Brightening and Even Skin Tone: It can help fade hyper-pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone by inhibiting the transfer of melanin to the skin's surface. This makes niacinamide effective for achieving a more radiant and balanced complexion.
- Enhanced Skin Barrier Function: Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier by boosting the production of ceramides, fatty acids, and other essential components. This strengthens the skin's protective barrier, improving its ability to retain moisture and defend against environmental stressors.
- Anti-Inflammatory and Soothing Effects: Niacinamide possesses anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm redness, irritation, and inflammation in the skin, making it beneficial for those with sensitive or reactive skin.
- Minimized Skin Aging: By improving skin elasticity and firmness, niacinamide can help minimize the signs of aging, such as sagging skin and loss of elasticity.
