Niacinamide reduces pigmentation spots, evens out your skin tone and strengthens your natural skin barrier.
Niacinamide is a special form of vitamin B3. Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is a water-soluble vitamin that fulfils a number of tasks in your body. It is involved in energy metabolism, supports the nervous system and can help reduce fatigue. Although your body can produce vitamin B3 itself, it must also be obtained from food. Good sources are fish, meat and mushrooms. But it's not just your body that benefits from it, your skin definitely does too.
Niacinamide is often used in cosmetics to improve various skin problems. It helps to strengthen your natural skin barrier by promoting the build-up of the skin's own ceramides - keeping your skin optimally moisturised. But that's not all: niacinamide increases collagen synthesis to give your skin more elasticity and reduce wrinkles. It even shows its true potential for blemished skin, as it balances sebum production. And even skin redness hardly stands a chance against niacinamide, as it simply slows down inflammatory messenger substances.
Numerous studies have proven the positive effects of niacinamide on the skin. It not only minimises wrinkles and protects against dehydration, but also specifically reduces pigmentation spots while reducing the production of melanin. Niacinamide also refines the skin's pores, helping to even out the complexion. This amazing active ingredient has therefore earned a permanent place in your skincare routine.
