Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3 and Nicotinamide, has many skincare benefits. Firstly, it regulates sebum production in the skin, which in turn reduces blemishes and visible pore size. It also reduces facial redness by improving microcirculation, which means moving the blood inside the capillaries away from the face to reduce visible redness. It also has the ability to strengthen the natural lipid barrier of the skin by encouraging ceramide production (the building blocks which seal our skin cells together), which in turn increases the hydration within the epidermis. Lastly, niacinamide works to help reduce hyperpigmentation by blocking melanin from being deposited on the skin cells.
Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3 or nicotinamide, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in skincare due to its numerous benefits for the skin.
Niacinamide offers benefits such as: - Improves skin hydration by reinforcing the skin's natural barrier function, reducing water loss, and maintaining moisture levels. - Helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and regulates sebum production, making it beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. - Enhances skin texture by promoting collagen production, leading to a smoother and more even skin tone. - Has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm and soothe irritated or red skin. - Can assist in reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, promoting a more even complexion.
