What is niacinamide?
Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide or niacin, is one of the major forms of vitamin B3, an essential vitamin required by the human body to maintain healthy skin.
What does niacinamide do for the skin ?
Niacinamide has many beneficial properties for the skin, including helping to strengthen the skin moisture barrier to reduce Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL). Niacinamide can also help to soothe the skin, and help improve the appearance of lines, wrinkles and pigmentation.
What are the benefits of niacinamide for your skin?
Niacinamide has been shown to have anti-aging effects and can help build proteins in the skin and prevent moisture loss, protecting skin from environmental damage. A study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science showed that niacinamide could significantly improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Niacinamide is an anti-aging ingredient since it boosts the skin’s barrier function. This can help prevent transepidermal water loss and boost the ceramides and fatty acids within the skin.
Niacinamide helps improve skin pore appearance as the skin’s natural oil is produced by sebaceous glands on the face, neck, and upper chest. Niacinamide can be beneficial in oily skin types.
