If there’s one thing we love, it’s a multi-tasker ingredient and Niacinamide is exactly that. In this blog we will tell you all about the benefits of Niacinamide. A widely used and trusted ingredient in the skincare industry.

What is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin also known as Vitamin B3. It’s a nutrient that our skin readily recognizes and efficiently absorbs from skincare to deliver an entourage of skin-changing benefits. The best part is that it’s suited to almost all skin types & skin concerns!

What does Niacinamide do?

Niacinamide stimulates the production of ceramides and free fatty acids, which are natural lipids in the skin. An important factor here is the skin barrier, something we talk about a lot, fatty acids prevent moisture loss from the skin. Thanks to its very mild exfoliating effect, niacinamide also helps prevent flakiness of the skin. When using Niacinamide on a daily basis you can notice smoother, more radiant skin.

Niacinamide also calms the skin, and that makes this skincare ingredient so suitable for people with irritated, inflamed, red or rosacea skin. Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties.

A flawless complexion

The skin is targeted in so many ways with Niacinamide and Niacinamide is renowned for improving the skin’s overall complexion. Applying skincare with Niacinamide daily (AM & PM) will leave your skin brighter, clearer & more radiant. That sounds amazing right?
