NIACINAMIDE: A MULTI-TASKING ACTIVE INGREDIENT

In recent years, niacinamide has established itself as one of the most versatile and popular active ingredients in modern skincare. Loved by dermatologists and beauty professionals alike, it is capable of addressing a wide range of skin concerns.

NIACINAMIDE: WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT’S USED FOR AND ITS BENEFITS

Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3 or nicotinamide, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the proper functioning of the skin. When incorporated into cosmetic products, it has a balancing and protective effect, visibly improving the quality of the skin.

It works in several ways:
• supports the skin’s barrier function;
• combats transepidermal water loss (TEWL);
• helps regulate sebum production.

Also suitable for sensitive and intolerant skin.

Thanks to its high versatility, niacinamide is used in numerous dermocosmetic formulations, from anti-ageing and anti-dark spot treatments to soothing and balancing products, adapting to the skin’s various needs.

PROTECTS AND STRENGTHENS THE SKIN BARRIER

Niacinamide stimulates the synthesis of ceramides and lipids, which are essential for the structure of the skin barrier. This results in skin that is more resistant to external factors, less prone to dehydration and better protected against environmental stressors.

SOOTHES REDNESS AND SKIN IRRITATION

Thanks to its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, niacinamide is particularly suitable for sensitive skin prone to redness or irritation. It reduces skin discomfort and helps restore balance.

ENHANCES BRIGHTNESS AND EVENS OUT THE COMPLEXION

One of the most appreciated benefits is its ability to improve the appearance of the complexion. Niacinamide helps to reduce discolouration and dark spots, leaving the skin looking more even and radiant. It also helps to minimise the appearance of enlarged pores and smooth the skin’s texture.
