Everything You Need To Know About Niacinamide

We have just launched our new Vitamin B Serum and we’re excited to talk all things Niacinamide. Nia-what? What is it? Why is it a wonder ingredient? How does it improve my skin? These are the questions you’ve been typing into Google, making this one of the most searched ingredients of 2020. Let us answer you below! TLDR? The short version is that it takes your skin from feeling so-so to sensational.

 

WHAT IS NIACINAMIDE?

Also known as Vitamin B3 and Nicotinamide, it’s an essential nutrient or water-soluble vitamin that works with the natural elements in your skin to help diminish dullness and strengthen a weakened skin barrier amongst many other benefits listed below. It’s important to note, this active is highly tolerable which means you can layer it on skin in a few different treatments such as a serum and a moisturiser. It also works smoothly alongside other actives such as Retinol, Vitamin A, C and E, Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides and other antioxidants which makes it easy to slip into any current regime. Tick, tick, tick!

 

 

HOW DOES IT BENEFIT SKIN?

There are many benefits. We think the key ones to highlight are skin barrier fortification (which means healthier-looking complexions), increases epidermal turnover (aka a more youthful-looking complexion), brightens and evens out skin tone, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and regulates the skin’s oil production. It also helps renew and rejuvenate – the two words most of us are searching for in their skin care at this time of year. Niacinamide helps restores the surface of the skin through elevating hydration and moisture levels by improving natural production of ceramides. Another hyper-Googled skin term! We know there are many benefit boxes being ticked, but that’s the reason why this active ingredient is on everyone’s lips and hidden in everyone’s bathroom vanity.
