he benefits of niacinamide in skincare

 

Skin Supporting Niacinamide…

 

- is an active form of vitamin B3

- is pH balanced and non-irritating

- is antimicrobial so it balances acne-causing bacteria

- is anti-inflammatory so calms active acne breakouts

- has proven to be as effective as topical antibiotics for acne without the risk of bacterial resistance

- is gentle unlike retinoids and benzoyl peroxide

- has proven to balance oily skin and it doesn’t just mop up excess oil, it slows down how much sebum is released after about 4 weeks of continued use

- strengthens sensitive skin by restoring the skin’s natural barrier function (compromised lipid barrier? Get some niacinamide in your routine!)

- fights against dehydration

- fights free radicals (aka it’s an “anti-aging” ingredient)

- prevents oxidative stress (aka it’s an anti-pollution skincare ingredient)

- has proven to fade pigmentation including acne scars and post-acne spots

- helps calm down redness for acne-prone skin

- helps keep collagen flexible, which helps reduce fine lines – something acne-prone skin is often prone to due to dehydration or damage from past breakouts.
