BENEFITS
Moisturisation:
Niacinamide helps to enhance the skin’s natural barrier function, reducing water loss and promoting better hydration. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with dry or dehydrated skin. The products helps to strengthen the skin's barrier function, which can help to protect the skin from environmental stressors and maintain hydration.
Minimizes Pore Size:
Niacinamide has a tightening effect on the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and a smoother and more even skin texture by promoting cell turnover. It aids in shedding old damaged skin cells and generating healthy layer of skin. By improving skin texture and tone, it creates a smoother canvas for makeup application and enhances overall skin appearance.
Regulates Sebum Production:
Niacinamide helps to regulate the production of sebum, the skin’s natural oil. By balancing sebum levels it can prevent excessive oiliness, which is beneficial for individuals with oily and acne-prone skin. It may also have antibacterial properties that can help to kill acne-causing bacteria.
Improving the appearance of aging skin and dark spots:
Niacinamide may help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen, a protein that gives structure to the skin. Niacinamide may have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to calm irritated skin and reduce redness. Niacinamide may help to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment that gives colour to the skin.
