For a Balanced, Even Skin Tone
It’s no coincidence that niacinamide is currently one of the most popular active ingredients in the cosmetics market. Niacinamide regulates sebum production, combats inflammation, and reduces redness. The best part about this ingredient is that all skin types can benefit from it, especially oily, acne-prone, and combination skin. We explain the full power of niacinamide in detail here.
WHAT IS NIACINAMID?
Niacinamide is a substance found in all human cells and is the active, water-soluble form of Vitamin B3. Niacin, the collective term for nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, is produced by the human body in the liver from the essential amino acid tryptophan. As nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), it acts as an antioxidant in a range of enzymatic reactions or, in its reduced form (NADH and NADPH), as a redox coenzyme. As an energy building block, niacinamide regulates cell metabolism and cell renewal. It is responsible for the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, contributing to the recovery of skin, muscles, nerves, and DNA.
HOW DOES NIACINAMIDE WORK?
Niacin, as a component of important coenzymes, is responsible for reactions in all body cells. This includes both energy metabolism and the synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fatty acids. Additionally, important processes such as cell division and signal transmission within cells rely on the valuable niacin.
How Niacinamide Helps Your Skin
The positive effects of niacinamide on the skin's barrier function have been known for some time. And the good news upfront: Damaged skin can actually regenerate. For example, dry skin becomes better hydrated as niacinamide stimulates the synthesis of lipids and ceramides in the skin. Recent studies show that a three-month treatment with a 5% niacinamide cream significantly reduces hyperpigmentation, skin disorders, lentigines seniles, yellow discoloration, and large pores. Additionally, niacinamide improves skin elasticity and helps reduce fine lines, all while maintaining excellent skin compatibility. Mature skin also benefits from Vitamin B3 and its derivatives, as they stimulate collagen synthesis and help reduce wrinkles. The increased synthesis of free fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides helps reduce water loss and strengthens the skin barrier. In addition to its antioxidant effects, niacinamide normalizes the skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid.
