Ingredient Highlight: Niacinamide

Niacinamide offers numerous benefits for the skin by promoting protein synthesis and moisture retention, which help prevent environmental damage. Here are the specific benefits:

• Immunity: Niacinamide aids in the production of keratin, a protein that keeps skin firm and healthy.
• Lipid Barrier: It helps the skin develop a ceramide (lipid) barrier, which retains moisture. This is especially beneficial for those with eczema or mature skin.
• Reduces Redness and Blotchiness: By reducing inflammation, niacinamide can alleviate redness associated with eczema, acne, and other inflammatory conditions.
• Minimizes Pore Appearance: Maintaining smooth and moisturized skin can naturally reduce the size of pores over time.
• Regulates Oil Production: Niacinamide helps control the oil production of sebaceous glands, preventing excessive oiliness.
• Protects Against Sun Damage: It helps rebuild healthy skin cells and protects them from damage caused by UV rays.
• Treats Hyperpigmentation: Studies suggest that 5% niacinamide can lighten dark spots, with visible results after four weeks.
• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The same concentration can also reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, by addressing sun damage.
• Protects Against Oxidative Stress: Niacinamide supports skin cell health while shielding them from environmental stresses like sunlight, pollution, and toxins.
• Treats Acne: It can be effective for severe acne, particularly inflammatory types like papules and pustules, leading to fewer lesions and improved skin texture over time.
