Nicotinamide is a multifunctional active ingredient with outstanding skin compatibility. This water-soluble vitamin B3 brings multiple topical benefits to enhance skin’s appearance and texture. Nicotinamide combats the visual effects of aging on several fronts. It improves the skin’s barrier, i.e. the skin’s first line of defense, helping to protect slin against moisture loss and dehydration. It is an effective tool to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten and minimize enlarged pores and improve oily skin due to its sebum lowering activity. Another great effect is its ability to influence skin pigmentation by down regulating the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes. That’s why Nicotinamide can be used to brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation disorders such as age spots and melasma. Nicotinamide is suitable for all skin types.
