Description

🌿 Nicotinamide (Niacinamide) – Skin Brightening & Barrier Support

Nicotinamide, also known as niacinamide, is a water-soluble vitamin B3 derivative widely used in the cosmetics and skincare industry. It plays a key role in multiple physiological processes within skin cells, offering a variety of benefits for healthy, radiant skin.

  • Skin Brightening & Hyperpigmentation Reduction: Nicotinamide inhibits the transfer of melanin from melanocytes to keratinocytes, helping reduce dark spots and promote an even, luminous complexion.

  • Barrier Function & Moisture Retention: By stimulating ceramide synthesis, it strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, preventing moisture loss and enhancing resilience against environmental stressors.

  • Anti-Inflammatory & Soothing: Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and improve overall comfort.

  • Sebum Regulation & Acne Support: Nicotinamide helps balance sebum production, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin while minimizing breakouts.

  • Versatile Applications: Commonly found in moisturizers, serums, toners, masks, and other skincare formulations, nicotinamide is valued for its efficacy and versatility in improving skin health and appearance.
