Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Niacinamide is a fantastic skincare active! It helps down-regulate sebum production, reduce inflammation, decrease acne lesions, increase the synthesis of ceramides, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), reduce fine lines, fade age spots and hyperpigmentation, and brighten the complexion.

Benefits of Using Niacinamide Powder in Skincare:

Hydration: Niacinamide helps improve the skin’s moisture barrier, resulting in better hydration and reduced water loss.
Reduction in Redness: It can help calm and reduce redness in the skin, making it suitable for those with sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
Pore Minimization: Niacinamide can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, leading to smoother-looking skin.
Brightening: It can fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots, promoting a more even skin tone.
Anti-Aging: Niacinamide has been shown to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Oil Control: For those with oily skin, niacinamide can help regulate sebum production, reducing shine and the likelihood of breakouts.
Protection: When included in sunscreen formulations, niacinamide provides added protection against UV damage.
