Today we will continue to study the ingredients that make up the best cosmetics, from whom we expect that help in maintaining health, and hence beauty of the skin, will come immediately. There are many such ingredients, and one of them is niacinamide.

And so, niacinamide. This is one of the forms of vitamin B3, it is also nicotinamide, or niacin amide, which is also called vitamin PP. Niacinamide helps to treat many skin problems such as age spots and various inflammations. It whitens the skin, removes redness and traces of post-acne, helps to retain moisture and increases the amount of ceramides, restores the barrier function of the skin, evens out tone, tones and smoothes the skin. The skin becomes more resistant to damage.

Multiple studies have confirmed that niacinamide increases collagen and elastin production. Niacinamide increases the protective functions of the skin, which, as a rule, are weakened by malnutrition, poor ecology and age.

This shows that niacinamide has strong anti-aging properties. In Korean cosmetics, it has long been used to treat rosacea, acne, and pigmentation. Niacinamide even affects some bacteria that cause skin infections. The advantage of the ingredient is its ability to overcome the barrier of the stratum corneum and get to the deeper layers of the skin.

Niacinamide in cosmetics

Niacinamide is known as one of the safest whitening ingredients in cosmetics, as it does not increase the sensitivity of the skin or cause allergies. Drugs with niacinamide are not even contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women. The content of niacinamide in the products is different. The most effective are cosmetic products with a concentration of more than 2.5%.

However, products with a concentration of 2% have anti-inflammatory effects, and with 5% they are an emergency aid for skin damaged by UV rays. As an anti-aging cosmetic for aging skin, excellent results can be obtained at the same 5% concentration.

Such products eliminate dullness and flabbiness of the skin, even out its tone, return health and beautyactively fight the signs of aging.

Application area

Niacinamide is used in cosmetics of different spectrum of action:

• Anti-aging products designed to whiten, improve the structure and firmness of the skin.
  
• Moisturizers.

• After shave products.
