Niacinamide the Superstar Serum 🌟

Overall, niacinamide can help build proteins in the skin and lock in moisture to prevent environmental damage.

Individual benefits include:

• Immunity. Niacinamide helps build Keratin, a type of protein that keeps your skin firm and healthy.
• Lipid barrier. Niacinamide can help your skin grow a Ceramide (lipid) barrier which can, in turn helps maintain moisture. This is beneficial for all skin types, especially if you have eczema or mature skin.
• Minimizes redness and blotchiness. Niacinamide reduces inflammation which may help ease redness from eczema, acne and other inflammatory skin conditions while also improving skin texture.
• Minimizes pore appearance. Keeping skin smooth and moisturised may have a secondary benefit — a natural reduction in pore size over time.
• Regulates oil. The benefits of moisture retention aren’t just for those with dry skin types. Niacinimide can also help regulate the amount of oil the sebaceous glands produce and prevent your glands from going into overdrive.
• Protects against sun damage. Niacinamide can concurrently rebuild healthy skin cells while also protecting them from damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
• Treats hyperpigmentation. Some research has found 5 % niacinamide concentrations can be helpful in lightening dark spots. This benefit may be due to increased collagen production.
• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. Research has also found that the same concentration was helpful in reducing some signs of sun damage that come with aging. This includes fine lines and wrinkles.
