Niacinamide: Why Is It So Popular ?
In the fascinating world of K-Beauty, one ingredient has emerged as a true game-changer: Niacinamide. You’ve surely already come across Niacinamide as it has become one of the major ingredients in K-beauty products setting a new benchmark for achieving the famous glass skin.
Let's dive deeper into what makes Niacinamide a special ingredient that transforms your skincare routine.
What Is Niacinamide?
This ingredient that you often find in your products’ formula is a type of vitamin B3. Vitamin B3 has a major role as it intervenes in important chemical reactions in your body like the nutrient synthesis, converting it into energy for your cells, and increasing the protein synthesis.
Your body neither produces vitamin B3 nor stores it as it dissolves when mixed with water so it’s essential for your skin to use niacinamide topically on a regular basis.
Why Is Niacinamide a Game-Changer ?
Niacinamide addresses a variety of concerns simultaneously and boosts the performance of other ingredients while minimizing their downsides. It delivers great results while ensuring a gentle action on your skin, making it the perfect ingredient for all skin types.
Hyperpigmentation
One of the well-known effects of Niacinamide is its dark spot control and brightening effect. Two major causes of hyperpigmentation are UV exposure and injuries like acne scars. Vitamin B3 prevents the melanin-producing cells from expanding and causing the pigmentation of skin cells. More precisely, Niacinamide works to reduce existing melanin, helping to fade dark spots, while also inhibiting its buildup to prevent the formation of new discoloration. Niacinamide also protects your skin from environmental aggressors and oxidative stress thanks to its antioxidant effects.
Inflammation
Niacinamide helps build keratin, a protein that keeps the skin strong, which allows you to strengthen your skin barrier and protect it from inflammation, irritation and control redness and acne. With its calming and soothing properties, Niacinamide is ideal for sensitive skin.
Hydration
By strengthening your skin barrier, Niacinamide prevents trans-epidermal water loss and allows locking hydration in. Niacinamide is also known for boosting collagen and ensuring a great moisture input for a glowing skin.
Aging
An increase in keratin is also very efficient to fight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. On top of that, the increased collagen production improves skin elasticity and makes your skin thicker, stopping fine lines and wrinkles from forming.
Incorporate Niacinamide Into Your Skincare Routine
Niacinamide can be found either in toners, serums, moisturizers and face masks. Niacinamide-based products have a quick absorption and can be used at night or in the morning. Two to three months of regular use of Niacinamide is expected to deliver solid results and great change to your skin.
