What is Niacinamide?
A true beauty ally, Niacinamide is an ingredient with multiple properties. Naturally present in our skin, it is a highly biocompatible active ingredient.
A vitamin-enriched active ingredient
Niacinamide is the active form of vitamin B3, also known as vitamin PP. It naturally intervenes in the skin's protection mechanisms and helps maintain optimal hydration. In cosmetics, we use its natural role in the skin to act simultaneously on several concerns.
An ingredient for all skin types
Another major asset of Niacinamide: it is suitable for all skin types. It easily integrates into your beauty routine, both morning and evening. Dry, combination, oily, mature, or blemish-prone skin: this active ingredient meets everyone's specific needs.
The 5 benefits of Niacinamide
A versatile active ingredient, Niacinamide has a lot to offer your skin.
Prevent and correct all types of dark spots
Niacinamide is a key active ingredient for targeting the appearance of pigment spots. At an expert optimal concentration of 5%, as in the Anti-Dark Spot + Anti-Aging Care SPF 30, it visibly corrects spots related to the sun, age, or imperfections,
.
Targeting signs of aging
Thanks to its antioxidant properties, Niacinamide helps your skin neutralize free radicals generated by external aggressions such as UV rays, pollution, and stress. These unstable molecules disrupt cell function and accelerate skin aging.
Niacinamide also stimulates the natural synthesis of collagen, one of the skin's supporting proteins. It thus helps improve firmness, restore tone to your skin, and reduce the signs of aging.
Improving skin quality
Another benefit of Niacinamide: it limits sebum production. This helps reduce the number of imperfections and tighten pores. Skin texture is refined, its appearance improves, and it feels softer.
.
Strengthen the skin's barrier function
By stimulating ceramide production, Niacinamide also strengthens the hydrolipidic film and thus the skin barrier. Your skin retains moisture better and defends itself better against external aggressions.
