I know what you're probably thinking...nicina WHATT? Believe me I had never heard of it either a year ago. But trust me you want to know about it. Essentially what it does is build proteins in the skin to lock in moisture and prevent environmental damage (sun spots, acne, wrinkles).
It's the holy grail ingredient providing all of these benefits:
1. Creates Firm Healthy Skin - builds keratin proteins in the skin
2. Moisturizes - Beneficial for Mature Skin or those who suffer from eczema, & everyone in general by growing a ceramide lipid barrier for your skin
3. Reduces Inflammation - in eczema & acne...i've even heard for allergic reactions
4. Reduces the Appearance of Pores
5. Regulates Oily Skin
6. Protects Against Skin Damage - Rebuilds healthy skin cells
7. Lightens Dark Spots and Hyperpigmentation
8. Protects against Pollutants - pollution causes acne and wrinkles
9. Treats Current Acne
Wheeww...that's a LOT. It's safe to say we can all benefit from Niacinamide.
HOW TO USE: After your Toner, Before your Moisturizer
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING: if you have sensitive skin stick to a 5% serum as Niacinamide can be drying. It's always good to build your way up than start off with a high concentrate for anything you buy.
