Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), 50 g

Synonyms: vitamin B3, nicotinamide, vitamin PP

It is a water-soluble vitamin from the group of B vitamins (specifically B3). Scientific studies have long shown that niacinamide can reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and acne.

But niacinamide is also a great fighter against aging. As we age, the production of proteins such as collagen decreases, leading to wrinkles and loss of firmness. It is believed that niacinamide slows down the formation of wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen. A clinical study revealed that using a 5% niacinamide moisturizer twice daily reduced the appearance of wrinkles after 8 weeks and significantly improved skin elasticity after 12 weeks.

This derivative of vitamin B3 is usually formulated into products such as serums and creams, and for these reported benefits, it is ideal to use twice a day. However, they can also be combined with other products that soothe and brighten the skin. Niacinamide is usually paired with another elixir of youth, hyaluronic acid.
