It is true that everyone will face different skin issues due to different skin types, and that's why each client need have a facial skin spectrum analysis before treatment. So that I can choose the most suitable products for each indiviual. But is there really no such an ingredient that can improve skin for most of people? The answer is yes, and this is what am I going to talk today - Niacinamide.


When everyone around you starts to talking about a certain skincare ingredient and wants to try to using it, it is a sign of the ingredient becomes very popular. For example, vitamin C trend in 2017 or retinol trend in 2020. Today, even dermatologists and skin care experts are talking about Niacinamide, and it has been appearing in the list of main ingredients of lots of premium skin care products. As a practitioner working in skin care industry, I can tell you clearly that Niacinamide is becoming popular.


What is Niacinamide


Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3. It can be used not only on sensitive skin, but also on acne-prone skin to reduce sebum secretion, strengthen the skin barrier, reduce redness, blemishes, and even dark spots. At the same time, it is also a good antioxidant, which can help the skin to resist abnormal pigmentation and environmental stress. As long as 1% or 2% concentration is added to skin care products, it is enough to make it work. But it can cause irritation if used in excess.


Benefits of Niacinamide


Niacinamide cannot be synthesized by the human body, but it is important for our daily skin care. It can help oxygenate cells, thereby preventing skin oxidation and protecting the skin barrier. Niacinamide can also help to soothing and anti-inflammatory our skin. When weather is cold and windy, it can stimulate the skin to produce lipids which form a protective barrier on the skin. This helps preventing skin redness, itching and irritation. For people who need anti-aging treatment, Niacinamide is also recommended to be used after exfoliating and deep cleaning step. Because it is rich in antioxidants and can neutralize free radicals. This promotes hydration and repair of hydrolipidic film. Niacinamide also added to many whitening products because it can reduce the appearance of spots and redness caused by overexposure to UV rays. It is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent for even the most sensitive type of skins and acts as an effective barrier against lupus and pimple acne.
