What are the benefits of niacinamide essence?

Niacinamide is known as the "panacea" ingredient for skin care, but do you know what the effects of niacinamide essence are? If you want to whiten, control oil, and prevent enlarged pores, you may need a niacinamide essence~

Niacinamide Essence Benefits

Skin Whitening

Niacinamide essence relies on the whitening principle of niacinamide to whiten the skin. It mainly interferes with the synthesis of melanin, prevents the transport of already produced melanin to the epidermis, and speeds up the metabolism of the epidermis, causing the cells containing melanin to fall off.

Moisturizing and repairing skin barrier

Ceramide is an important component of the skin barrier. Topical niacinamide essence can increase the levels of ceramide and free fatty acids, prevent skin moisture loss, promote microcirculation in the dermis, and enhance the skin's barrier function.

Oil control and pore minimization

Niacinamide serum can reduce the production of fatty acids and triglycerides in sebum, thereby controlling oil secretion and making skin pores look less large.

Anti-aging, anti-glycation

As we age, the content of NADH and NADPH in cells will gradually decrease. The niacinamide in niacinamide essence can play a role by regulating the balance of the two levels in the body. Glycation can cause the protein in the skin to deteriorate, resulting in yellowing, wrinkles and other problems. High levels of NADPH will exert a powerful antioxidant effect, which can prevent the spontaneous glycosylation reaction of protein and sugar, and has anti-aging and anti-glycation effects.

Refine pores and improve skin texture

Enlarged pores are also a sign of skin aging. Under the action of the niacinamide component in the essence, the synthesis rate of protein on the surface of our skin will be accelerated, and the skin's own defense ability will also be enhanced.

Anti-inflammatory and acne treatment

The anti-inflammatory characteristics of niacinamide in niacinamide essence are not manifested in the aspect of sterilization, but it achieves the anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting inflammatory factors. There is evidence that when a 4% niacinamide ointment is compared with a 1% clindamycin ointment, after eight weeks, niacinamide is 20% more effective than clindamycin in improving adolescent symptoms and reducing inflammatory diseases.

Precautions for using niacinamide essence

Avoid use with acids

Niacinamide essence should be used as little as possible to avoid being used together with salicylic acid and fruit acid products, because their simultaneous use will cause strong irritation to the skin. They need to be used every 3 hours. It is recommended to use niacinamide in the morning and salicylic acid and fruit acid products at night.

Need to build up tolerance before use

The use of niacinamide requires the establishment of tolerance conditions. If you use niacinamide products for the first time, you can try using it 1 to 2 times a week. If there is no problem, you can increase the frequency of use.
