When there are less dead skin cells on the surface of our skin, light refracts evenly over skin which means that skin appears more radiant and youthful, even and delicious 😉

Hyperpigmentation

A key concern for ranging skin types is hyperpigmentation, blemishes, dark marks and discolouration. Niacinamide is known to assist with evening out skin tone targeting areas of concern.

According to a Clinical Trial, "In the clinical studies, niacinamide significantly decreased hyperpigmentation and increased skin lightness compared with vehicle alone after 4 weeks of use."

Elasticity

Niacinamide is considered one of the key ingredients in gentle aging by improving skins elasticity which in turn reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles producing a more youthful appearance. According to MedicineNet, "Because it promotes the production of ceramides and elastin, both vital components of the skin barrier, niacinamide helps strengthen the complexion’s natural protective shield. This results in more hydrated, healthy skin that can better defend itself against moisture loss and outside irritants."
