Benefits of Niacinamide
1. Whitening
Niacinamide can speed up the metabolism and accelerate the shedding of keratinocytes containing melanocytes. Nicotinamide has a small molecular weight and can be directly absorbed by epidermal cells, stimulates the vitality of some declining cells, promotes the synthesis of collagen, prevents excessive melanin, and achieves whitening effects.
After melanin is produced, the skin will darken only if it is transported to the stratum corneum. Niacinamide can reduce the transport of melanin to the stratum corneum, reduce the deposition of melanin in the stratum corneum, and prevent the skin from darkening. Clinical trials have proved that niacinamide can significantly reduce the area and number of brown spots on the skin. With the naked eye, you can see that the skin pigmentation becomes lighter.
Niacinamide also has an anti-glycation effect and can lighten the yellow color of protein after glycation. In layman's terms, it has an effect on dark yellow skin, and has obvious effects on the skin of "face band" and "yellow face woman".
2. Anti-aging
Studies have shown that nicotinamide can promote the synthesis of epidermal protein, enhance the skin's own defense capabilities, increase skin moisture content, and reduce facial skin wrinkles, dark yellow, and spots. Nicotinamide is widely used in anti-aging products.
3. Control oil and shrink pores
When the content of nicotinamide in the product reaches 2%, it can reduce the production of fatty acids and triglycerides in the sebum secreted by the skin, and achieve the effect of controlling the secretion of oil. The secretion of oil is reduced, and the pores of the skin excreting sebum will also slowly Reduce, achieve the purpose of shrinking pores. The effect of reducing pores has been confirmed by many consumers who insist on using niacinamide products.
4. Acne
Studies have shown that a gel containing 4% niacinamide has a therapeutic effect on acne equivalent to 1% clindamycin gel (the main topical prescription drug for acne treatment).
