What is niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3, known for its dermatological benefits. It plays a key role in several mechanisms that help to:

• Regulate sebum and tighten pores, thus limiting the appearance of imperfections.

• Strengthen the skin barrier by stimulating the production of ceramides and collagen for more resilient and hydrated skin.
• Reduce the signs of aging by promoting cell renewal, which smooths the skin and improves its elasticity.

Why does it work?

Behind its benefits lie simple but effective mechanisms:

• Energy and repair: Niacinamide promotes the production of enzymes essential for skin repair and protection, helping to reduce skin damage.
