Niacinamide helps the skin function to absolute best ability. It does this by supporting:
1. Barrier Strength & Lipid Production
Niacinamide encourages the skin to produce its own protective lipids, helping improve hydration retention and overall barrier function. A stronger barrier means calmer more stable and healthier skin function.
2. Pigment Transfer Regulation
Rather than resurfacing built-up pigmented skin cells or blocking tyrosinase, Niacinamide works by slowing the movement of melanin (pigment) from the melanocyte to surrounding skin cells helping reduce the appearance of dark spots and surface discolouration.
3. Immune Support & Redness Reduction
Niacinamide supports Langerhans cell function the “security guards” of the epidermis helping improve skin resilience and reducing the look of inflammation-driven conditions such as redness, sensitivity, acne- and rosacea-prone skin conditions. It also helps maintain a healthier pH balance, which in turn assists in regulating pigment activity and reducing the presence of unwanted surface bacteria.
4. Sebum Balancing & Breakout Reduction
By supporting both pH and immune function, Niacinamide helps reduce the conditions in which C. acnes thrive, while balancing excess sebum, ideal for congestion-prone, oily, or acne-prone skins.
5. Smoother Texture
Niacinamide activates natural chymotryptic enzymes, supporting a clearer, smoother surface as the skin naturally sheds redundant cells without harsh exfoliation.
