Niacinamide offers a range of amazing benefits for the skin. Let’s explore some key advantages of incorporating niacinamide into your everyday skincare routine:
Niacinamide is typically well-tolerated by most skin types. This water-soluble vitamin plays a crucial role in maintaining overall skin health. Niacinamide has multiple benefits which make it a worthy addition to your skincare routine:
- Skin Barrier Function: Niacinamide works to strengthen the skin barrier, reducing water loss and increasing its ability to retain moisture, improving overall skin hydration and leads to a healthier, plumper complexion.
- Reduces Redness and Inflammation: Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties which help soothe irritated, inflamed skin. This makes niacinamide particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin prone to redness.
- Sebum Production Regulation: Niacinamide helps balance skin’s sebum / oil production, making it an excellent option for both oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin types. By controlling excess oil production, niacinamide can reduce the occurrence of acne breakouts.
- Pores: Niacinamide can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and tighten them, working to create a smoother and more refined skin texture.
- Compatible with Other Ingredients: Niacinamide can generally be used alongside other active ingredients like hyaluronic acid and alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s), enhancing their effectiveness and minimising potential irritation.
- Protects Against Environmental Stress: Niacinamide helps protect the skin environmental stresses, such as sunlight, pollution, and toxins.
Niacinamide is used in a variety of CeraVe products, from cleansers to eye creams to moisturisers. These products are formulated for sensitive skin, dry skin, blemish-prone skin and more specific skin concerns.
