Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 found in food. It is used to treat various skin diseases and also as a dietary supplement. Some studies have shown that Niacinamide can help prevent skin cancers. Owing to its multiple benefits, Niacinamide is becoming more and more popular by the day. This blog aims to help you understand Niacinamide, its benefits and how Oteria is using this magic ingredient to give you flawless skin.
What Is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that works with the natural substances in your skin to help visibly improve enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, and a weakened surface. Unlike some more aggressive and harsh acids used in skincare, niacinamide is gentle and well-tolerated by all skin types.
How Is Niacin Converted To Niacinamide In The Body?
Foods such as beef, pork, chicken, fish, brown rice, cereals, nuts, seeds, legumes, and bananas, are rich in Niacin. When you consume such foods, the body first uses Niacin to help turn food into energy. It then converts the leftover or extra niacin into niacinamide. The body does this to make sure the extra niacin doesn't go to waste and is instead used for other important things, like helping your skin stay healthy.
Benefits Of Niacinamide For Skin
Improves Skin Barrier: Niacinamide helps to reinforce and improve the skin’s barrier (its first line of defense) and makes it resilient. A strengthened skin barrier helps retain moisture, which is crucial for keeping the skin hydrated, soft and plump.
Regulates Oil Production: It can also help regulate the amount of oil the sebaceous glands produce and prevent them from going into overdrive. This helps a great deal while treating acne.
Reduces Redness And Blotchiness: Niacinamide reduces inflammation, which may help ease redness from eczema, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
Minimizes Pore Appearance: By keeping skin smooth and moisturized, niacinamide can help reduce the appearance of pores over time.
Protects Against Sun Damage: Niacinamide can rebuild healthy skin cells while also protecting them from damage caused by ultraviolet rays. Some studies suggest that this protection might contribute to preventing certain types of skin cancer by defending the skin against harmful sun exposure.
Treats Hyperpigmentation: Studies have shown that niacinamide can help reduce the visibility of dark spots. This benefit may be due to increased collagen production and reduced inflammation.
Minimizes Fine Lines And Wrinkles: The vitamin boosts collagen production, which can help reduce the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Protects Against Oxidative Stress: Niacinamide helps build cells in the skin while also protecting them from environmental stresses, such as sunlight, pollution, and toxins.
