Top 5 Science-Backed Benefits of Niacinamide

Have you been hearing all about the new buzz ingredient in the skincare niche, Niacinamide, but skeptical about its use? 

Extremely effective and a multi-tasker, Niacinamide is a skincare ingredient that should always make it to your skincare essentials. Niacinamide is the stable form of vitamin B3 and is known for its restorative properties all while being versatile. The good news? It can be used by all skin types as its potential to irritate the skin is from little to none. 

Why Niacinamide Is a Skincare Essential 

At Arvelon, we’ve curated a list of science-backed benefits and the many facets of this do-it-all ingredient for the skin. Here’s what niacinamide offers the skin: 

• Reduces Hyper-pigmentation
  Niacinamide is a star ingredient when it comes to an even skin tone and reduced hyper-pigmentation. It works by inhibiting the transfer of melanosomes, which basically produce and store melanin that is responsible for the brown and black pigment in our skin and hair. As a result, incorporating Niacinamide in your daily skincare routine helps in brightening the complexion while also reducing hyper-pigmentation and uneven skin tone. 
• Skin Barrier Strengthening
  The skin barrier is composed of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. The barrier is responsible for locking in the skin moisture and keeping the nasties away. However, when this barrier becomes weak or is damaged, the skin goes haywire and that shows up in the form of dryness, flaking, inflammation, eczema, or psoriasis. Since Niacinamide promotes the synthesis of ceramides and elastin, it helps in strengthening the barrier that in turn helps in shielding the skin resulting in healthy and hydrated skin naturally. 
• Regulated Oil Production
  Regulating sebum levels and stabilizing oil production in the skin is a huge characteristic of Niacinamide. Restoring the strength of the sebaceous glands, it keeps the oil production under control. Excess sebum can cause clogged pores that appear as blackheads and breakouts that might be papules or pustules. But if you have Niacinamide in your skincare routine, then you have nothing to worry about as it tames oil levels and prevents acne!   
• Calms the Skin
  Applying Niacinamide topically brings many benefits for the skin too. It not only decreases redness and blotchiness in the skin but also restores the skin barrier. This strengthened skin barrier improves its functioning and brings the skin back to its optimal condition that is hydrated, nourished, supple, and free from irritation. 
• Fades Fine Lines
  A healthy lipid barrier promotes collagen production and skin elasticity. This makes the skin appear youthful and radiant with a supple complexion. With time and as we age, the skin's natural reserves of skin protein and the ability to produce it gradually decreases. As a result, wrinkles and fine lines appear and start to set in. Niacinamide replenishes what's lost and restores the skin's youthful vitality in no time!
