What Is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is scientifically defined as a water-soluble active form of vitamin B3. Known in modern dermocosmetics for its versatile effects, this component is also one of the most valuable ingredients in Lacinia formulations. Because it cannot be synthesised naturally by the body, applying it topically to the skin's surface from outside matters greatly in supporting the skin's overall appearance. A structurally very stable molecule, niacinamide does not degrade on contact with light and air, which makes it an indispensable and reliable part of daily skincare routines.
Benefits in Skincare
Niacinamide offers multi-dimensional cosmetic support for the skin achieving a livelier, smoother and brighter appearance. By increasing the skin's moisture-holding capacity it strengthens its natural protective barrier and supports its bearing against external factors. Its main cosmetic benefits can be listed as follows:
- By supporting the skin barrier, it moisturises intensively and makes the skin feel softer.
- By reducing the look of uneven skin tone, it offers a brighter, more radiant and clearer skin texture.
- While helping to tighten the look of pores, it revitalises the skin and leaves a fresh feel all day.
How Is It Used?
Niacinamide is a highly compatible component that can easily be integrated into both morning and evening care routines. You can apply your Lacinia products to cleansed and toned skin as a few drops of serum or a thin layer of cream. Because it is a water-based active, working it gently into your skin before oil-based or richer cosmetic products in your routine gives the most ideal result. It also works in perfect harmony with other moisturising ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or peptides.
Who Can Use It?
This versatile form of vitamin B3 is compatible with almost every skin type, sensitive skin included. Anyone with dry, combination, oily or mature skin can add niacinamide to their routine to refresh and deeply nourish their skin.
Points to Keep in Mind
Although niacinamide is generally a very well tolerated cosmetic active, as with every new product it is advisable to do a patch test on a small area of the inner wrist before applying it to your face. Take care to follow the instructions for use and the recommended amounts so as not to experience any unwanted sensation in your skin.
