To start off this section, let’s talk a little about this famous ingredient: niacinamide. After a long time demonstrating its possibilities and versatility, what is technically the active form of vitamin B3 has become an essential part of almost any beauty routine. There’s nothing it can’t handle, in other words, it’s good for just about everything. Read on to find out more about it.
First and foremost, because it is suitable for all skin types, niacinamide can address the dermatological goals of any user. That’s right, even for those with the most sensitive skin.
Although we may think that what an oily skin needs is not what a very dry skin needs, we know that each skin is as unique as the person to whom it belongs, so anyone may need to correct a blemish, fade a wrinkle, or improve the elasticity of their skin at any given moment or in any given season. Niacinamide can help us with these and many other concerns for two very simple reasons: because it is involved in a wide variety of enzymatic reactions that take place in our bodies, and because its low molecular weight allows it to penetrate easily when applied to our skin.
Another great advantage of this ingredient is that we can use it without fear both in the morning and at night because it is not photosensitising, so it will not cause the appearance of spots or irritation when the skin comes into contact with radiation. Even so, it is still essential to use sunscreen every morning to keep the skin in good condition. For all these reasons, the only negative thing we can say about this ingredient is that its synthesis in our body is inefficient or practically non-existent, but a balanced diet and using it in your skincare products morning and night can solve this problem and allow us to take advantage of its properties in a localised way on the skin.
At Uniquely we have counted up to 18 beneficial properties in this ingredient (undoubtedly the most versatile of our endless list), so if you are concerned about factors such as ageing, wrinkles and fine lines, skin spots and evenness, lack of luminosity and elasticity, acne or rosacea, hydration or the recovery of the skin’s structure and barrier, there is a good chance that your personalised cream will include this “all-in-one” antioxidant.
