Niacinamide for even skin

An even, radiant complexion without pimples, fewer wrinkles and fewer pigment spots: Niacinamide is one of the most popular, fourth most powerful and skin-friendly active ingredients in cosmetics.

What is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a water-soluble, biologically active form of vitamin B3 - an essential cell nutrient that is found in all cells of our organism. This vitamin is only produced in very small quantities by the body itself and cannot be stored. We absorb vitamin B3 mainly through food: for example, from nuts, green vegetables, dried apricots, yeast, black tea, coffee, whole grains, eggs, fish or meat.

What are the effects of niacinamide?

Niacinamide is one of the most thoroughly researched ingredients in natural cosmetics. Its high effectiveness and particularly good tolerability have been proven by numerous independent clinical studies.

Thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties, niacinamide protects the skin from cell-damaging free radicals and counteracts the signs of skin aging. It inhibits inflammatory processes and helps reduce acne, it increases the formation of collagen fibers in the connective tissue and strengthens the skin's protective barrier. Almost every skin type can benefit from niacinamide.

Niacinamide for oily and impure combination skin

Oily or combination skin often suffers from redness, spots and enlarged pores. Niacinamide has the ability to minimize enlarged pores, making the skin appear more even. Niacinamide helps to balance the skin's sebum production. At the same time, vitamin B3 has an antibacterial effect and inhibits inflammation. Niacinamide has also proven effective for skin problems such as rosacea.

Niacinamide for dry skin

Niacinamide stimulates the formation of the skin's own lipids (ceramides), which form the skin's protective layer. It strengthens the skin barrier and improves the skin's ability to retain moisture. The result: the complexion no longer looks pale or tired, the feeling of tightness subsides, and the skin appears more supple, radiant and smoother.

Niacinamide against wrinkles

In mature skin, niacinamide delays skin aging by stimulating the production of collagen fibers in the connective tissue. This smoothes wrinkles and keeps the skin elastic. The first signs of skin aging, such as fine lines around the eyes or on the forehead, can also be successfully combated.

Niacinamide against pigment spots

In the fight against hyperpigmentation such as age spots or acne scars, niacinamide inhibits melanin synthesis and ensures a more even skin tone. Studies show a significantly improved skin structure, less skin redness and pigment spots. At the same time, niacinamide protects against new cell damage caused by free radicals and thus counteracts skin aging.

Combine niacinamide with other active ingredients

• Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Acid
  Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the body, binds large amounts of moisture. It plumps up the skin from the inside, tightens it and keeps it elastic. While niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, hyaluronic acid is the ideal complement for firmer, smoother skin and an even complexion.
• Niacinamide & Vitamin C
  Vitamin C, like niacinamide, has antioxidant properties. Both active ingredients stimulate the formation of collagen fibers in the connective tissue, promote the healing process in cases of inflammation, lighten pigment spots and delay skin aging. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to combine niacinamide and vitamin C in your skin care routine.
• Niacinamide & Bakuchiol
  Bakuchiol and niacinamide are also a powerful duo for a healthy skin structure. Like niacinamide, bakuchiol stimulates the body's own production of collagen, which improves the skin's firmness and elasticity. Bakuchiol also has the property of promoting the skin's regeneration process and reducing pigment spots and acne scars.

Niacinamide during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Skin care products containing niacinamide are considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, it is always a good idea to discuss your skin care with a doctor. Due to the hormonal changes during pregnancy, the skin can, in rare cases, suddenly become drier or more prone to blemishes. In any case, niacinamide is a versatile active ingredient that is also suitable for various skin conditions during pregnancy.

Niacinamide in use

To achieve the best possible effectiveness and visible results, it is important that you use Niacinamide regularly over a longer period of time. Try to incorporate the new Niacinamide Complex Serum into your skin care routine 1 to 2 times a day.

Depending on your individual skin condition, it is best to slowly work your way up to the optimal concentration. If you have very sensitive skin or are trying niacinamide for the first time, a concentration of around 4% is recommended. This concentration is contained, for example, in our Anti-Pollution Serum M for sensitive combination skin and also in the Brightening Vitamin Serum.

You can then gradually increase the concentration once you have gained experience in using niacinamide. Mature skin in particular generally benefits from higher doses of over 10%, such as those found in the Niacinamide Complex Serum with 12% vitamin B3. You can massage the serum in as an intensive treatment or spread it over the whole face - under a serum, face cream or face oil. Alternatively, you can mix the Niacinamide Booster directly with your face cream.
