What are Niacinamides?
Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 and stands out with a whole lot of effects.
Vitamin B3 is water-soluble and is found in our food mainly in meat, fish or liver.
The cosmetic industry has discovered this vitamin for good use. In creams, lotions, sun protection or serums the advantages are being used.
What are the effects of Niacinamides?
These effects of niacinamides have often been proved in studies:
✓Increases skin elasticity
✓ Decreases fine lines and wrinkles
✓ Strengthens skin barrier
✓ Moisturizes the skin
✓ Decreases hyperpigmentation, redness and yellow discoloration
✓ Decreases sebum production, therefore helps with oily skin or acne
Which concentration of Niacinamides is the best?
Even with low concentrations we can benefit from the positive effects. In studies often 2 – 5 % are used and lead to measurable success. Many manufacturers offer higher concentrations of 10 % or even 20 %, which can cause irritation for one or the other. In this case choose a product with lower concentration, use it less often or e.g. in case of a serum mix it with your lotion.
Can Niacinamides be mixed with other skincare products?
Niacinamides can be mixed with other products.
For a long time there have been rumors that you`re not supposed to mix Niacinamides with Vitamin C. Latest research prove them false.
At most, using a pure Vitamin C product together with a high concentrated Niacinamide this could cause irritation due to the resulting sour milieu. However it should disappear quickly.
If you notice that you can also leave some time between the two ingredients.
