Description 10 Niacinamide Benefits For Skin So we know what niacinamide is, but how does it help our skin? Below are a few benefits you’ll want to know all about. 1. Niacinamide helps restore and strengthen skin. Niacinamide works overtime to give skin a jumpstart that allows it to build resilience for a healthy glow you can see. 2. It gives an assist to moisturizers. Niacinamide lends a helping hand to the stratum corneum, AKA the outermost layer of the epidermis. It supports this vital buffer so it can retain moisture, which makes lotions all the more effective. 3. It balances the skin’s natural oils. While it’s busy preserving hydration, niacinamide also does double-duty by helping to control your natural oils. This diminishes shine, too! 4. It offers natural protection against environmental stressors. As an antioxidant, one of niacinamide’s top jobs is to act as a buffer between our skin and the environment. 5. Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. All that antioxidant activity and reduced moisture loss have a welcome side effect: a softened look and a diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 6. It creates a smoother-looking appearance. Since niacinamide stops outside stressors from wreaking havoc on your complexion, it supports a brighter, smoother appearance. 7. It has a calming effect. Niacinamide deflects irritants from your skin, allowing your complexion a chance to rejuvenate itself and take a much-needed breather. 8. It minimizes the appearance of pores. Smooth, moisturized skin free of irritants means unclogged pores, which tend to be less visible. 9. Niacinamide alleviates temporary blotchiness. The calming effect of niacinamide eases discomfort and lessens temporary redness, paving the way for renewed, beautiful skin. 10. It’s great for those who spend tons of time outside. In higher concentrations, niacinamide provides potent antioxidant power that clarifies and balances skin, making it perfect for sun lovers.
