INGREDIENT FOCUS:NIACINAMIDE

Explore the benefits of this powerhouse, multi-tasking ingredient, the science behind it and where to find it with Mii.

Niacinamide is a powerhouse ingredient that has gained significant popularity in the ever-evolving world of beauty and skincare formulas. Also known as Vitamin B3 or Nicotinamide, Niacinamide is a powerful ingredient with the ability to address multiple concerns and unlock radiant, healthy skin.

UNDERSTANDING NIACINAMIDE

• Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3, a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining the overall health of our skin. It boasts an impressive array of benefits, making it suitable for various skin types and concerns.
• It helps support the health of the skin’s natural barrier; it has antioxidant properties and therefore helps protect the skin from environmental damage, while also regulating sebum production. Sebum is naturally produced by the skin and helps maintain hydration levels and balances the pH levels of your skin. Regulating the skin’s production of sebum is important for striking a balance between hydration and oiliness, minimising pore size and reducing acne breakouts.
• Another benefit of Niacinamide is its brightening properties. This hero ingredient helps to even out the appearance of skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, sun damage and dullness.
• Further to this, Niacinamide also supports the skin’s natural production of collagen, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and promotes skin elasticity for a more youthful complexion.
