Niacinamide formulated at 5 per cent is a powerful and efficacious ingredient. It has the ability to inhibit the transfer of pigment to skin cells preventing hyperpigmentation, reduce water loss, strengthen the protective barrier function of the skin, reduce inflammation and balance the skin’s pH level. It has also been proven to effectively reverse and minimise UV damage by boosting the skin’s immune response, regulate sebum production, stimulate collagen and elastin production in fibroblasts, and boost mitochondria performance.
