Product Review

Niacinamide is also an excellent skin lightening agent that works by disrupting the transfer of melanosome from the melanocyte to the keratinocyte. A study done by Procter and Gamble that proved that Niacinamide demonstrated significant skin lightening in patients. This very light serum absorbs quickly into skin while it delivers 5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3). It uses a brand new emulsifying system (Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetyl Palmitate and Palm Stearic Acid) that is accepted and approved natural. The emulsifying and the organic preservative system conforms with the Whole Food Premium list. Studies have proven in recent years that niacinamide is a powerful ingredient that yields many skin care benefits. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) at 2% has been shown to reduce water loss in the skin and retain fatty acid levels for a younger, plumper, and firmer skin. It has also been proven at high concentrations (between 3-4%) to be a very effective acne reducer. Niacinamide doesn't run the risk of resistance, since it is not an antibiotic. In general, most individuals saw results after 12 weeks of daily usage (and saw a reduction of 35-68% of pigmentation). Like with most other skin lightening compounds, Niacinamide has an inhibitory effect and in order to get the most out of it, you must be wearing sunscreen every day and exfoliate often to ensure a complete melanin inhibiting process.
