In recent years, niacinamide, a commonly used whitening ingredient in cosmetics, has received widespread attention from consumers. So, what role does niacinamide play in cosmetics? Is it suitable for everyone?

Niacinamide is widely used.

Whitening - The whitening effect of nicotinamide is by inhibiting the transport of melanosomes, thereby inhibiting the uptake of melanin particles by keratinocytes. Clinical trials have proven that skin care products containing nicotinamide can reduce the number of spots on human skin. Long-term use of skin care products containing nicotinamide can dilute spots, improve skin condition, and achieve whitening effects.

Wrinkle removal - Adding an appropriate amount of nicotinamide to moisturizer can improve the adverse reactions of the skin caused by external stimulation to a certain extent, enhance the skin's anti-wrinkle ability, and avoid excessive skin aging. Studies have found that adding 2% to 5% niacinamide, 1% to 5% farnesol, and phytantriol to skin care formulas can prevent skin wrinkles to a large extent.

Acne removal - Once various types of acne appear on the skin, it is easy to cause secondary infection and further damage the internal skin tissue. Niacinamide can participate in the body's inflammatory response and reduce acne symptoms by reducing inflammation.

The higher the concentration, the better

Compared with other whitening raw materials, nicotinamide is much less irritating to the skin. Even if the nicotinamide content in the product is as high as 5%, there will not be any major problems.

Before using cosmetics containing niacinamide, you should test whether your skin can tolerate it: for the first time, choose a product with a lower concentration. ELLEN ELLA Niacinamide Cream is scientifically formulated, mild and effective, and is a good choice.
