Niacinamide, an ultra-effective anti-stain active ingredient
Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide is a very effective anti-aging active ingredient. effective in fading pigment spots. It interferes with the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, necessary for the first step in melanin synthesis. It also has a regulatory action at the level of signaling pathways inside cells which control the activity of this enzyme. It therefore makes it possible to limit the development of existing pigment spots but also to prevent the appearance of new pigment disorders.
Niacinamide is generally associated with vitamin C, an antioxidant and protective active ingredient ideal for improving the appearance of the skin. It can also be combined with exfoliating active ingredients, such as AHAs, to fade the appearance of surface brown spots and improve skin radiance. This type of formula is rather recommended for application in the evening, to avoid making the skin even more vulnerable to the sun’s rays.
