Niacinamide is also known as vitamin B3 or nicotinamide and is a stable, low molecular weight, water and alcohol soluble vitamin that penetrates the stratum corneum, the most superficial of our skin. Niacinamide is a precursor to several cofactors that participate in many enzymatic reactions in the skin, thus positively influencing numerous skin processes.
In addition to all its qualities, niacinamide has another great advantage: it is very well tolerated. And this means that it can be used by all skins. It is especially recommended for sensitive skin with redness and / or prone to rosacea, pigmentation alteration, acne tendency or those that show signs of aging. Due to its high versatility and compatibility with other cosmetic active ingredients, niacinamide is present in many cosmetics (cleansers, serums, creams, masks …). This makes it easier for us to find an appropriate product for each type of skin and that is adapted to each specific problem.
As we said, niacinamide is highly compatible with any of the active principles commonly used for skin care, including retinol, peptides, hyaluronic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin C and all kinds of antioxidants.
The Institute BCN Polyvitamins formulation incorporates niacinamide or vitamin B3 among its components, in addition to vitamins A, C and E combined with the B complex (B1, B2, B5 and B6). We are facing a vitamin complex that contributes to a deep dermonutrition.
It is essential to stimulate the cells through a regular supply of energizing elements. This highly antioxidant cocktail smoothes the skin texture, balancing the nutritional deficiencies of the skin caused by external and internal factors. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces hyperpigmentation, and stimulates the metabolism of hair follicles due to its vasodilator effect that improves blood circulation to the scalp.
