We hear a lot about the importance of antioxidants, but with many on the market it can be hard to differentiate between them.
Antioxidants are molecules that can slow or prevent damage to cells caused by free radicals. Free-radical damage can lead to numerous skin concerns and diseases.
There are many different antioxidants available in skincare, such as vitamin C, retinol and resveratrol; but we’re going to be focusing on the potency and properties of niacinamide (nicotinamide).
Niacinamide is a powerful yet calming antioxidant that delivers multiple skin benefits. It helps to reduce trans-epidermal water loss and improves barrier function, which is critical for healthy and bright skin. It doesn’t end there, as niacinamide also diminishes redness and skin yellowing and promotes even skin tone.
It is unique in the fact it stimulates the production of the skin’s natural lipids, while also providing anti-inflammatory properties with the benefit of being effective for many skin conditions.
Advanced aesthetic doctor and trainer Dr Paris says, “Now here’s an unsung hero that I think deserves so much press – niacinamide aka vitamin B3 is a powerful antioxidant has amazing all-round properties.
“These include supporting skin immunity, increasing collagen and elastin and hydrating the skin, strengthening barrier function, protecting against DNA damage, fading pigmentation and regulating sebum production. Is there anything this hero antioxidant does not do?”
