Naturium Niacinamide Gel Cream 5% (50 G / 1.7 OZ) - High Concentration of Niacinamide for a Visibly Poreless Look - Dermatologically Tested

Product Information

This concentrated serum is formulated with 12% niacinamide and 2% zinc PCA, similar to The Ordinary Niacinamide + Zinc . While anyone can benefit from a niacinamide serum, this ingredient is ideal for those with congested skin, dullness, and/or uneven skin tone.

The moisturizer also contains quite a few moisture-binding ingredients, such as several types of algae, humectants, and sodium hyaluronate. Since the formula doesn’t contain many emollients, it’s best for those with normal, combination, and oily skin types. If you have dry skin, you will likely need a moisturizer with more emollients and barrier-replenishing ingredients. Niacinamide or, nicotinamide, is the most common and well studied form of Vitamin B3, used in cosmetic products. It is a low molecular weight, water-soluble vitamin and precursor to important coenzymes, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD(H) and its phosphorylated derivative, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or NADP(H). NAD(H) and NADP(H) are oxidation/reduction (redox) coenzymes, involved in over 40 biochemical reactions, crucial to the energy, repair, and homeostasis of cells. 1 As we age, the levels of these crucial coenzymes decrease, resulting in increased oxidative stress and reduction in skin health. By replenishing these cofactors, niacinamide provides a therapeutic boost, resulting in a myriad of skin benefits. It is important to note that you do not need to be niacin deficient or low on NAD(H) to see the skin benefits of niacinamide. All skin types can profit from this multi-faceted beauty vitamin.

Topical niacinamide reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by increasing keratinocyte proliferation and stimulating collagen and epidermal protein synthesis. Another amazing feature of niacinamide is its ability to improve the skin barrier. By boosting ceramide and barrier lipid synthesis and therefore strengthening the integrity of the skin barrier, niacinamide increases moisture content in skin, protects the skin from environmental pollutants, reduces skin sensitivity to irritants, and helps the skin tolerate retinoids better. Given the plethora of skin benefits with little to no side effects, dermatologists have used this cosmeceutical active to treat rosacea, acne, melasma, and atopoic dermatitis.
