The relationship between vitamin B3 and skin dates back to the early 20th century, when it was noted that vitamin deficiencies could cause severe skin irritation. Since then, a wealth of scientific research has emerged, and niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is now recognized as a unique, multifaceted fighter in the battle against skin aging.

“originally we used niacinamide for its protective and moisturizing properties, but today we know that these precursor coenzymes operate the basic metabolism of cells,” says University of Massachusetts professor Frauke Nossen-Ole. This means that when you add cyanide to older skin cells using lotion, they increase energy levels and produce more collagen, just like they did when they were younger. In addition, it has recently been proven that anti-inflammatory drugs can improve the microcirculation of the skin, increase the elasticity of the tissue, effectively inhibit pigmentation, and neutralize redness and swelling through anti-inflammatory effects.
