Why is niacinamide so popular in cosmetics?

Niacinamide serum is a skin care product that concentrates a single functional ingredient—niacinamide. Its main function is whitening, oil control, and acne removal. It can be used alone or in combination. Different concentrations of nicotinamide stock solutions have different effects. Common ones include 2%, 3%, 5%, and 10% concentration of nicotinamide stock solutions. It has simple ingredients and is suitable for all types of skin. For dry skin, niacinamide has the effect of repairing the skin barrier and can effectively improve the skin's ability to retain moisture. For oily skin, it can control oil and refine pores.

The efficacy and role of nicotinamide in skin care products mainly include the following points：

1. Whitening effect: Niacinamide can inhibit the production and precipitation of melanin, block the migration of melanin to the epidermis, thereby reducing the degree of skin darkening and making the skin whiter.

2. Anti-aging effect: Using nicotinamide can slow down skin aging, help facial skin reduce facial wrinkles and spots, and stimulate the production of skin collagen.

3. Moisturizing effect: Niacinamide has moisturizing ability. Using skin care products containing nicotinamide can increase the skin's moisturizing ability, while reducing the loss of skin moisture and keeping the skin moist.

4. Oil control effect: Niacinamide can reduce the production of fatty acids and triglycerides in sebum, and has the effect of controlling oil secretion. The reduction of oil secretion can also regulate skin pores and prevent them from getting larger.

5. Acne removal effect: Gel containing nicotinamide can remove facial acne, because nicotinamide can promote skin metabolism and can peel off excess cuticles on the skin. In terms of efficacy, it can assist in acne removal.

6. Improve skin barrier function: Topical application of nicotinamide can increase the levels of free fatty acids and ceramides in the skin, stimulate microcirculation in the dermis, and prevent skin moisture loss. It also increases protein synthesis (such as keratin), increases intracellular NADPH levels, and accelerates keratinocyte differentiation. In addition, it can relieve skin irritation caused by surfactants or solvents.
