Skin care product ingredients are popular - niacinamide
Niacinamide is now the star ingredient in skin care products, but is it really so good for the anchor big Vs?
Let's get to know it today. Niacinamide is a derivative of niacin, but it is also a water-soluble vitamin. Also known as vitamin B3. Niacin is essential for fat and sugar function in the body, and niacinamide also helps maintain cellular health and vitality.
Niacinamide has the following effects:
1. Inhibits oil secretion
2. Enhance the moisturizing ability of the skin
3. Strengthen the skin barrier and improve skin redness
4. Inhibition of inflammatory factors (inhibition of acne, inflammatory aging)
5. Promote collagen production (anti-wrinkle, "pore shrinkage")
6. Inhibit melanin transfer, yellowing (whitening)
7. Antioxidant, anti-glycation
8. Reduce the risk of adverse reactions caused by topical vitamin A
There is no such thing as perfection. Although niacinamide is powerful, it is at risk of intolerance to some people's skin. The specifics are as follows:
1. The skin is red and hot
2. Stinging, peeling
3. A large number of closed mouths and acne quickly appear in a short period of time
How to avoid severe intolerance
1. Use regular manufacturers' products
The most powerful estimate of playing with niacinamide is Procter & Gamble, P&G has a large number of patents in the use of niacinamide, and its brands such as SKII and OLAY have added high-purity niacinamide to skin care products. That's why I recommend that novices try Niacinamide for the first time and try to choose Olay's cheap, affordable products. Olay's products are mostly between 3% and 5% in concentrations, making them suitable for beginners without excessive risk of intolerance.
2. Observe skin reactions
For skincare novices, be sure to do an allergy test! Try your face after making sure you're not allergic to the product yourself. If you are not sure if you are tolerant of niacinamide, you can choose to apply only a small amount locally at the first use to observe the skin's response. After a few minutes, if there is no redness or tingling, then you can choose to apply to the whole face (this does not mean that the skin is 100% tolerant of niacinamide).
3. Gradually and gradually increase the frequency of use
If you only experience mild redness and fever during the first few uses, you can gradually build up resistance to niacinamide in your skin.
4. When the skin condition is not good, please avoid using products containing high concentrations of niacinamide itself, although it is not a very irritating ingredient, but in the case of sensitive skin, redness, large-scale peeling, and damaged barrier, it is still necessary to avoid using products that focus on niacinamide. Because the skin is very fragile and sensitive at this time, any additional irritation may aggravate the skin's redness and sensitivity, affecting the skin's self-repair process. In the face of such a situation, we can only use a few mild products.
