WHAT IS IT?
According to The Ordinary website, “Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is indicated to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. A high 10% concentration of this vitamin is supported in the formula by zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid to balance visible aspects of sebum activity.”
WHAT IT DOES
Let’s look at Zinc.
- Acting as an astringent, anti-inflammatory and healing agent, it’s a vital mineral for collagen production. If you have accidentally cut your skin, this mineral will protect the skin against infection with its anti-inflammatory property and regulate new cell production and turnover. Therefore it helps to heals and rejuvenates the skin better.
- Did you know acne can be a sign of Zinc deficiency? By regulating the activity of sebum production, Zinc can aid in acne prevention and helps to promote a healthy immune system and the healing of tissues.
- It’s an antioxidant which helps to fight free radicals and protects against UV radiation.
WHO’S IT FOR
