Niacinamide

The anti-aging active ingredient of the future

A powerful antioxidant, niacinamide is the leading molecule in cellular senescence. Zoom in on the anti-aging ingredient of tomorrow.

Also called vitamin B3, niacinamide is naturally present in our bodies. It is also found in some everyday foods (meat, fish and cereals). This molecule, transported by the vascular system, helps our body to produce energy and restore DNA. However, there is very little stored in the body and with age its effectiveness wanes. Thanks to its powerful antioxidant and protective properties, studies show that it will soon be the anti-aging active ingredient of the future, surpassing hyaluronic acid and vitamin C.

Niacinamide is a leading anti-aging active ingredient. Highly concentrated, this molecule acts against cellular senescence to help reduce the signs of aging. In our skincare products, it is suitable for even sensitive skin.

    THE LANGUAGE OF SKIN

    Decipher the expert vocabulary

    A natural skin cell aging process. Over time cells lose their ability to renew themselves; they secrete pro-life factors and become senescent. The affected cells propagate this phenomenon around them. This is how skin aging accelerates.

    A young cell which, after application of niacinamide, becomes senescent less quickly and has a longer life span.

    Niacinamide VS. Hyaluronic acid: Which is the best anti-aging active ingredient?

     

    Hyaluronic acid

    Hyaluronic acid, in high and low molecular weight, hydrates and plumps the skin. It also helps to target signs of aging by reducing fine lines and wrinkles and combating the appearance of loss of firmness.

    Niacinamide

    Niacinamide also acts on the cause of skin aging. It protects the cells, increases their life span and slows down the phenomenon of senescence. It is therefore suitable to combine these two active ingredients for optimal anti-ageing effects.
