FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW MORE

LANTZ COPENHAGEN's Niacinamide serum has additional properties:

• Helps your skin grow a ceramide (lipid) barrier, helping the skin to retain its moisture. Moisture retention is beneficial for all skin types, especially if you have eczema or mature skin.
• Niacinamide reduces inflammation, which can help reduce flushing from eczema, blemished skin like acne and other inflammatory skin diseases.
• Minimises the appearance of pores over time and provides a more even skin tone.
• Treats hyperpigmentation. Some studies have found that 5 per cent niacinamide concentrations can be helpful in lightening dark spots. Benefits were seen after four weeks, but not beyond two months. This benefit may be due to increased collagen production.
• Minimises fine lines and wrinkles. Research has also found that the same concentration was useful in reducing some signs of sun damage that come with ageing. This includes fine lines and wrinkles.
• Protects against oxidative stress. Niacinamide helps build cells in the skin and protects them from environmental stresses such as sunlight, pollution and toxins.
• Treats acne. Niacinamide can be helpful for severe acne, especially inflammatory forms like papules and pustules. Over time, you may see fewer lesions and improved skin texture.
