Niacinamide 2%

Niacinamide works at the junction between melanocytes and keratinocytes, intercepting melanin transfer before pigment reaches the visible surface. It simultaneously boosts ceramide synthesis to strengthen the lipid barrier, which is why consistent use addresses both discoloration and dehydration. In this essence, Niacinamide targets dehydration, delivering floods skin with a concentrated layer of hydration with consistent use.
