Forget about Niacinamide by Best Facials Singapore
If you are one of the skincare enthusiasts who research about ingredients and read labels of skincare, you may be intrigued by an ingredient which pops up ‘Niacinamide’. It is a form of Vitamin B3. However, your body can make niacinamide from niacin supplments taken. It is not advisable to consume Niacin for skin health reasons as it is not water soluble.
Vitamin B3 can be found in eggs, cereals, green veggies, beans, fish, milk.
Many skincare manufacturers include it into its skincare to help with congestion, open pores and even pimples and acne as it is believed to help build skin immunity. Some even suggest that it can help with building proteins in the skin and help to lock in moisture to prevent environmental damage.
Niacinamide may also help to reduce signs of aging including fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and help retain moisture. But we still prefer some other ingredients for either higher efficacy and/or less side effects.
Here are some of our favorite skincare ingredients which are of gold standard in delivering its function. As we have mentioned before, the key to a good skincare formula is really about balance in its active ingredients.
Angels Dream Spa and Tng Beauty would prefer to recommend skincare manufacturer which have at least 50 years of experience in its R&D and manufacturing skincare. This includes Guinot, Maria Galland and Babor.
