> Vitamin B3 that strengthens the skin barrier, refines pores, evens tone, and calms redness - one of the most clinically supported actives in skincare.

## What it does

One of the most researched actives in skincare. Vitamin B3 refines pores, evens tone, calms redness, and strengthens the barrier, for skin that is visibly healthier and more resilient.

## Why we chose it

Niacinamide is proven to increase ceramide production by up to 67%, directly strengthening the skin barrier. Combined with Sodium Hyaluronate and Hydrolyzed Silk in SILK NIACINAMIDE, it creates a triple-action system for clarity, smoothness, and protection.

## Key benefits

Boosts ceramide production, strengthening your skin's natural moisture barrier. Visibly reduces the appearance of pore size and refines skin texture. Evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark spots. Calms redness and soothes inflammation. Increases skin hydration by improving moisture retention. Protects against UV-induced damage and supports skin cell renewal. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, and rosacea-affected skin.

## Science notes

Water-soluble form of Vitamin B3. Mechanism: restores cellular NAD+ pool and mitochondrial energetics. Stimulates keratin synthesis and ceramide production. Inhibits melanosome transfer, reducing the appearance of uneven pigmentation. Clinical trials show visible improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and elasticity after 12 weeks of use. Works synergistically with Sodium Hyaluronate and Hydrolyzed Silk. Excellent tolerability profile.
