Benefits of Niacinamide Serum In Reducing Post-Acne Marks

Many of us have experienced the frustration of dealing with post-acne marks.

You’ve waited patiently for your breakout to heal. The last of those pesky pimples have finally gone, but in its wake are those stubborn dark spots that seem intent on staying!

Those dark spots / post-acne marks are often referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

When your skin experiences inflammation (such as from a pimple), mediators are released signalling your body to produce more melanin (the pigment that gives your skin colour).

This is your body’s natural response to protect your skin from further damage and inflammation. However, in the case of PIH, this process becomes dysregulated leading to an over-production of melanin and subsequent darkening of the skin.

While these darker spots and marks are typically “temporary”, epidermal PIH can last somewhere between 6 to 12 months (or more). While PIH is not harmful, they can affect your confidence and feel like an uphill battle to treat.

Peels and harsh actives are sometimes looked to as treatment for these post-acne marks and spots, but they can lead to further irritation and breakouts, particularly for those with sensitive skin.

The good news is, you don’t have to resort to harsh, stripping treatments to get your glow back.

There’s a much gentler (and smarter) way to fade those post-acne marks. 

It makes use of science-backed ingredients that your skin will actually love. 

Niacinamide is the powerhouse ingredient you want to reach for when it comes to fading dark spots, evening out skin tone, and calming irritation, without harsh side effects.

Niacinamide, also known as Nicotinamide, is a biologically-active form of Vitamin B3. This means it’s directly involved in the body's essential functions including cellular energy production, metabolic regulation, DNA repairs and synthesis and supports over 200 enzymatic reactions.

When applied topically, research has shown that Niacinamide improves skin barrier function, balance oil production, supports hydration, calms redness and irritation, and reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines.

It’s the best skin harmoniser on the market - meaning it helps your complexion stay clear, strong and balanced.
