What is niacinamide and how does it work on the skin?
Niacinamide , also known as vitamin B3, is an extremely effective ingredient and is particularly used in dermo-cosmetics.
Moisturizer , facial serum, cleanser, toner, this extraordinary ingredient is recommended by dermatologists, thanks to its ability to take care of the skin quickly, effectively and safely.
Its strength? Its soothing, calming, and restorative properties help reduce inflammation and promote hydration thanks to its ability to retain more water. And just one application is enough to leave your skin feeling smooth and satiny soft.
But don't think its cosmetic benefits stop there. Niacinamide has numerous properties, and its effects on the skin make it an essential dermatological ingredient:
- Brightens and evens skin tone: Niacinamide helps reduce dark spots, promoting a more even and radiant complexion
- Strengthens and protects the skin barrier: By promoting the formation of essential lipids and ceramides, vitamin B3 strengthens the skin barrier, giving the skin greater resistance to damage caused by smog, dust and pollution.
- Soothing: Niacinamide reduces skin redness, relieving stressed and irritated skin.
- Moisture Retention: Niacinamide helps repair and restore the skin's lipid barrier (which prevents skin cells from rapidly losing moisture) and helps maintain skin hydration.
- Antioxidant and anti-aging action: vitamin B3 protects the skin from the action of radicals
free. This results in firmer, smoother and more elastic skin, with a reduction in fine lines.
- Sebum regulation and acne control : Niacinamide can help regulate sebum production and is therefore also useful for oily skin. By helping to mattify the infamous T-zone, it promotes a smoother complexion with fewer impurities.
Another positive note: adding that niacinamide is very well tolerated by sensitive skin and skin suffering from couperose or rosacea and by reactive skin.

Centella Asiatica in Korean and Asian cosmetics
Centella Asiatica, or simply Centella Asiatica, is a plant used primarily in Korea, China, and India for its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It delays skin aging and is increasingly found on the list of the best skincare ingredients.
The active ingredients of Centella Asiatica are: glycosides (saponins), triterpenic acids (asiatic acid), flavonoids (kemferol), phenolic acids, phytosterols, polysaccharides, monosaccharides (fructose, sucrose), amino acids (glycine), carotenoids, vitamin B, essential oils and vitamin C.
Centella has been used medicinally for thousands of years, particularly in Korea and China. It is the ultimate longevity plant and has been used successfully in the treatment of skin conditions.
But what are the effects of Centella asiatica in cosmetic products? In fact, it primarily has a positive effect on the proliferation (multiplication) of fibroblasts. What does this mean? Fibroblasts are cells found in the dermis and are responsible for the production of collagen and elastin, i.e., support proteins that are very important for the appearance of the skin because they influence its elasticity, smoothness, and firmness.
Centella stimulates and accelerates cell renewal and fights tissue damage by accelerating the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It also influences the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, which is responsible for maintaining proper skin hydration.
Its anti-wrinkle effect by increasing the firmness and density of the skin makes it one of the best ingredients in modern dermato-cosmetics.
