A calming serum is an amazing addition to your daily skincare routine if you find yourself struggling with redness due to sensitive or dry skin.
Maelove's NIA 10 Calming Serum is a carefully formulated serum containing 10% niacinamide to soothe the skin, reduce redness, and strengthen the protective layers of your skin.
The NIA 10 Calming Serum is enhanced with other skin-soothing ingredients, such as white tea, Zinc, vitamin E, aloe, and mushroom extracts. The combination of ingredients boosts the serum’s ability to soothe redness, improve the skin's moisture content, enhance elasticity, and improve texture and tone.
Although the benefits of the niacinamide serum are pronounced, many people are still not sure how this innovative ingredient does the job.
How Niacinamide Soothes Redness
Niacinamide, the main ingredient in Maelove's NIA 10 Skin Soothing Serum, is the secret behind the product's calming effects.
Before we get into the details of how it does its job, though, we want you to understand exactly what niacinamide is.
What Is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide, or nicotinamide, is a stable form of vitamin B3 that you can apply to your skin to target various skin conditions and improve its appearance.
The ingredient is among the most researched and studied skincare ingredients and thus can be found in various skincare products, including cleansers, toners, serums, oils, creams, and sunscreen.
Of all these vitamin B3 carriers, serums are the best because they are the most effective at targeting various skin concerns and delivering a high concentration of active ingredients to the skin.
We must also mention that niacinamide is water soluble and will be more readily absorbed by the skin when applied as a water-soluble serum.
The vitamin has a variety of well-documented benefits for your skin. These include:
- Powering cell reproduction
- Promoting keratin renewal
- Reducing irritation
- Soothing redness
- Correcting hyperpigmentation
- Eliminating fine lines and wrinkles
The reason most people reach out for beauty products containing vitamin B3 is to soothe redness and reduce skin irritation and inflammation.
Below are some of these properties we believe make NIA 10 very effective at soothing redness:
Niacinamide Has Skin-Brightening Properties
The active ingredient plays a significant role in the production of pigment formation cells—melanocytes.
As a result, it can help fight discoloration, reduce leftover red acne scars, and promote a fairer and more even skin tone.
It also helps to prevent the transfer of skin pigmentation, which aids in reducing dark spots and redness.
When used over time, the NIA 10 serum can make your skin tone and complexion clearer, brighter, and more youthful.
Reduces Inflammation
Vitamin B3 has strong anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce redness and blotchiness caused by acne, eczema, rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
Redness is also common among people with dry skin and using Maelove's Calming Serum can help to regulate the amount of oil produced by the sebaceous glands. This promotes moisture retention and reduces inflammation, keeping your skin glowing for longer.
Topical niacinamide also helps to strengthen and repair the outer layer of the skin, which boosts its anti-inflammatory effects.
Antioxidizing Properties
The star ingredient in Maelove's Calming Serum helps combat free radicals and protect skin cells from internal and environmental stressors, such as environmental stressors and sunlight.
The extra ingredients in the serum, which include zinc, white tea extract, and mushroom extract, also help fight against the stressors that are prone to causing discoloration, redness, and signs of premature aging.
Gentle on Skin
NIA 10 is a gentle serum that's non-irritating and safe for people of all ages and with different skin types. It is compatible with many popular skincare ingredients, such as retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E.
NIA 10 was specially formulated for people with sensitive skin and those who struggle with experimenting with new skincare ingredients. Thus, it helps with product transitions while sparing you the redness and irritation you'd normally experience.
It’s also a great alternative for people who dislike the drying effects of vitamin C. For these reasons, many dermatologists and aestheticians recommend niacinamide products to people with sensitive skin and inflammatory skin conditions, such as rosacea and eczema.
Protects Against Sun Damage
Vitamin B3 is a potent and effective ingredient for people looking to reduce redness caused by sun exposure.
Treats Acne
Niacinamide is a non-irritating acne treatment that's best used for severe and inflammatory acne types, such as pustules and papules.
The topical version effectively reduces lesions and redness, and it improves skin texture. The oral version is a good option when a patient is unable to tolerate oral acne medications such as antibiotics.
This superstar ingredient also lowers sebum production because excess sebum or oil can cause breakouts in people with oily or acne-prone skin.
Excellent Skin Conditioner
Topical niacinamide application can help to renew or restore the skin's surface or ceramide layer. When this layer is restored, the skin is able to prevent water loss, retain moisture, and stay fresh and hydrated. This is especially beneficial if you have dry, acne-prone, irritated, or inflamed skin.
Additionally, niacinamide combines very well with common moisturizing ingredients and boosts their ability to keep your skin hydrated while preventing redness, flakiness, and tightness.
