| Olay Regenerist is an award winning range based on Niacinamide |
If you look closely on the reverse side of many popular body lotions, creams, soaps, and other skin care products you will often find that NIACINAMIDE
appears otften. This substance is one of the most important of all skin care
ingredients.
It is also know as Vitamin B3 (which is actually a combination of
niacin and niacinamide)
Niacinamide reduces pore size and as a result improves
elasticity of the skin. This is important in fighting wrinkles and aging skin. This elasticity also results in smoother skin. Another benefit of niacinamide is that it fights free radicals (see the next post). Free radicals are
associated with aging, acne and skin damage. The conglomerate Proctor & Gamble (P&G)
are global leaders in skin care research. Niacinamide is used
extensively in the P&G brand "Olay".
Natural sources of niacinamide include fish, eggs, green
vegetables, cereals, grains, yeast and meat (beef liver and kidney).
