Niacin vs Niacinamide

The key ingredient in Niacin is menthyl nicotinate (vitamin B3) which is significantly more potent than the traditional niacinamide most of us are familiar with. As it is oil soluble it penetrates the skin up to 8 times faster where it breaks down and releases pure niacin. This helps support the skins metabolism and repair cells. 

Methyl nicotinate also improves micro-circulation increasing the delivery of oxygen to skin cells. Finally it enhances penetration aiding the absorption of other ingredients in the skin. In Niacin from S:KØN Skincare this includes turmeric known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects.

Using Niacin as part of your daily skincare routine will leave you skin looking balanced with a healthy glow.
