CLINICAL RESULTS
Proven to promote healthy aging
5% topical niacinamide in a 12-week split-face study showed statistically significant improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and skin elasticity. Bissett et al. (2004 & earlier works)
5% niacinamide significantly reduced melanosome transfer (the key step in pigmentation) and improved facial hyperpigmentation after 4 weeks. Hakozaki et al. (2002)
Multiple acne trials (e.g., 5% niacinamide gel vs 2% clindamycin) demonstrated comparable lesion reduction via anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating pathways.
HOW TO USE
Noticeable, cumulative results
Apply a half to one pump on clean skin morning and/or evening, alone as an oil free moisturiser, or under your daily facial oil or cream.
Inspired by the Japenese phrase “kime ga ii”
One of the most sincere and desired compliments you can give a Japanese woman about her skin. It means her skin is radiant, with small pores and a refined, silky-smooth texture, with overall healthy complexion.
