This product contains a healthy dose of Niacinamide to help with dark spot issues. Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, has been shown to support healthy skin by forming a new ceramide (lipid barrier), resulting in healthier skin. It also aids in the treatment of pimple blemishes.
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinamide, is a water-soluble vitamin that works with the skin's natural substances to distinctly minimize enlarged pores, tighten loose or stretched out pore sizes, enhance uneven complexion, relax fine lines and wrinkles, reduce dullness, and reinforce damaged skin.
Niacinamide also lessens the effect of environmental damage through enhancing the skin's barrier. It also aids in the repair of past skin damage.
Turmeric prevents skin cells from clogging pores. Due to its antiseptic and antibacterial properties, it can effectively stop the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
INSPIRATION: The color of this product reminded me of the yellow brick road. My first role on stage as a child was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.
