- Prevent melanin from depositing into keratinocytes - Skin will darken when melanin is delivered to keratinocytes. But Nicotinamide can act on generated melanin, and then efficiently prevent the transfer of 35% to 40% of melanin from melanocytes to horny cells. Hence, it can lessen excessive pigmentation. Clinical tests have suggested that Nicotinamide face cream can obviously reduce the brown spots ‘ number and area.
- Accelerate the metabolism of melanocytes - Nicotinamide is directly absorbed by cells owing to its small molecules. Nicotinamide can penetrate the inner layer of the skin within 2 hours. Using Nicotinamide to the skin can form energy molecules in human body quickly. It can penetrate the stratum corneum to the connective tissue and fibers between the dermis; and then it directly gets in the bottom of the cell to facilitate the metabolism of cells.
- Promote synthesis of cortical proteins on skin - Nicotinamide synthesizes protein on the surface of skin. And it amends skin texture, and moisturizes skin. In 1990, European Patent 0-396-422 shows that it can whiten skin and exert sun block effect to add Nicotinamide, 0.1% to 5% silicone compound and UVA, UVB sunscreen into the cream formulation.
