Vitamin B

Deficiencies in B vitamins are often first seen in the skin, which can be in the form of redness, irritation, dermatitis or even pigmentation. This has lead skin care developers to enhance the use of topical Vitamin B to provide a wide range of skin benefits.

The most influential Vitamin B group in skin is B3 or niacinamide. It’s easily absorbed by the skin, so it gets straight to work deep in the layers of the skin where it’s needed, normalising the pH of the surface of the skin and increasing blood flow. This, in turn, means you receive more nutrients and oxygen to the skin, which simply helps with all skin functions.
