Niacinamide helps shield skin from sun damage, evens tone, reduces blotchiness, and refines texture. It also boosts skin immunity and collagen production, minimizing visible signs of aging.
Essential for skin health, zinc aids protein synthesis, wound healing, and acts as an antioxidant. It's crucial for keratin formation and collagen production, with zinc-dependent enzymes (collagenases) directly involved in creating the skin's structural protein.
