From your reading your blog and forum I found out that there is some evidence that Niacinamide has anti-aging skin effects.
It seems like it is one of the top ingredients in Olaz day cream.Why would not they promote is anti-aging then? Does niacinamide has other good qualities?Thank you
Niacinamide is a great anti-aging ingredient – check out this post for more info: http://thebeautybrains.com/2014/03/11/which-anti-aging-ingredients-really-work-the-beauty-brains-show-episode-21/I guess you’d have to ask P&G why they don’t promote it. Olay uses niacinamide in a number of products and maybe they just want them to have different claims.
Niacinamide, Niacin, and B3, is a catch 22 for me. As I say this, I’m tempted, nope, am singing the theme song from the 80’s TV show, “The Facts of Life”. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and there you have niacinamide, niacinamide! Haha…. I need a social life.
Anyways. Yes, it has a lot of AMAZING properties, and there has been some great studies…. in other countries of course, for it’s amazing properties from acne, to anti aging.
But there is some evidence relating to it targeting Parkinson’s Disease http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25455298
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25399625
it’s is an antigen as an allergy to some people, which is totally understandable.
Me? I am the kind of gal that dislikes uncertainty. What I don’t like is the unknown of this chemical, those were just the studies I knew about last time I read up, now there is tons more, . I hope that helps!
I forgot this for the tons more studies part! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=niacinamide
