NEW YORK, June 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- "Premature aging is often associated with an alteration in the skin barrier, redness, and dyspigmentation. A lot of my patients struggle to find products with ingredients that target all of these things," says Dr. Karan Lal. Hyperpigmentation, sun spots, sun damage and discoloration were some of the highest growing skincare concerns in 2022^¹, all consequences of premature skin aging. To visibly reduce dark spots and repair the skin barrier, La Roche-Posay is proud to introduce the newest addition to its beloved anti-aging serum profile - Niacinamide 10 Serum.

La Roche-Posay creates life-changing skincare solutions for all with products that are dermatologist-tested and backed by powerful anti-aging ingredients to restore and rebalance skin. Formulated with a high concentration of 10% pure niacinamide, Niacinamide 10 Serum is the first mass market niacinamide serum that is clinically proven to help reduce dark spots, clarify discolorations and rebalance the appearance of uneven skin tone. Up to 90% of visibly premature skin aging is caused by the sun, known as photoaging,^² and Niacinamide 10 Serum directly repairs signs of photodamage, targeting hyperpigmentation.

BRINGING INNOVATION WITH NIACINAMIDE

Widely known for its ability to soothe skin, niacinamide (also known as Vitamin B3) is a top 3 ingredient recommended by dermatologists^³. Often a secondary ingredient in skincare, Niacinamide 10 Serum leverages its full potential by repairing signs of photodamage.

"Niacinamide is a powerhouse ingredient that helps fade hyperpigmentation but also helps repair the skin barrier," says Dr. Lal. "Often in skincare, it is a bystander in small concentrations and plays little role in reducing dark spots. This new 10% niacinamide serum contains a high concentration, coupled with phenylethyl resorcinol, to go beyond skin-soothing benefits for visibly more even skin tone, while also being safe for all skin colors and types."

UVA and UVB light can stimulate an overproduction of free radicals, which can trigger visible skin effects including dark spots and discoloration. Niacinamide 10 Serum inhibits this melanin from rising to the skin's surface, therefore helping to reduce dark spots.
