Nonapeptide Niacinamide Rejuvenating Serum

Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that belongs to the vitamin B complex family. It is a derivative of niacin (vitamin B3) and can be found in various foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, and green vegetables. When used in skincare, Niacinamide offers a host of advantages that make it a highly sought-after ingredient.

Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: Niacinamide helps to fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots, resulting in a more even complexion. It inhibits the transfer of melanin to the skin's surface, reducing the appearance of discolouration and giving your skin a radiant glow.

Boosts Hydration: Niacinamide reinforces the skin's moisture barrier, preventing moisture loss and improving hydration levels. This makes it an excellent choice for those with dry or dehydrated skin, restoring a healthy and plump appearance.

Reduces the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Studies have shown that Niacinamide stimulates collagen production, which improves skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps to strengthen the skin's structure, making it more resilient and youthful.

Controls Excess Oil and Minimises Pores: Niacinamide regulates sebum production, making it an excellent choice for those with oily or combination skin. By reducing oiliness, it helps to minimise the appearance of enlarged pores and gives your skin a smoother, more refined texture. Its anti-inflammatory properties also aid in calming acne-related redness and irritation.

Nonapeptide-1 is a small active peptide with nine amino acid chains, working to effectively clear and brighten the skin. The Nonapeptide-1 found in SumaNurica’s formulations is a patented ingredient developed using biotechnology to ensure similarity between the naturally occurring peptides found in our skin, and this synthesised ingredient. Not only does it brighten and clear the skin, but it also can block tyrosinase (an enzyme that produces melanin) from being activated, working to minimise acne, reduce discolouration, and smooth out skin tone.

By dividing the serums into smaller bottles, each containing 10ml, we ensure that the product remains fresh and potent. Opening and exposing a large bottle to air and light repeatedly can lead to faster degradation of the active ingredients. With our smaller bottle sizes, you use one at a time, keeping the remaining bottles sealed and protected until they are ready to be used. This helps to preserve the potency of the serum for a longer duration.

When choosing a serum, consider your specific skin concerns rather than your skin type. Start by reading the product information and find the benefits that align with the areas of concern for you. For example, hyaluronic acid is great for hydration, vitamin C helps with brightening, and retinol is effective for anti-ageing. It's important to read product descriptions and labels to find the serum that aligns with your skin's needs.

Yes, you can use multiple serums together, especially if you have multiple skin concerns. However, it's important to layer them properly to maximize their effectiveness. Start by applying the serum with the thinnest consistency first, allowing it to fully absorb into the skin before applying the next one. This ensures that each serum can penetrate and work effectively.

Please note - when using actives and acids, we suggest using them in a skin cycling regime (on alternative nights), as layering multiple actives can irritate your skin. If you're unsure about the compatibility of certain serums, it's always helpful to consult a skincare professional.
