improved facial surface sebum and pore appearance - P&G Beauty ...

Conclusions
• Niacinamide and SDA reduced lipogenesis in an in vitro sebocyte
model (Fig. 1).
• In both Caucasian (Fig. 2) and Japanese women (Figs. 3 & 4), use of a
niacinamide-containing moisturizer reduced surface sebum levels as
well as the appearance of facial pores.
• Use of a moisturizer containing a combination of niacinamide & SDA
led to a significant reduction in surface sebum as compared to
niacinamide product alone (Fig. 5).
• The reduction in surface sebum was paralleled by reduction in uneven
skin texture and pores (Figs. 6 & 7). A majority of the panelists
reported their skin was less oily and had reduced uneven texture and
pores with the combination product.
• These results indicate that facial moisturizers containing cosmetic
ingredients such as niacinamide and SDA are valuable in reducing skin
surface sebum as well as the appearance of uneven facial texture and
pores.
