What is Thiamidol
Patented and thoroughly researched, Thiamidol has entered the world of skincare with unprecedented efficacy. Thiamidol is primarily used to target different types of hyperpigmentation such as dark spots, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and even certain symptoms of melasma.
Thiamidol tackles pigmentation at its root - melanin production. Melanin is the pigment tasked with adding color to your eyes, hair, and skin. External factors such as UV rays or stress can lead to overproduction of this enzyme, leading to tan and pigmentation. Thiamidol works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin.
Owing to its minimal side effects and a very gentle mode of functioning, Thiamidol has become an adaptable skincare staple that can be paired with other actives as well. Thiamidol and Niacinamide together can be one such potent mix. The versatility of Thiamidol makes it suitable for daily use, morning or night, making it easy to pair with other actives. While it can be utilised with on-label guidelines, Thiamidol can be used with other popular pigment correctors even in a pulsed or cycling manner.
What is Niacinamide
Derived from vitamin B3, Niacinamide or Nicotinamide, is ideal for treating skin concerns like acne and hyperpigmentation. Both Thiamidol and Niacinamide are considered safe for topical use and effective treatments for clear skin. While it also works to tone down hyperpigmentation, Niacinamide functions differently when compared to Thiamidol.
Niacinamide takes action by interfering with the transfer of melanosomes - special organelles that help make and store melanin in skin, hair, and eyes. Niacinamide stops the transfer of these pigment-carrying cells to keratinocytes - the outermost protective cells on your skin.
Niacinamide is also a well-tolerated ingredient that is not generally subjected to oxidation or photolysis. It also helps with other collagen synthesis, reduction of acne, and helps old and young skin alike. These factors combine to make Thiamidol and Niacinamide ideal skincare solutions, especially for acne and acne-related hyperpigmentation.
