Niactil Advanced Pro
A moisturising and strengthening gel-crem with gentle exfoliating properties.
It contains 4 % Niacinamide and 10 % Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA). It gently exfoliates, promote skin renewal, moisture and a more even skin tone. Perfect combination with all Elixir products, and a super “start-up” product for those who are new to Elixir.
For youthful skin it can be used by itself day and night, but for especially dry skin conditions, combine with Niactil 4% or Hydractil Lite Cream.
Aged skin often requires anti-aging and even more active ingredients, and Niactil Advanced Pro should therefore be combined with Retinext- and/or Hydractil-products, and sun protection for sufficient nourishment and care.
Explaining the active ingredients?
Polyhydroxy Acid, also called PHA-acids, can be considered a second generation of AHAs. The main difference is the size of the molecule. PHAs have a larger molecule and therefore don’t penetrate as deeply as an AHA when applied to the skin. This make PHAs less irritating and better for sensitive skin. The PHAs can lead to brighter, smoother, more hydrated skin, and provide an overall enhanced glow.
The most commonly used PHAs in cosmetics are Gluconolactone and Lactobionic Acid. Gluonolactone has several multitasking properties, which is why we have included it in Niactil Advnaced Pro.
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, with documented properties which strengthen the skin barrier, improve elasticity and curb redness, impurities, and inflammations. Vitamin B3 is an important active ingredient as it builds proteins in the skin, and better the delivery of energy to the cells. When we age, the natural levels of vitamin B3 drops, and the cells’ ability to repair and renew aggravates.
10 REASONS FOR INCLUDING NIACTIL ADVANCED PRO IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE:

4. Effective acne treatment
Studies show that 10-14% concentration of PHA, provides similar effects as 5% Benzoylperoksid, but with fewer side effects. PHAs are proven less irritating compared to AHAs and can therefore be combined with Tretinoin and Retinols. There’s also a lower risk associated with inflammatory acne.
