Introducing NIA 24® Niacin-Powered Skin Therapy PreDamage. PostDamage. UnDamage. Whom You Know Recommends NIA 24

The damaging effects of the sun (including UVA and UVB rays) wreak havoc on the skin, manifesting in the form of hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and a lack of firmness.  The reality is that over time, photo-aging can break down the skin by damaging the DNA, leaving it vulnerable to a myriad of insults and stresses.  Unless measures are taken to counteract the UV damage, skin’s overall health and appearance could be compromised.  Peachy Deegan admits that she was once an overzealous sun worshiper and can remember having skin the same shade of the Hawaiian Tropic girl for about 4 months of the year.  Year after year too!  It's time for Peachy and everyone to start making amends for such behavior!

Luckily, Niadyne Inc., has developed a new, cutting-edge, patented Niacin molecule called Pro-Niacin®, the main ingredient in the NEW! NIA 24® skin care line. Pro-Niacin penetrates the lower layers of the skin to stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes to fix DNA damage and helping the skin to heal itself.  Peachy Deegan has tested and tried four of these products and is very happy with the results!

Pro-Niacin – A Breakthrough for Your Skin

Twenty five years of research has gone into the development of Pro-Niacin. Contained in a patented continuous delivery system, Pro-Niacin enables the power of Vitamin B3 (Niacin) to be delivered deep into the layers of the skin, rebuilding and reconditioning it from the inside out. Since the molecule is fat soluble, it is able to penetrate into the skin and while on its way, is converted by enzymes to an active form of Niacin which: 

• Helps stimulate DNA repair by encouraging the skin’s natural repair process
• Energizes skin to promote healthy skin function
• Stimulates the release of a hormone called Leptin – known to activate the skin’s natural wound-healing response, resulting in a strengthened epidermal skin layer and overall increased integrity of the skin
• Strengthens the skin’s barrier, which over time becomes thinner and weaker thereby altering the skin’s ability to protect itself from environmental assault. When the barrier is damaged, skin also loses its ability to retain moisture.

Clinical Studies Confirm Efficacy of Pro-Niacin

When the skin’s Niacin content is increased, the skin barrier is strengthened, moisture retention is improved, cell turnover is increased and photoprotection is enhanced.  During research partially funded by the National Institutes of Health, scientists identified an important role for the active form of Niacin in how cells respond to genetic damage.  In fact, Pro-Niacin is so effective, it has been chosen by the National Cancer Institute for development as a potential skin cancer prevention agent.

In clinical studies, patients have seen dramatic results with daily use of the NIA 24 skin care line:

• 90% reduction in hyperpigmentation
• 82% improvement in texture
• 81% improvement in tone
• 80% increase in skin smoothness
• 68% reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• 53% improvement in skin firmness

The NIA 24 skin care line is especially useful for women and men undergoing chemical peels, laser treatments, microdermabrasion, cryo therapy or the use of tretinoins.  It is a major primary preventive treatment against sun damage and offers several different formulations including:

• Gentle Cleansing Cream– an easy-to-use, rich cream cleanser, ideal for dry and/or sensitive skin types, that replenishes moisture to the skin, while removing surface impurities. 5 FLUID OZ. / 150 ml, $30.00.  Whom You Know has tested this and recommends this product.  It is creamy, effective, and leaves you feeling refreshed and improved.

• Physical Cleansing Scrub– an all-in-one cleansing scrub that removes dead skin cells helping to wash away skin’s visible imperfections.  3.75 FLUID OZ. / 110 ml, $35.00  Whom You Know has also tested this and we recommend it.  The gentle cleansing does really get rid of the dead skin cells and we think this is great to use a few times a week, alternating with the above Gentle Cleansing Cream for a winner of a face overall!

• Skin Strengthening Complex– a fortified cream that visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by enhancing the skin’s barrier function, accelerating repair and delivering continual moisturization.  1.7 FLUID OZ. / 50 ml, $85.00

• Intensive Recovery Complex- a luxuriously rich cream that is clinically shown to visibly improve the skin’s texture and tone and reduce hyperpigmentation.1.7 FLUID OZ. / 50 ml, $110.00  We have tested this as a night cream at Whom You Know and think the creamy formula is fabulously effective.  The richness and moisture it delivers is superior in the marketplace and of the four products we tested, we like this one the best.

• Sun Damage Prevention 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30– a dual action sun damage prevention and all mineral sunscreen in a weightless, oil-free lotion that absorbs instantly for complete UV protection.  2.5 FLUID OZ. / 75 ml, $45.00.  Whom You Know has tried this and it is a great day moisturizer.  Admittedly, as Peachy is in Manhattan at the moment she has not tried this in the blazing sun yet, but remember even when you think you might not need sunsceen, you do.   Especially those of you on the ski slopes!

• NEW! Eye Repair Complex- an ultra-rich eye cream that quickly penetrates to deliver critical anti-aging, firming and brightening benefits while building the delicate skin barrier around the eye.  .5 FLUID OZ. / 15 ml, $65.00

• Sun Damage Repair for Décolletage and Hands- a nutrient-rich anti-aging body repair cream that delivers intensive moisture while improving the appearance of photo-damage on the décolletage, shoulders and hands. 5 FLUID OZ. / 150 ml, $55.00
