What is NIA 24™?

Repair is never as good as prevention, particularly in skin care. Tap into skin's own self-protective power 24-hours a day with patented NIA 24™ -- the first inside-out topical Niacin-Powered skin barrier-builder.

Inside, this patented MicroNutrient Delivery system brings a continuous-release form of Niacin to skin. Outside, skin's barrier is restored and signs of damage dramatically reversed.

Designed like a medical protocol in three courses of action -- pre-damage action, p[ro-cative repair, and an antidote to diagnosed problems -- this system works together to prevent, repair and fight signs of damage deep in the skin.

What does MicroNutrient Delivery mean?

MicroNutrient Delivery allows ingredients known to be beneficial to go beyond topical application, penetrating the epidermis in a slow, continuous-release, allowing time for the molecule to bio-convert to its working form.

Who's it for?

NIA 24™ is ideal for any patient, both female and male, who sees--or doesn't want to see--the premature signs of aging, from lines to age spots. As a skin strengthener, it's also a necessary companion for those undergoing serious skin care or procedures.

When your skin needs it:

• Sun Damage
• Hyperpigmentation
• Actinic Keratosis
• Atopic skin susceptible to skin problems.

When your skin demands it:

• Using retinols or other skin care products containing AHAs.
• Receiving chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapy and/or other resurfacing treatments.

NIA 24™ and your skin.

NIA 24™ products were extensively tested for skin compatibilty, allergic response, efficacy and were also proven to be non-comedogenic.

By nature, Niacin increases circulation to help generate more vital cellular regeneration. You may feel a warmth or blush upon first application. This is proof that Pro-Niacin is hard at work to help stimulate natural repair processes to renew healthy skin cells, energize skin to promote healthy skin function and a more vital appearance, and to strengthen the skin barrier for overall resilience and improved damage resistance. As your skin barrier increases, absorption will stabilize and blushjing should subside.

While some patients will experience products differently than others, more sensitive skins often require 7 to 10 days of adjustment to a new regimen.

If skin changes behavior in that time, consider an introductory regimen, slowly adding products every other day with a light application, gradually increasing use until the full regimen is incorporated over 10 days.

The results are worth the wait.

Some may experience:

First Blush
A warming sensation that can lead to redness or irritation. Follow an introduction regimen and apply a cool compress to soothe skin (see 'NIA 24™ and your skin' section noted above).

Initial Breakout
As skin adjusts, a breakout may occur due to temporarily increased sebaceous activity. If this happens, follow the recommended introductory regimen (see 'NIA 24™ and your skin section noted above).

Dryness
Depending on environmental and dermal moisture levels, skin can experience increased dryness. The barrier's ability to retain moisture and resist damage inside can make surface skin feel dry. Following NIA 24™ products with a non-active moisturizer can help.

Ask your Doctor about NIA 24™.

Gentle and beneficial for nearly every patient, NIA 24™ products are a necessary daily protocol for those choosing the most effective treatment regimens or procedures, as well as anyone with a history of sensitized skin or even sun worship.

Proof that it works.

The Pro-Niacin molecule breakthrough is the result of 25 years of research into the cellular DNA damage in the formation of cancer. So beneficial, it's been chosen by the National Cancer Institute for development as a potential skin cancer prevention agent.

Skin's better outside.

In clinical studies, patients see dramatic differences in just 90 days:

90% reduction in hyperpigmentation
82% improved skin texture
81% increased skin smoothness
80% improved skin tone
68% reduction in fine lines & wrinkles
53% improved firmness

What you'll see. What you'll stop seeing.

• Improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun damage and brown spots.
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles.
• Improve skin tone, texture & firmness.
• See stronger skin with a better self-defense against the visible signs of sun damage and moisture loss.

Skin's stronger inside.

In 12 weeks, skin biopsy analysis shows skin is stronger, firmer and healthier looking with greater integrity. Skin barrier is improved with a stronger stratum corneum and epidermal layers, as well as a tighter cellular matrix.

Pro-Niacin works continuously and its results are proven to:

• Help stimulate natural repair processes to renew healthy skin cells.
• Energize skin to promote healthy skin function and a more vital appearance.
• Strengthen the skin barrier for overall reslilience and improved damage resistance.
