B Vitamin Hype:
With Ambitions of Fighting Acne, Rosacea and Tumors, What Can This
Vitamin Really Do For You?
07/27/07
by: Naweko San-

Vitamin B is no small time player in the high stakes game of the
beauty. Just take the case of pellagra for example. Pellagra is a life
threatening skin disease characterized by dementia, diarrhea, and
dermatitis that results from a niacin (B vitamin) deficiency. In the
early 20th century in the United States pellagra plagued thousands of
people in the South and Midwest. The condition was thought to be
contagious until investigators discovered the underlying nutritional
deficiency.
Even today, the importance of vitamin B is cultivating new roles
in the world of beauty. Dermatologist Leslie Baumann, MD forecasts
topical vitamin B and its multiple derivatives as key ingredients in
future anti-aging products. For example, one derivative of the B
vitamin niacin, nicotinamide, has been shown to improve the ability of
the epidermis, the upper-most layer of the skin, to retain moisture.
One study reports that topical nicotinamide, when applied to the skin
for six days reveals softer, smoother skin with less dryness and
flakiness, and a reduction of fine lines. Even more promising is its
anti-cancer influences. For instance, when applied to mouse skin,
topical nicotinamide produced a 70 percent decrease in ultraviolet-
induced skin cancer.
Niacinamide, another byproduct of vitamin B, serves as an
effective skin-lightening agent. In one clinical investigation,
patients with hyperpigmentation applied a moisturizer containing five
percent niacinamide. Four weeks later, computer analysis of the
hyperpigmentation and skin color revealed a decrease in
hyperpigmentation along with an increase in skin lightness. Topical
niacinamide also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it
a potential treatment for acne, rosacea and any blistering-type
disease.
Dermatologist Zoe Diana Draelos, MD, clinical associate
professor of dermatology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine,
Winston-Salem, N.C. is confident that praise for the therapeutic
effects of niacinamide will continue to rise. Dr. Draelos hails,
"Already, topical 4% niacinamide has been shown to be beneficial in
the treatment of papular and pustular acne in a 4% gel, as well as the
improvement of skin cancer and its anti-tumor characteristics".
Dr. Baumann cautions that the many versions of one vitamin can
be confusing and recommends speaking with your dermatologist to ensure
you are selecting the right vitamin product for your skin care needs.
While its comforting to place a host of cosmetic aspirations in
the latest beauty craze, Mother Natures wisdom will never lead you
astray. If you cant wait to get the benefits of B vitamins in your
beauty cream, just go to your local market and help yourself to some
chicken, tuna, potatoes, spinach, asparagus, black beans and
watermelon. These are just of few of the foods providing bountiful
servings of vitamin B. Remember, these scores of medical insights and
promises started with a nutritional deficiency.
