Hyaluronic acid can retain water in the tissues up to 1,000 times its weight. It plays an essential role in keeping the skin hydrated and making sure it stays plump and smooth.

Niacin (Vitamin B3) contributes to the maintenance of the skin while reducing tiredness and fatigue. It plays an important role in making sure your nervous system and mental functions work as intended.
