About

A two-amino-acid synthetic peptide N-conjugated to niacin — for skin conditioning. Generally well tolerated; mild flushing possible in sensitive users.

Nicotinoyl Dipeptide-24 is a synthetic dipeptide whose N-terminus is acylated with a nicotinoyl (niacin-derived) group. The intent is to combine peptide carrier behavior with niacin-related skin-conditioning effects. Niacin derivatives in cosmetics are widely used and generally well tolerated, though they can produce transient warmth or flushing in sensitive individuals at higher percentages. The peptide portion sits in the low-irritation, rapid-degradation regime. No CIR or SCCS opinion exists for this conjugate. Independent peer-reviewed efficacy data is essentially absent.
