About

A five-amino-acid peptide with a niacin (B3) group attached. Used at micro-doses for brightening and skin-conditioning; generally mild.

Nicotinoyl pentapeptide-33 is a synthetic pentapeptide functionalized with a nicotinoyl group derived from niacin (vitamin B3). It pairs peptide chemistry with niacinamide-like effects such as brightening and barrier support. Used in leave-on skincare at ppm concentrations. Nicotinic acid derivatives may cause transient flushing in some users through prostaglandin-mediated vasodilation. No SCCS or CIR review for this specific peptide exists; efficacy data is supplier-generated. No GHS hazards apply at cosmetic use levels.
