Helen’s note
There isn’t one person who doesn’t need topical vitamin B for optimum skin health. Build up to XCell B after 3 months use of Vitamin B.

Synergie Skin
XCell B Vitamin B Serum with 21% Niacinamide
£94 30ml
The next step up from Vitamin B, with 21% niacinamide. Add superoxide dismutase to protect, pro-vitamin B5 to steady the barrier and soothe, and betaine to keep water balanced, and you get stronger, clearer, calmer skin. Use Vitamin B for about three months first, then move up.
Key ingredients
Niacinamide (vitamin B3)
Stimulates epidermal ceramide (intercellular lipid) production to keep moisture in the skin, strengthen natural barrier function and improve hydration
Builds up the skin’s barrier: reduces sensitivity and combats flushing, red cheeks.
Stimulates collagen by topping up niacinamide (depleted by age) to keep fibroblasts working, for firmer, smoother skin and better elasticity.
Supports skin’s natural defences: helps protect against free radicals generated by UVA light.
Reduces existing hyperpigmentation and inhibits transfer of melanosomes (which carry melanin pigment) to the outer skin layer.
Reduces sensitivity to help eradicate temporary, superficial imperfections.
Reduces sebaceous oil production and the subsequent occurrence of acne.
A water-binding humectant that partners brilliantly with niacinamide to add moisture into the skin, improve softness and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD)
An enzymatic antioxidant, bioidentical to SOD found in human cells. SOD soothes the skin and helps combat against photoageing, leaving the skin healthy and more radiant.
Additional ingredients
The formulation also contains Sodium PCA and betaine, powerful skin hydrators that draw moisture to the skin, protect the skin barrier, reduce skin irritation and improve skin healing.
