What the science says
Niacinamide, the main active in this cream, has some evidence for helping acne, with most studies finding it worked about as well as clindamycin when applied to the skin 1. For dark spots, all four direct studies found it faded patches and worked better than a moisturizer without it, so the evidence here is also rated some evidence 2. Research on aging also has some evidence, with studies showing better firmness and fewer wrinkles, while its effect on the skin barrier is not proven yet and rests on just one study 34.
