What the science says
Niacinamide has some evidence for acne, with most studies finding it worked about as well as an antibiotic acne treatment applied to the skin 1. Dark spots also have some evidence, since all four direct studies found it faded them 2. Its anti-aging effects have some evidence too, with studies reporting firmer, more elastic skin and fewer wrinkles 3. For the skin barrier, only one study has tested it, so the evidence is thin and not proven yet 4.
