How to use it
From Reddit routinesWhat the science says
Niacinamide has some evidence behind it for fading dark spots, since all four direct studies saw patches lighten more than with a moisturizer lacking it 1. Most acne studies found niacinamide helped, though some found results uncertain, and this area has some evidence 2. Its anti-aging findings have some evidence too, with firmer, more hydrated skin and fewer wrinkles reported across the two direct studies 3. Its effect on the skin barrier is not proven yet, since only one study tested it directly 4.
