What the science says
Niacinamide has some evidence for fading dark spots, as all four studies that tested it directly found it helped, and it outperformed a moisturizer without it 1. For acne, most studies found niacinamide helped, sometimes about as well as clindamycin, though the support has some evidence behind it 2. Its anti-aging effects, including firmer skin and fewer wrinkles, also have some evidence, though they come from only two studies 3. For the skin barrier, one study found less water loss, but that finding is not proven yet, so the evidence is thin 4.
