What the science says
Niacinamide has some evidence for fading dark spots, as all four direct studies found it helped and skin looked lighter 1. Acne results also show some evidence, with most studies finding it helped and often performing about as well as clindamycin applied to the skin 2. Signs of aging have some evidence too, with improved firmness and fewer wrinkles in the two direct studies 3. The skin barrier is not proven yet, with just one study showing less water loss, so the evidence is thin 4.
