What the science says
Niacinamide has some evidence behind fading dark spots, since all four studies that tested it directly found it helped them fade 1. For acne, most studies found it helped, though some research showed uncertain or no clear results, so the evidence is some evidence overall 2. Two studies on aging reported firmer skin and fewer wrinkles, and that evidence is also some evidence 3. Its effect on the skin barrier is not proven yet, since only one study tested it directly 4.
- Niacinamide for hyperpigmentation Some evidence · 17 studies
