What the science says
Most studies found niacinamide helped acne, often about as well as clindamycin applied to the skin, though a few found no clear difference 1. For dark spots, all four direct studies found it faded them and beat a moisturizer without niacinamide, so this use has some evidence behind it 2. Two studies on aging found it improved firmness, wrinkles, and water retention, and this concern also has some evidence 3.
