Niacinamide boosts hydration and glow; Reddit loves it, studies find acne results uncertain.

This milky niacinamide toner gives dry, tret-treated skin a dewy hydration layer and works nicely under makeup. Redditors love the plump finish, but studies found topical niacinamide’s acne results uncertain, and sensitive or congested skin often reports stinging or breakouts.
