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.

What the science says
Niacinamide has some evidence for acne, with most studies finding it helped and often matching clindamycin applied to the skin 1. For dark spots, niacinamide has some evidence of fading patches, and all four studies that tested it directly saw improvement 2. Anti-aging research has some evidence of firmer, better-hydrated skin, though only two studies tested it directly 3. For the skin barrier, the evidence is not proven yet, resting on a single direct study that showed less water loss 4.
