Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide has been shown to help improve the appearance of surface-level discoloration and subdue oiliness. Niacinamide is compatible with any product in your skin care products, including products containing retinol, peptides, hyaluronic acid, fruit acid, BHA, vitamin C and all types of antioxidants.
Use it daily - it doesn't cause irritation or inflammation - and look for products that contain about 5% niacinamide, a percentage that has been shown to make a noticeable difference.
To address the appearance of dark spots and acne scars, we recommend that you try serums containing encapsulated retinol, ceramide and niacinamide. This lightweight option reduces the appearance of post-acne marks and enlarged pores and helps restore skin barrier and improve smoothness.
