for Acne
Topical 5% niacinamide serum applied once or twice daily to reduce sebum production, inflammation and post-acne marks.
How it works
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) reduces sebaceous gland activity, decreases inflammatory cytokines in skin, and inhibits melanin transfer (reducing post-acne hyperpigmentation).
What to watch for
Well tolerated by most skin types including sensitive skin. Can be used alongside most other acne treatments. Available in many over-the-counter formulations.
