The cherry on top? Niacinamide can also help build keratin, a protein that keeps skin firm.

When incorporating niacinamide into your routine, look out for concentration amounts. Typically, 5% niacinamide provides benefits such as fading dark spots. However, if you have sensitive skin, it is better to begin with a smaller concentration.

Niacinamide can be mixed with other ingredients to boost benefits. For instance, it has shown to be effective when used with copper, folic acid, and zinc to treat acne.

It's a very convenient product as it can be used on the eye area and the entire face, I'm using it on my entire face as an introduction to retinoids as I noticed my first fine lines. It's not very irritating, I only had problems when I used it three times in a row in an attempt to see what the ideal frequency was. The results are visible mainly in fine lines and skin texture, it's really useful. However, I saw no difference in my dark circles.
