Technical Details & Test Data

Efficacy Testing: Niacinamide Effectively Reduces Appearance of Melasma, Comparable to Hydroquinone

Figure 1. Physicians Global Assessment of melasma improvement

Niacinamide appears to be a suitable alternative for treatment of melasma without the undesirable side effects of hydroquinone.

Five percent niacinamide reduces hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles and skin yellowing.

Five percent niacinamide gel is as effective as 2% clindamycin gel for treatment of acne vulgaris. Moreover, use of clindamycin may increase risk of development of antibiotic resistance whereas niacinamide does not.
