| Pros: | soothing, evens skin tone, reduces (eliminates?) outbreaks, great for sensitive skin |
| Cons: | none |
| Bottom Line: | I've been using niacinamide for a month, and I am amazed. My skin is extremely sensitive - I break out or get flakey skin from nearly any OTC product. In fact, the only thing I can use on my skin is apple cider vinegar, diluted to about 20:1. Then I found some references to niacinamide on [link removed], and figured I'd try it (I've tried nearly everything else). I haven't had a break-out in 2 weeks, and my skin is looking more 'soothed' and mono-toned (I had patches of reddish and yellowish skin).
The product I'm using is called 'metazene' from LifeLink. It uses aloe vera as the base, which may explain why it is soothing.
I also notice a correlation between acne and sugar (most fruit is ok), but that is for another topic :). |

I take this in the vitamin pill form as well, called Nicomide. Whenever I mention this pill people always say "I didn't know you smoke" like I'm on something to help me stop smoking. Which got old real quick. Then I tried to add that it was a type of vitamin and had folic acid in it, then people think I'm pregnant or something. Not really a side effect, but I thought I would share. :)
Anyway I didn't feel that this did anything for my skin, but it was really nice since I didn't have any side effects, it was a lot more natural than most medications. My derm dr said it would take a longer time to notice results, but I also switched drs.
The whole bottle cost something like $18 from the pharmacy which was nice. I had to take it twice a day, and I could take it with other medications. I was also on a topical medication while using this, but my acne is stubborn.
