Possibly — but there are few reports. 100% of 6 people who reported on Niacinamide for skin & hair say it improved. 0% noticed no change and 0% say it got worse.
“In my experience, niacinamide (not niacin) 1000-1500mg a day worked wonders in about 5-7 days.”
“Niacinamide is a great anti acne supplement. I take it orally, 1500 mg a day in one slow release tablet. It's completely changed my life! I'm so much less oily now”
“Niacinamide (500mg/day) had an incredible effect for me. I had frequent small pimples and an uneven skin tone... It was an ongoing issue for a long time and I tried a lot of things, until I found this.”
Conclusion: Oral nicotinamide should be considered in healthy patients or organ transplant recipients with history of skin cancer (GRADE: weak recommendation; moderate-quality evidence), in particular of BCC and cSCC.
Conclusion: Retinoids, hydroxy acids and broad-spectrum sunscreen were supported by the greatest number of high-quality studies. Ongoing inflammation may be subtle, especially in darker skin phenotypes. Herein, we proposed an evidence-based algorithm for PIH based on the high-quality studies. There is a need to adopt a validated outcome measure for PIH to better compare efficacy between various treatments in future studies.
Based on few reports — treat as anecdotal. Information only — not medical advice. How we count
