One unfortunate thing about acne is that even after a breakout clears up, it doesnβt always result in clear skin. You can still be left with noticeable reminders of your zitty day in the form of dark marks, uneven texture, and redness.
Itβs frustrating, every time you look in the mirror. You did everything you were supposed to do to tame your acne β you didnβt pick, you used the right products β and your skin still isnβt fully clear. Why isnβt it working?
Why is this happening?
Post-acne marks are caused, as you might expect, by the acne blemishes youβve already defeated. Your body did its job, responding to all the inflammation and skin damage by producing more cells to help heal the wounds.
Unfortunately, sometimes your body works too well, making too many cells. When it produces too much collagen, you end up with a raised scar. When it makes too much melanin, you end up with a dark spot. And sometimes the damage goes so deep it leaves a divot in your skin.
Thatβs why your uneven skin and dark spots arenβt responding to your usual acne treatment: Your body put them there itself. But you can help target post-acne spots and smooth your skinβs texture with skin-clearing ingredients like Niacinamide.
What is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 β an essential nutrient your body needs to function. This version of the vitamin is one thatβs absorbed through the skin, usually as part of a lotion or serum, to deliver its restorative benefits right where you need them.
And it has a lot of benefits to deliver. Niacinamide is known to:
β’ Help reduce the look of redness and improve skin texture, for skin that looks smoother and more even.
β’ Help reduce the opportunity for more breakouts by keeping excess oils from clogging pores.
β’ Support your skin barrier, keeping the moisture in and the irritants out.
Which all sounds great, but you might still have the question:
What about my skin? Can Niacinamide help with my post-acne marks and dark spots β the ones Iβm starting to worry might be there forever?
Will it actually work?
