Many people have realised some time after using the ordinary niacinamide that it didn’t really work well for their skin - 10% is actually a high percentage and the skin works well with 3-5% of niacinamide. Plus, it’s also really common in a lot of your other products! If you wish to still have a separate niacinamide product in your routine, I’d suggest something with 5%, like the purito or cos de baha products. If you want to try something other than niacinamide, salicylic acid is a good one! It will help both acne scars and excess oil. Just be careful not to overdo it with salicylic acid as it is an exfoiliant and too much exfoilaition can comprise the skin barrier and worsen breakouts.

TO Niacinamide never worked for my skin. I can recommend you some products that has Niacinamide as one of their ingredients so that your skin won't react badly. The products below have Niacinamide in their ingredients list and my skin experienced no irritations when using them.
