Clinical Studies
Niacinamide reduces the amount of melanin produced by cultured normal human melanocytes and in a 3D tanned epidermis
model. The amount of melanin is reduced by 18%~22% in cultured melanocytes after 5 days incubation with niacinamide, a
similar decrease to that observed in the presence of the positive control, 0.01% kojic acid, assayed in the same experiment.
Niacinamide reduced the endothelin-1 protein level expressed by cultured keratinocytes, in the presence or absence of UVB
exposure. In the absence of UVB, endothelin-1 protein levels decreased by ~60% after incubation with 0.1% niacinamide, for
24 hours. Exposure of cultured cells to 30mJ/cm2 UVB caused endothelin-1 levels to increase, with levels dropping slightly
below baseline in the presence of 0.1% niacinamide.

Niacinamide maintains the skin microbiota balance by selectively inhibiting C. acnes, and little to no effect on the other two
commensal species present, S. epidermidis and S. hominis
