Can niacinamide stock solution remove freckles? The content of niacinamide determines its efficacy

Niacinamide is an ingredient contained in most whitening cosmetics. It has the effects of whitening, brightening skin tone, and improving rough skin. So can niacinamide stock solution remove freckles?

Can niacinamide remove freckles?

Theoretically, yes. Because niacinamide itself can accelerate skin metabolism, eliminate melanin, inhibit the production of new melanin, and lighten spots while whitening. However, it can only remove spots when it reaches a certain concentration, and in actual daily use, the skin cannot accept high concentrations.

The content of niacinamide determines its efficacy

In theory, niacinamide stock solution can remove freckles. However, the content of niacinamide determines its efficacy. Only the niacinamide stock solution containing more than 5% has the effect of whitening. In real life, most of the niacinamide stock solutions on the market are around 2% (this is also the concentration that our skin can accept). Most of this stock solution can only moisturize and improve rough skin, but it is difficult to whiten and brighten the skin tone, not to mention removing spots.

High concentrations of niacinamide can indeed better delay skin aging, and can also more effectively whiten skin tone, fade dark spots, moisturize and hydrate, among other effects. But this is only limited to theory! Actual skin care evaluation data shows that more than 5% niacinamide stock solution is considered a high concentration! But this skin is unacceptable. Therefore, when choosing a high-concentration niacinamide stock solution, you should consider your own skin tolerance.

The stock solution is a powerful nutrient, and the higher the content, the better it is not. A high content if not matched properly can cause sensitive skin phenomena such as dryness and redness. Therefore, when choosing niacinamide stock solution, you should first look at the content of the stock solution, and then conduct a simple skin test to see if it is suitable for you.
