| Sorry, but I haven't heard of this before. It sounds interesting because you can use it safely during the summer and not have to deal with photo-sensitivity issues. |

| I haven't ever seen that, but there is a drugstore brand available here in Seattle that uses niacinamide as its main ingredient. I tried using their scrub for a while, but it smelled exactly the way gross multivitamins taste, and I never really noticed a significant improvement. But I didn't use their spot-treatment (didn't like the unsanitary applicator). I can try to keep an eye out for the brand and mention it if you want. |

| I'll do what I can! I only ever saw them at a certain location of a certain drugstore franchise that's nowhere near my new workplace, haha, but I will keep my eyes peeled. I'm always curious about new acne-fighting ingredients! |

Okay, so it took me my sweet time to find my old product from the line I was talking about that uses niacinamide as the active ingredient, but I finally found it! It's called "Naturally Clear", and they're based out of Sisters, OR (USA) so that might be why only I've ever heard of them.  The only products I had tried were the scrub and the acne blemish stick. The stick I found to be unhygienic since I don't like applicators that you have to rub directly onto your acne-ridden skin. The scrub was nice and felt fairly effective, but I couldn't handle the smell - smelled like the way a multi-vitamin tastes, yech! Anyway, if people are desperate to try this line I wouldn't mind doing a CP, but I don't know what their line is like - try Googling it and let me know if there's something in particular you want. I'd do it myself but I'm on a friend's computer getting ready (before a full weekend of shopping in adorable Portland, yay!) so I'm pressed for time and I can't stand this keyboard.  HTH! --ginnielizz |

Thanks for going through all the trouble in searching for that skincare line.
The website is --- http://www.naturallyclear.com
They dont list the ingredients on their website and its not a mainstream brand such as Proactiv. They say on their website that to be fully effective, you have to take the multi-vitamins...and that kinda makes me not want to go on their regime, as I hate taking pills  |

| Hi, I make my own niacinamide gel using aloe vera gel and niacinamide - thats all. I make it 4% niacinamide - purchased from lotioncrafter.com. It seems to help quite a bit with the acne but what I'm really impressed with is the oil control. I can now go for a few hours between blotting where as before it was every half hour or so. HTH.

| yeah yeah, If you're looking for product where niaciamide is the active ingredient, take a look at NIA24. There are a few reviews of that line here on EDS; and it sounds vera, vera interesting. The only thing that stops me from trying it out is that I'm pretty content with my current products and don't want to ruin a good thing. I may give NIA24 sunblock a try once I run out of my current supply, however. |
