Niacinamide concentration may irritate sensitive skin
High niacinamide levels not suitable for everyone

What the gurus are saying

The 10% niacinamide here sits on the high end, and at that concentration it carries real irritation risk for those sensitive to it. However, most people tolerate high-dose niacinamide just fine once they find the right level for their skin. It's a popular product for good reason, so anyone new to this concentration may want to patch-test first or ease in with fewer applications per week.

"10% niacinamide is playing with fire, just more likely to be irritating compared to 5%, 4% and below. Tranexamic acid applied topically can be helpful for post-acne redness and for the moisture barrier. It has a sizable bottle. Mancic acid, Asiatic acid, those are compounds from centella which are anti-inflammatory. Sodium hyaluronate, and it also has arbutin which is good for dark spots. This actually looks kind of promising. It's a thinner serum, very watery, no fragrance."

"This is the Anua Niacinamide 10% and Tranexamic Acid 4%. I did try this and it didn't work out for me, I think because I don't do too well with these really high levels of niacinamide. But this is a very popular product, so [...] whoever I pass it on to is going to be very happy with it, and most people do well with niacinamide, you just have to find the right level for you."
