What the gurus are saying

This cream packs 10% niacinamide, an unusually high concentration that one expert found tolerable even when higher doses typically cause irritation. The 7% zinc oxide helps reduce breakouts, though it leaves a visible white cast on skin. Gurus note it layers well over other treatments, making it flexible to fit into most routines.

"They have a ten percent niacinamide product, this AC Fighting Spot RX Cream, a spot treatment for acne that contains ten percent niacinamide. This is actually the only time I've ever been able to use that high a level of that specific ingredient. [...] It also has seven percent zinc oxide, which can help reduce breakouts, but it is white so you might get a bit of a white cast where you apply it."

"So this one's nice and you can layer it over other treatments as well so that's also worth a try"

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
