- 5% Niacinamide.
Also known as vitamin B3, this water-soluble vitamin is found naturally in yeast, meat, fish, milk, eggs, green vegetables, beans, and cereal grains. It has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discolouration.

This synthetically derived acid activates natural enzymes in the skin to help break the bonds that hold dead skin cells to the surface, promoting even exfoliation.
