Niacinamide is an anti-inflammatory ingredient works to refine pores, and can help control oil production, making it great for overall congestion. While it’s mostly found in serums, it can also be found in spot treatments to soften the potentially irritating effects while supporting other ingredients.

It’s effective for clearing out pores and soothing inflammation. She notes that these natural ingredients are best for whiteheads that have visible “heads” to them.

This material protects the pimple while absorbing excess fluids, sebum, and oil, to flatten a pimple faster and block out further bacteria that could exacerbate the pimple. “It also has the added benefit of helping to blockfrom your pimple.
