In lab studies, Niacinamide when applied to mouse skin, led to a 70% reduction in incidence of UV-induced skin cancer. In one clinical investigation, subjects with hyperpigmentation, after a 4 week application of topical niacinamide, computer analysis indicated a marked decrease in hyperpigmentation along with increased skin color lightness.
