Walk into any skincare aisle and you will see Niacinamide plastered across dozens of products. But here is the thing most brands will not tell you: concentration matters enormously, and most products use far less than what clinical research shows is effective.
The science is clear. Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, becomes clinically active in the 2-5% range. Below 2%, you are essentially getting a label claim with minimal results. At 3.5%, which is exactly where we formulated The Daily Reset, you hit the optimal zone for sebum regulation, pore refinement, and fading post-acne hyperpigmentation — all without the irritation that higher concentrations can trigger in sensitive or active skin.
For athletes especially, Niacinamide addresses a specific cascade of problems. Sweat, sun exposure, and friction create a perfect storm for hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores. At 3.5%, Niacinamide works over 6-8 weeks to visibly reduce these marks while keeping oil production balanced. This means fewer breakouts during training season and more even-toned skin over time.
We chose to print the exact percentage on our bottle because transparency matters. When you know what is in your product and at what concentration, you can make informed decisions about your skincare. No marketing fluff — just the numbers and the science behind them.
