Nicotinamide

Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions that usually occurs during the ages of 14-20 and can appear on your face, back and chest. This can also occur during adulthood and usually begins with the early signs of blackheads and whiteheads. This can eventually develop into inflamed spots or pimples that contain pus. This skin condition normally goes away on its own, however with treatment, this can reduce the inflammation and redness to control your acne and stop it from reappearing.
