Niacinamide and vitamin C are both popular for uneven tone, but they are not identical. Men choosing a dark spot routine should focus on what their skin can tolerate consistently.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is commonly used for uneven-looking tone, redness, blemishes, and barrier support. It is a strong fit for men who want a clear-skin routine.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is often used for dullness and antioxidant support. It can fit an anti-aging or brightening routine.
