Why we pay more for this form: Regular niacin causes something called"niacin flush." Your face burns, itches, and turns red like you forgot to browse on incognito and someone looked through your browser history.¹⁰ Niacinamide gives you all the good stuff without the unwanted face-fire. Your face should only turn red from the spice level you picked, not your vitamins.¹⁰
