EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer

The niacinamide in this formula really does pull its weight—my dark spots from last summer’s breakouts are noticeably lighter after a month. It sinks in fast without any greasy film, which is rare for something that still keeps my oily skin comfortable all day.

I've been using this for three weeks and my dark spots are genuinely fading without the greasy feeling most moisturizers leave. The niacinamide does its job without irritating my sensitive skin, which is a huge win.

The texture is so much lighter than my old moisturizer, but it still keeps my skin hydrated all day. I've noticed the dark spots on my cheeks fading after three weeks of consistent use, which is a nice bonus.
