Limits of interpretation

The INCI list shows which ingredients are present, not how much of each. Above 1%, ingredients are listed in descending order of weight; below 1% the order is free.

Its position on the label does not tell you the percentage used, and the presence of niacinamide alone does not show that the product is effective.
