What Ingredients Are Compatible with Niacinamide?

If you are using (or looking to use) Niacinamide in your skincare routine, you may be wondering what products and ingredients work well together. Niacinamide is known to be a relatively stable ingredient which works well with a variety of other ingredients, but note that different products and different ingredients are likely to give different results.

Niacinamide and Retinol

Retinol is a potent skincare ingredient which is popular thanks to its known benefits such as minimizing the look of fine lines and wrinkles but it’s also a highly active ingredient which can cause those with sensitive skin to experience skin irritation. That being said, one study showed that the combination of Niacinamide and Retinol (along with the ingredients Hexylresorcinol, and Resveratrol) in a skincare product showed an improvement in overall skin appearance.

Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid

As we’ve learned, Niacinamide is an ingredient known for boosting hydration and moisturizing the skin. Hyaluronic Acid is another ingredient which is also known for its hydration benefits. , Although both ingredients increase skin’s hydration Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant ingredient whilst Niacinamide is an occlusive ingredient (meaning it can help to lock in moisture). Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid make a particularly great duo for those looking to achieve a healthy glow and even skin tone.

Niacinamide and PHA

Niacinamide is an ingredient that you can find formulated into our Clarifique Pro-Solution Serum along with a 10% PHA concentration (gluconolactone). Cuando el PHA se combina con un ingrediente como la niacinamida, proporciona un brillo visible sin la aspereza no deseada.

Niacinamide and Vitamin C

Niacinamide and Vitamin C can both be great ingredients to use together especially if you’re looking to reduce the look of discoloration and improve skin texture. Much like Vitamin C, Niacinamide has been shown to improve the appearance of dark spots, in addition to having a range of anti-aging benefits. When looking to use both ingredients in your skincare routine, you may want to start with products which include a combination of both. Our new Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum contains a combination of Activated C – a potent, highly stabilized form of Vitamin C and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) making it a great product for those looking to improve the look of dark spots and receive anti-aging benefits, described further below.
