I found a great new niacinamide serum: it has 10% niacinamide, a smooth wearable, hydrating texture, and works with lots of skincare you already are using. Also, it’s at the drugstore, not hard to find at all.
Niacinamide is best for improving tone and works with pretty much every other skincare ingredient out there so you can use it morning or night. I like it in the morning under my sunscreen and it feels great.
At $23 for 29mL, it’s more pricy than other brands that have niacinamide serums. This one is less drying and not mattifying, like the ones that also have zinc in them. It also has a pump rather than a dropper bottle, which I kind of prefer. I’ll keep using it and I think it would be good for people with more dry skin, while others are better for oil control.
Although I love a cocktail of ingredients best, all the serums or toners I’ve tried with more actives don’t have a high percentage of this particular ingredient, and I find that 10% makes a noticeable difference. That could be in my head, I have but one face. This serum is just one of many in my rotation, and I like that it mixes Hyaluronic acid and glycerin which are both moisturizing, with niacinamide.
