Nikhil Jain, Founder, Navah Skincare, explains what exactly is Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid. They work wonders on your skin and provide multiple benefits. But do they work well together? Let’s find out.

What is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide is one of those skincare ingredients that seems to do just about everything and suits every skin type.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that is naturally present in your body as part of your skin’s natural moisturizing factors (NMFs).

Niacinamide and Hyaluronic acid, individually, are amazing products. They work wonders on your skin and provide multiple benefits. But do they work well together? Let’s find out.

1. Niacinamide is a type of vitamin B3 which can be used to solve most of your skin concerns whereas Hyaluronic acid is known for its moisture retaining properties.

2. Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid are a super skincare mix as they complement each other's hydrating properties.

3. They are a wonderful duo as both are water-based ingredients. This mixture is beneficial in improving common skin problems as it can calm your skin of pain and irritation caused by acne and provide protection from environmental factors. The serum gives a refreshing feeling and will keep you rejuvenated all day long.

4. When you use both of them together Hyaluronic acid will help you to retain plenty of hydration and Niacinamide will help you with controlling the sebum production and minimizing pores. You can use a moisturiser to seal these active ingredients.

5. Both Niacinamide and Hyaluronic acid are suitable for all skin types but there is a slight chance that some skin types can feel irritated by putting these ingredients together. To avoid such a situation always do a patch test before applying the serum on the face.

6. Niacinamide helps to boost collagen formation while hyaluronic acid improves flexibility, so joining the two can help improve the presence of wrinkles and fine lines.

7. There’s no reason to wait to add Niacinamide and Hyaluronic acid serums to your skin care routine. The wonderfully versatile Niacinamide brings many topical benefits to improve skin’s appearance, so it appears more even, brighter, and younger. And the super hydrating Hyaluronic acid to lock the moisture in your skin. Always follow these ingredients with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or more for maximum protection of your skin.

Serums are great for the skin and sometimes perform wonders when paired with the right ingredients. Just make sure to research about the ingredients you are putting into your skin, the correct way to apply it, and what elements would work the best if used together.
