How to Use Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid Together

Table of Contents

In today’s post, we’ll explore how to use hyaluronic acid and niacinamide together and how to layer your skincare products effectively for maximum results.

Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide are a favourite for many skincare enthusiasts owing to their powerful hydrating benefits. Individually and combined, these ingredients address a variety of skin issues and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

Key Takeaways: How to Use Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid Together

Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid are skincare powerhouses that work wonders individually but deliver even more impressive results when used together. Niacinamide, a versatile form of vitamin B3, strengthens the skin barrier, controls oil production, brightens the complexion, and soothes irritation. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring hydrator, plumps the skin, boosts elasticity, and locks in moisture.

When combined, these ingredients address a wide range of skincare concerns, including dryness, redness, and fine lines. Whether layered, alternated, or used in a single product, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid create a synergistic effect, leaving your skin healthier, hydrated, and glowing.

This post walks you through how to use these ingredients effectively, along with pro tips on layering skincare products for the best results.

Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid

If you desire well-nourished, blemish-free, and healthy skin, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid are a no-brainer in your skincare routine.

Niacinamide also called vitamin B3 is a water-soluble vitamin that can be extremely beneficial for the skin in the following ways;

  • Calms and soothes irritated skin
  • Reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increases hydration in the skin’s uppermost layer
  • Minimizes oil production and improves mild acne
  • Minimizes large pores
  • Improves skin barrier
  • Brightens the skin

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps keep some parts of the body such as skin tissues, eyes, and joints lubricated. Hyaluronic acid can be extremely beneficial for the skin in the following ways;

  • Hydrates and plumps the skin
  • Reduces redness and irritation
  • Improves skin barrier
  • Improves skin elasticity
  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

Incorporating both niacinamide and hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine can create a powerful synergy, promoting overall skin health, hydration, and a more youthful appearance.

How To Use Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid Together

There are different ways to use HA and niacinamide together in your skincare routine. Some of the recommended ways include;

Layering Both Ingredients In The Same Routine

You can use these ingredients together in the same routine. Just layer one product after the other giving a 3-5 minute gap between each application to allow your skin to absorb each product effectively.

Use A Single Product Containing Both Ingredients

Apply At Different Times

Another way to use niacinamide and hyaluronic acid together is to apply each product at different times. For example, you could use niacinamide in the morning and hyaluronic acid at night or vice versa.
