Naturium Niacinamide Gel Cream 5% (50 G / 1.7 OZ) - High Concentration of Niacinamide for a Visibly Poreless Look - Dermatologically Tested

Product Information

While retinol provides many benefits to the skin, it’s also known to cause side effects like skin dryness and irritation. Naturium is cruelty free. The brand does not test their ingredients or finished products on animals, and neither do their suppliers or any third-parties. In addition, Naturium skincare products are not sold in countries where animal testing is required by law. Is Naturium Vegan? A moderate concentration (5%) of niacinamide is combined with coconut fruit juice and marine-derived polysaccharides in this moisturizer, promising to give you a poreless, dewy, glass-like look. For example, one review says, “I’ve been using this cream, along with the vitamin c super serum and niacinamide and my skin is worse than when I started. My skin problem was dark spots and my skin has consistently broke out, and been SUPER oily. I didn’t have oily skin before starting these products and my skin was not breaking out.”

Niacinamide does not have any known chemical incompatibilities and pairs well with numerous other bioactives, for synergistic results. Pair niacinamide, which reduces melanosome transfer, with vitamin C, a tyrosinase inhibitor, and you have a very effective skin lightener. Pair niacinamide, which boosts ceramide producers and inhibits proinflammatory cytokines, with retinol, which increases cell renewal and collagen production, and you get an anti-aging treatment with minimal irritation. Pair niacinamide, which reduces fatty acid production while reducing proinflammatory cytokines, with Zinc PCA, an antimicrobial agent with moisturizing properties, and you get a blemish and sebum control treatment that won’t dry or disrupt the skin. Pair niacinamide, which stimulates ceramide and barrier lipid synthesis, with Hyaluronic Acid, a humectant and film former, and you get a hydrating treatment that moisturizes from within and on the surface of the skin. Naturium niacinamide formulas are perfect to pair and layer with any of your skin care products, to elevate and maximize your skin benefits. NIACINAMIDE BENEFITS FOR SKINBottom Line: A lightweight eye cream that helps to reduce signs of aging thanks to the combination of three peptides. The serum also includes vitamin E, which is great because the antioxidant activity of vitamin E can actually become more powerful when combined with vitamin C. For this reason, vitamins C and E are referred to as “network antioxidants”. There’s no such thing as a miracle treatment when it comes to combating age, though vitamin C comes pretty close. It’s a powerful antioxidant that protects your skin from environmental free radical damage. By using varying molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, Naturium Quadruple Hyaluronic Acid Serum offers multi-depth hydration and visible plumping — not just temporary surface hydration.

Is Natrium Skincare Worth The Money?

Products contain high concentrations of evidence-based ingredients (niacinamide, vitamin C, retinol, etc.)

That’s because this serum is formulated with a photostable, synergistic blend of encapsulated retinol, a natural bio-retinol, and bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinol alternative. The combination of these ingredients is said to provide the benefits of retinoids — but without the irritation. Within about 10 days I did notice that my skin looked clearer and the pores on my cheeks in particular seemed less visible. While it might not offer the hydration I need, I would use it on my chin to help ease hormonal breakouts. My skin reaped the benefits of the 5% dose of niacinamide – prior to this, I haven’t used a formula that champions the ingredients for years and I forgot how game-changing it can be in terms of pores and blemishes.It’s best to use retinoids at night. We recommend this retinoid oil serum . It contains Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, an ingredient that provides similar benefits with less irritation.

Bottom Line: Naturium Niacinamide Serum Plus Zinc combines the multi-tasking ingredient niacinamide with the acne-fighting powers of Zinc PCA, making this a serum that can benefit all skin types, but especially those with congested skin. Despite the controversy, Naturium skincare products are quite popular. We believe this brand is gaining trust by being fully transparent with their product formulations, as well as taking the time to educate consumers on the ingredients in their products. The moisturizer also contains quite a few moisture-binding ingredients, such as several types of algae, humectants, and sodium hyaluronate. Since the formula doesn’t contain many emollients, it’s best for those with normal, combination, and oily skin types. If you have dry skin, you will likely need a moisturizer with more emollients and barrier-replenishing ingredients.
