Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide: A Perfect Duo for Hydrated, Glowing Skin
Time to read 2 min
“Together, they create a well-rounded routine that supports healthy, glowing skin from every angle.”
When it comes to achieving smooth, glowing, and deeply hydrated skin, two OG powerhouse ingredients often come up in skincare conversations: Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide. But one question we hear time and time again is: can you use Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid together? The answer is a resounding yes, and when used in combination, they can deliver transformative results.
What Is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring molecule found in our skin that attracts and retains moisture. In fact, it can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This makes it a hydration hero, particularly for those with dry, dehydrated, or dull skin. When applied topically, Hyaluronic Acid helps to plump the skin, smooth fine lines, and create a dewy, refreshed complexion.
What Is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a versatile skincare ingredient celebrated for its brightening, anti-inflammatory, and oil-balancing benefits. It helps to:
- Reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation
- Minimise the look of pores
- Strengthen the skin barrier
- Regulate excess oil production
- Improve overall skin tone and texture
It’s gentle enough for daily use and suitable for nearly all skin types, even sensitive skin.
Can You Use Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid Together?
Yes, you can absolutely use Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid together, and doing so can significantly enhance your skincare results.
Hyaluronic Acid works on the surface to hydrate and plump, while Niacinamide dives deeper to improve skin tone, strengthen the barrier, and reduce inflammation. Together, they create a well-rounded routine that supports healthy, glowing skin from every angle.
Here’s why they’re a perfect match:
- Hydration + Brightening: Hyaluronic Acid boosts moisture levels, while Niacinamide helps even out skin tone and fade dark spots.
- Calming + Strengthening: Both ingredients have anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe redness and irritation, making them ideal for sensitive or stressed skin.
- Barrier Support: Hyaluronic Acid locks in moisture, and Niacinamide helps build up your skin’s natural defences, making it a great combination for barrier repair.
