Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid
Work well together
Use them together by applying the hyaluronic acid serum first and following with the niacinamide cream, because they boost hydration. Hyaluronic acid draws in moisture while niacinamide locks it in for a plump, smooth look. You can use a lower strength or apply them further apart if your skin feels sensitive.
