Niacinamide creams
Let’s start by looking at a few awesome Niacinamide creams. These are perfect for those of us who don’t like to use thousands of product and rather prefer a “one product for everything” type of approach.
CeraVe moisturiser with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid
This mosturizer by CeraVe sure packs a punch. The ceramides in it will help to restore your skin barrier. And not only does it contain niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, it also offers sunscreen of 30 SPF.
Amazing, isn’t it?
This unique combination of helpful ingredients makes it the most popular and probably the best niacinamide cream out there at the moment!
However, the sunscreen means, you should definitely use it as the last product in your skin care routine.
With these kinds of ingredients, you won’t need many other products anyways!

CeraVe Night Cream with Niacinamide
Obviously, if you get a Niacinamide cream with SPF, you’ll also need a night version. Conveniently, CeraVe offers that one too!
While the day version protects from the sun, this Niacinamide cream offers a peptide complex to combat fine lines and wrinkles.
La Roche-Posay niacinamide cream
Skin care juggernaut La Roche-Posay came out with their very own Niacinamide cream.
True to their brand, this niacinamide product is perfect for sensitive skin. No oil, no fragrance.
Instead, it contain ceramides to restore your skin barrier, Niacinamide because DUH! and glycerin for that awesome moisturising effect.
What’s not to love?

Niacinamide serum
Probably the most popular way to deliver some Niacinamide to your skin: a concentrated serum.
Most skin care enthusiasts prefer this product type for active ingredients to get the biggest impact possible.
Unsurprisingly, there are hundreds of Niacinamide serums out there. I’ll just show you the most popular ones because – overwhelm!

The Ordinary Niacinamide serum
The Niacinamide serum by The Ordinary is, without doubt, the OG of affordable B3 serums. I’ve been using it for years and swear by it!
However, with a concentration of 10% Niacinamide it can be too harsh for sensitive skin. The texture is also not the greatest of all products, as the serum can be quite sticky and have a “pilling” effect.
You can order it here*, but a better source is ordering it directly from this site!
The Inkey List Niacinamide serum
The Inkey list is the British answer to The Ordinary. Science based, no frills products at a very affordable price.
So, of course, they carry a 10% niacinamide serum!
There isn’t too much to say about this one. It is very simple and really affordable, which it the appeal for most people using it.
If you want to know exactly what you’re getting without paying a lot for it, this is your product!
The best place to get it online is the Inkey Lists official website.

Glossier Super Pure
The 5% Niacinamide serum by Glossier is the luxury variant and perfect for sensitive skin. The lower concentration helps avoid any possible irritation. Oh yeah, and it’s also fragrance-free!
It is also quite expensive compared to other products. However, people say it has a nicer texture than most other Niacinamide serums. This ons is very silky and smooth, doesn’t pill or get too sticky.
For people with sensitive skin and/or sensory issues, this is probably the best niacinamide serum.
You can get it here* or – better and probably cheaper – at the official page of Glossier!
Cos de Baha 10% Niacinamide serum
Did you know that the Korean skin care industry was the one to bring us the Niacinamide trend in the first place? (Of course they were, they KNOW skin care!)
So we can’t make a list of the best niacinamide serums without having at least one Korean brand on!
Cos de Baha offers a 10% Niacinamide serum with added zinc and several other moisturising ingredients. You have to be quick though – it’s sold out super often!
You can order it here!*
Niacinamide toner
The last Niacinamide product type we have to talk about are Niacinamide toners. The concentration might not be as high as with the serums, but you’ll see amazing effects nevertheless!

CeraVe Hydrating Toner
According to the reviews, this is the best niacinamide toner out there at the moment. Every skin type can deal with it, even super sensitive skin. It does have all the usual CeraVe advantages: being fragrance-free, containing ceramides to rebuild your skin barrier etc.
Also it’s really affordable, and doesn’t dry out your skin as some other toners do.
If you want to have a tried and tested product, this Niacinamide toner is the way to go!

Cos de Baha Niacinamide toner
As we were just speaking of Korean niacinamide products: Cos de Baha also offers a Niacinamide toner. Additional ingredients like Aloe Vera extract and glycerin will make your skin feel super plumped up and hydrated!

Even though it’s sold as a toner, some people say it’s closer to a serum in effect.
Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner
Many people swear that this is the best niacinamide toner out there at the moment. It’s unscented, so even sensitive skin can deal with it. Also, it is really affordable. Make sure to get it from the official website of Good Molecules, as you might pay extra when getting it elsewhere.
Can you use two niacinamide products?
So now that you’ve seen all these amazing Niacinamide products, you might even want to combine two of them.
If your skin is generally fine with Niacinamide and you’re not using super high concentrations like a 20% Niacinamide serum in your skin care routine, you should be fine.
However, keep an eye out for possible irritation and tone down the Niacinamide use if you suspect it’s becoming too much!
Enjoy your new Niacinamide products!
Whichever Niacinamide products you use, I hope you thoroughly enjoy them and see all of the benefits you’re hoping for!
And if you found this list helpful, I’d be grateful if you could share it with someone else!
