Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide Hydration Cream

Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid are a perfectly compatible match, so we’ve used both in our luxurious hydrating cream. Hyaluronic acid has an immediate plumping effect thanks to its humectant capabilities, and niacinamide plays the long game, promoting better nutrient synthesis to power the skin’s barrier functions.

Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid are powerhouse ingredients all on their own, but there’s no reason to separate them. You can enjoy the full benefits of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid when they’re formulated together:

• Immediate hydration
• Long-term boost to skin barrier
• Improved skin texture and clarity
• Visibly springy and supple skin
• Potential to soothe signs of sensitivity

The Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Acid Hydration Cream was developed to maximize deep cellular renewal and to amplify the renewing effects of retinol. It also provides an instant reviving effect to dull neglected skin upon application. For deep renewal, this is the moisturizer to turn to.

Water Lock is more of a rapid hydration solution for all skin types. It has a powerful occlusive formula that seals moisture into the skin, with a uniquely non-greasy, silky texture. It’s a gentle but rapid-acting dehydration treatment that doesn’t contain powerful skin-transforming ingredients.

The Hydration Cream was developed to provide optimal daily moisture for normal, dry, and combination skin. While the formula is non-comedogenic, those with super oily or acne-prone skin may find that it feels a little too rich and creamy for their skin type.

Yes! In the short term, it helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles by plumping the skin up with moisture. This immediately makes the skin appear smooth, springy, and more youthful. In the long term, niacinamide has been shown to visibly reduce the severity of fine lines and wrinkles while also improving the signs of other common skin concerns.

That said, this is a fairly mild and gentle approach to addressing signs of skin aging. For more rapid skin renewal, consider also introducing a potent retinoid like our Enzyme-Active Retinol Serum or following a complete Skin Renewing routine.

The Hydration Cream is a fantastic moisturizer for any time of day. Those with dry skin will enjoy the additional moisture in the daytime. Those with combination and normal skin may find that using sunscreen provides enough moisture in the mornings, in which case it’s best to use it at night. .

Yes, the Hydration Cream is fragrance-free and made without essential oils. That said, it does smell faintly of rosemary extract, which is used in the formula as a stabilizing antioxidant.

The Hydration Cream can be used alongside other products that contain small amounts of niacinamide. That said, most studies show that the best results come from twice-daily use of 2%-5% niacinamide, so you shouldn’t need additional niacinamide products.

While niacinamide is largely considered non-irritating at up to 10% concentrations, it’s possible that using higher amounts would lead to irritation for some users.
