What the gurus are saying

At 5% niacinamide, this gel cream is praised for being well-suited to oily skin, delivering a lightweight, oil-free formula without pore-clogging risk. Despite that light texture, it's also surprisingly gentle and moisturizing, striking a good balance for supporting the skin barrier. Those with oily skin wanting genuine hydration without heaviness may find this worth a try.

"Naturium Niacinamide Gel Cream 5% is another great option. I definitely do feel like that this one from Naturium is a little bit more water-based than the Omega water cream from Inky List, but along with this 5% concentration niacinamide, it is wonderful for those that have super oily skin, wanting sebum control, wanting something that's lightweight, oil-free, non-pore clogging, but also helping with maybe say oiliness or post acne marks. [...] I actually used this one a couple years back when I was in Singapore for two weeks for a conference, and it was [...] hot and humid, and this was literally the moisturizer I used when I was there. It was lovely and just really elegant and layers nicely under sunscreen. So it's got 5% niacinamide along with coconut juice extract that offers great soothing properties helping to support your skin barrier, along with plant derived polysaccharides that again just really helps to hydrate your skin, helps to better retain water within your skin. So another great option for those that have combination oily skin wanting a moisturizer that also has additional benefits."

"Pairing number three would be to use growth factors and niacinamide, and this is the one from Naturium, the Naturium Niacinamide Gel Cream 5%. It doesn't matter what niacinamide product you're using, whether it's a serum or a gel, but this pairing is exceptional for skin barrier support, so it will keep the skin barrier nice and strong and healthy. If you're someone that experiences a compromised skin barrier or inflammation of the skin, then this is also great because of wound healing. This pairing is also exceptional for discoloration, to improve fine lines and wrinkles and skin elasticity, and it can be used every day, twice a day."

RESULTS GUARANTEED! 10 PRO TRETINOIN/RETINAL PAIRINGS TO LIMIT SKIN IRRITATION AND SIGNS OF AGING
"This is the Naturium Niacinamide Gel Cream at a 5% concentration. Now, 5% is easily tolerated for most skin types. Anything above 5%, especially 10%, can be quite irritating for a lot of skin types, so from my experience with this, it's very gentle. It's also very moisturizing on the skin, it is that gel cream formulation so I really love that. And niacinamide is an antioxidant so it can address other things as well. Great for those that have acne, dry skin, oily skin, it really does wonders, but it can really help to brighten up the skin, especially if you have post-acne marks or dark spots. This is just something extra that you can incorporate to really address that tone of the skin and add more brightness, and this is lovely. So what I would recommend is I would apply this before your tretinoin, but you could put this on top of tretinoin, it just depends on what you want to do. But if you're using the Ordinary retinol, put that on first then put this on top because this has a thicker texture whereas the one from the Ordinary is thinner, thinnest to thickest. But if you like your niacinamides then I really do recommend this one. Plus niacinamide can also help to prevent transepidermal water loss as well."
