What the gurus are saying

The experts who tested it found the 5% niacinamide concentration strikes a gentle balance, easily tolerated by most skin types without the irritation that higher doses can bring. The gel cream texture works well for oily and combination skin wanting lightweight hydration and sebum control, while also suiting those with sensitive or dry skin needing a moisturizer that layers cleanly under sunscreen. The formula includes coconut juice and plant polysaccharides for soothing and water retention, and niacinamide itself can help fade post-acne marks and brighten tone. Those layering it with other serums may want to apply thinner products first, then this one on top.

"Nutrium Niacinamide Gel Cream 5% is another great option. This one from Nutrium is a little bit more water-based, and 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 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 during the summertime, 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. 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 help to hydrate your skin and help 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, or if you have more sensitive skin, maybe dry sensitive skin, wanting a lightweight moisturizer that you can use under sunscreen."

"The Nutrium Niacinamide Gel Cream at a 5% concentration, 5% is easily tolerated for most skin types, anything above five, especially 10%, can be quite irritating for a lot of skin types. From my experience with this, it's very gentle and it's also very moisturizing on the skin. It is that gel cream formulation, so I really love that. Niacinamide is an antioxidant, so it can address other things as well. Great for those that have acne or dry skin, oily skin, it really does wonders. But it can really help to brighten the skin, especially if you have post-acne marks or dark spots. Niacinamide can also help to prevent transepidermal water loss as well. This has a thicker texture, so if you're using something thinner, you'd want to apply the thinner one first, then this on top. If you like your niacinamides, then I really do recommend this one."
