What the gurus are saying

This lightweight gel-cream absorbs quickly and keeps skin hydrated without the greasy feel, making it a rare find for combination skin. Hyram, who formulated it, emphasizes its versatility across oily and dry areas alike, and notes it pairs well with tretinoin since it nourishes without heaviness. One reviewer appreciated the niacinamide concentration but found it lacks the peptides and extra hydrators of comparable night creams at the same price point, so it may work best as a daytime moisturizer or for those who specifically want a truly lightweight formula.

"I tried the Niacinamide Maracuja Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer from Selfless by Hiram. What I like about this is that niacinamide is the second ingredient on the label. It's got a gel lotion consistency, kind of white, and it's a very lightweight feeling to rub in, so if you don't like a heavyweight cream at night, this definitely has kind of a lighter-weight feel. As far as other helpful ingredients, it doesn't really have anything except a couple of oils, which if you're someone who likes a skincare oil but doesn't like that oily feeling, this is a nice way to get oils into your skincare. I have used this a couple of nights and I feel like it definitely gives that kind of hydrated feeling and it definitely feels a little bit occlusive on the skin. However, I do like my Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Cream, which is my favorite night cream because it has niacinamide as well and it also has peptides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin and green tea. That one for me packs much more into the cream than this does as far as active ingredients. It's not going to replace my Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Cream because I think that brings so much more to the table in the jar for about the same price and about the same amount."

"I would love to mention my own moisturizer, the Selfless by Hyram Niacinamide and Marula Daily Barrier Moisturizer, because we made sure our products are free of silicones so they won't break up or peel with makeup. I would definitely recommend it because it really is amazing, and it's ideal if you want that invisible, fast absorbing feel while still packing a punch for hydration and moisture."

"I'm going to be using the niacinamide and maracuja daily barrier moisturizer that works for the daytime but I also love using it at night time as well. Every time you buy this moisturizer one person is provided with clean drinking water for a year in Eswatini, Africa, so incredible impact. But of course the experience is so nice because it's just this very light, fast-absorbing gel with ingredients that will bring down redness and irritation and sensitivity. It's amazing. And just wanted to shout it out for any of you guys who may not have known that it was vegan because it is."

The BEST Moisturizers of 2023
"Anyone who struggles with a broken moisture barrier, redness, stinging, sensitivity to touch, or anyone who has combination skin, I have to give it to the Selfless by Hyram Niacinamide and Maracuja Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer. I worked with chemists to formulate it because I wanted it to be the perfect moisturizer for combination skin that has incredible ingredients for reducing sensitivity, redness, and irritation. I get so frustrated having to use two different moisturizers for my oily areas and my dry areas, and that's why I worked so hard to make this formula that works to balance out any excessively oily areas but also has ultra hydrating and nourishing ingredients to help with those dry areas. This moisturizer is $20 and you can find it at Target and it has an incredible ingredient list with 5% niacinamide to help support your skin's barrier and reduce redness and irritation, maracuja oil which is an incredible ingredient for preventing transepidermal water loss which is where our skin loses water overnight resulting in dryness, premature aging, and a broken moisture barrier, as well as madecassoside which is the main component of centella asiatica to help reduce redness, and 1% murumuru butter which helps to create this amazing texture and consistency that gives the moisturizer that nourishing feel without the use of silicones. This moisturizer always comes in handy to reduce my sensitivity."
The BEST Moisturizers of 2025 🧴 Eczema, Lips, & All Skin Types!
"When we were formulating this, our goal was really to create a moisturizer that can really work across the board for both people who want a lightweight moisturizing experience that doesn't feel too greasy on oily areas, but also really deeply nourishes any dry areas of the skin while simultaneously consistently supporting the health of your moisture barrier. There are so many different products out there that individually address each of those concerns, but not one that does all at the same time. Additionally, you'll find so many moisturizers out there that focus on recovering the skin's moisture barrier once it's already damaged. And what we wanted to do instead was create a moisturizer that supported the health of your moisture barrier every single day. So, you don't have to worry about skin reactions, redness, inflammation, sensitivity, or breakouts. Not only is it such a nice lightweight gel cream that works great on more oily areas or for people who don't want to look too greasy or shiny throughout the day or night, the ingredients like maracuja oil, murumuru butter, shea butter, and niacinamide all work to deeply nourish the skin and support your skin barrier's health to prevent long-term damage and keep your skin healthy. So, that's why it really works for people who both experience dryness as well as oiliness."
An All Japanese Skin Care Routine? 🇯🇵 (these products are WILD)
"I'm headed on to a 9-hour flight in 3 hours. I'm going to go in with the Selfless by Hyram Niacinamide and Maracuja Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer because I still want that gel cream consistency without it being too heavy on my skin. The niacinamide and maracuja will definitely help to make sure my skin barrier is okay. I feel like these two will work really well together overnight, especially on a flight. I'm excited to see if I get good results from this."
Reintroducing You To My Brand: Selfless By Hyram 🩵
"I have always felt that one of the most important steps in a skincare routine is a good moisturizer and this moisturizer is just, I remember the excitement buzzing when we were formulating this because it truly was a consistency and texture and just moisturizer that I had never seen anything like before. This one is so incredible if you're wanting a gel cream consistency that feels light on the skin, not too heavy, absorbs nicely, but packs a punch with its moisture and is able to target really deep dryness and dehydration in the skin. It really is such a good balance of those two benefits. And it's truly in the most unique texture and consistency that I have ever found with a moisturizer. This was actually the most stressful product to create. We went through so many different samples of this one because I kept just being like, 'No, give me another one. Give me another one.' Until we got to the point where they were like, 'Hire them. We needed to start manufacturing this like two weeks ago. Pick a damn sample.' And then The Incredible Chemist submitted this sample. And I remember just feeling the consistency in my fingers and across my face and just being like, 'Wow, this is so different from any other moisturizer I've used.' My goal with this formula was to be able to create a really nice gel cream that works to moisturize the skin without being too heavy. But we were able to formulate this with some really power packed nourishing ingredients. One of the main ones being maracuja which we sustainably source from South America through a byproduct of the juicing industry because maracuja is from passion fruit and has incredible benefits."
You're Using Tretinoin Wrong (and how to actually get results)
"If you want that same deep nourishment but you don't want to feel like there's a heavy moisturizer on your face, I have to recommend the Selfless by Hyram Niacinamide and Marula Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer. This one is really nice to pair alongside tretinoin because it'll make sure that your skin is properly nourished and hydrated and that you aren't experiencing dehydration, without feeling like your skin is greasy. I love using this one during the day whenever I'm on tretinoin and then using a richer moisturizer at night."
Daisy Edgar Jones, Your Skin Care Routine Is Absurd
"I would also recommend the Selfless by Hyram Niacinamide and Maracuja Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer if you are wanting that lightweight, fast-absorbing experience, but also a barrier-nourishing experience as well. It's kind of like a two-in-one product that works great to make your skin not look overly greasy or shiny, but also actually make sure it's reinforcing the health of your moisture barrier so you don't have to worry about dryness, dehydration, or sensitivity."
The BEST Moisturizers of 2021!
"This is the only moisturizer I've been able to use where I notice adequate moisture in my dry areas and adequate oil control on my oily areas. It works really well to not only help control that oiliness with the niacinamide and the really lightweight consistency, but also ingredients like maracuja and murumuru butter which help to really boost the strength of the moisture barrier and make sure dry areas are adequately moisturized. It's really hard to find all that in one formula, and of course I am biased because it is my own brand, but it's just so good, it's such an amazing formula. It's really a versatile formula, and for every product purchase, one person is provided with clean drinking water for one year."
Reacting to My 4 YEAR Old Skin Care Routine
"During the day I use the Selfless by Hyram Niacinamide and Marula Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer, because of how lightweight but deeply nourishing it is. I know I'll be helping my moisture barrier while still getting that nice lightweight experience that won't make my skin oily or greasy or feel heavy at all."
Why Your Moisturizer is NOT Working
"My brand Selfless by Hyram set out to develop a really good gel cream, and I'm so proud of this formula. It's the Niacinamide Maracuja Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer. It works so well on combination skin or multiple skin types. I've seen people who have crazy oily skin fall in love with this product, but I've also seen people who have dry, eczema prone skin really love this product as well. It's a really nice consistency that doesn't feel too heavy on the skin. It provides a lot of moisture due to the maracuja and murumuru butter, but the niacinamide and lightweight texture also help to combat any excessive oiliness."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
