    This is the best niacinamide and glycerin product on the market in all categories!!

    I have written about Niactil before for the old packaging. Thankfully, the formula has been allowed to remain unchanged because it is so good, so good, so good that it can't be made better. I have been using this since the product came out on the Swedish market, so it has been more than 10 years. It is a staple in my arsenal, and I use it every day. Niactil is a dry and moisture-deprived skin's best friend! It provides both a lot of moisture and enough moisture-binding and softening glycerin to also help a dry and dehydrated skin retain moisture. And it is a perfect base to use before applying your moisturizing cream or oil. Many moisture-binding products are far too watery and thin to give a dry skin the help it needs. But Niactil does what most others can't. The niacinamide soothes redness and evens out skin tone and also leads to a softer appearance of the pores in the long run. If you are worried as a dry skin about Niactil containing salicylic acid, you don't need to be, because the amount is small, and together with the glycerin and niacinamide, the possibility of irritation is counteracted. At least that's how I experience it. Niactil also has the amount of niacinamide that has the best evidence regarding good effect without irritation. So overall, Niactil is also a product that helps a lot for skin that easily becomes red and irritated and is rosacea-friendly. It is simply a little lifesaver in need that keeps the skin in fine balance and also serves as a perfect base under makeup. I also use it as a buffer when I use prescription tretinoin cream because I have dry and sensitive skin, and the combination is almost perfect. Nowadays, they have made a new variant that is lighter, which some with oilier skin types might find better. But this one is really universal, so if you are unsure which one suits your skin best, my suggestion is to try this one first if you want something with a little more oomph. For those who do not have a bad skin barrier or are super dry like me, you can probably even sometimes get away with using Niactil alone.. Considering that you get 100 ml and the company Elixir, now Face Formula, has also kept the price at the same level it has been for many years - which I think they deserve all the credit for. In short, this is the product of everything I use that I will never replace. It is a perfect formula!

    Best purchase

    This product was recommended to me by a colleague because I struggle with acne around my temples and jawline as well as rosacea. I first bought a small tube to test and was very positively surprised. I use a pea-sized amount morning and evening. My skin has become silky soft, the lines around my eyes less defined, and my skin more even and glowing. Today I took a selfie and thought I had a filter on, but I didn’t. I recommend this!

    Which day cream to use?

    This is the best product on the market. It moisturizes and reduces redness. Can't recommend it enough. Just buy it! To my question, I have previously combined this with daily defence SPF15 as a day cream but it has now been discontinued. Which one would you recommend to use instead? I have dry and sensitive skin. Thanks!

    Same as before?

    Is it exactly the same ingredients and composition as the old one? When it was called Elixir

      Hi Kine Julie Lervik! 👋 What a great question! Yes, Face Formula Niactil 4% is the same product that was previously called Elixir Niactil 4%. When Elixir changed its name to Face Formula, only the brand name and packaging design were changed; the formulation itself is unchanged according to the manufacturer. This means that the ingredients, the 4% niacinamide concentration, the texture, and the effect are the same as before. You can therefore be confident that it is the same product, just in new packaging. 😊 Hope this was helpful, have a great day 💖

    The best skin cream

    I have very sensitive and acne-prone skin, with rosacea and cystic acne. This cream has saved my skin, and I can see great improvement. Both in skin texture and it has helped a lot with my cystic acne. I also think it’s very nice under makeup, it helps with dry patches but doesn’t make me too shiny. It costs quite a bit, but it lasts a long time, I think, and I really think it’s worth it ❤️

    Best

    My skin loves this! I am sensitive to niacinamide, but this product works really well. Oil production is balanced so I don’t get as shiny during the day, pores look smaller, and the skin doesn’t get as red and sensitive. The skin feels hydrated and comfortable.

    A favorite

    This is a favorite of mine and a product I always come back to! Because I have quite dry skin, I use it as a serum under moisturizer, and it works like a dream ✨ If you have a bit sensitive skin, I recommend using it every other night at first like I do so the skin gets used to it, and you can enjoy all the great effects and glow without discomfort or side effects. I love how much moisture and glow this gives me, how dryness lines become less visible, it helps with pigmentation, acne, redness, and acne scars. A great multi-product 🙌🏼 #lykoreview #konkurranseinflutester

    Love the product

    Fantastic product but annoying that the tube shrinks while keeping the price when the brand changes its name. It is an expensive product from the start.

    Is it okay to use with Finacea?

    Hi! Can this be used in the same skincare routine as Finacea 15% (prescription Azelaic Acid)? How should I use these? I have sensitive, dry & combination skin (enlarged pores & oily T-zone). I use Finacea as prescribed by my dermatologist for Perioral Dermatitis, who recommended using it in the evening. Is it then okay to use this in the morning before my barrier serum & face cream+spf? I also use Retinal once a week as I’m introducing it into my routine. On evenings when I use Retinal, I don’t use Finacea, but is it okay to use Niactil in the morning after a Retinal evening? I appreciate any help I can get! 😊🌸

      Hi Therese 😊 It’s fine to use this in the morning and then your Finacea in the evening. It’s also fine to use this if you use retinal in the evening before! Have a nice day! 🌼

    Wonderful product!!⚡️

    This cream has actually been a steady favorite of mine since 2017, so that says a lot! 🥰✨ I remember it was out of stock for a while, and I searched a long time for something to replace it – but nothing gave me the same immediate glow 🥹💛 What I love about it is that it gives lots of moisture and a really nice glow right away. The skin simply looks fresher and more radiant ✨😍 It feels light on the skin but still provides good moisture. A big plus is that the tube is a whole 100 ml, so it lasts a long time 👏🥰 I often use it as a kind of serum before I apply Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream on top, and that combination works great for my skin to get lots of moisture 💛 #konkurranseinflutester

      Hi Jill 😊 Yes, this generally works well to use together with retinal. Since Niactil also contains salicylic acid, the combination can feel a bit active for sensitive or unaccustomed skin at first, so it can be good to introduce the products gradually. Many choose to use Niactil in the morning and retinal in the evening, but they also work fine in the same routine if the skin tolerates it. Have a nice day! 🌼
