    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!

      Hi Kirsi 👋🏻 First and foremost, this is a really great serum! My best tip when using a serum with active ingredients is to go for a cream that is a bit gentler. I really like this one from Kiehls, and it comes in different sizes if you want to try a smaller one to start with lyko.com/sv/kiehls/kiehls-ultra-facial-cream-50ml

    Can I use this under Face Formula Balancing Hydration Cream?

    Hi! I wonder if it's okay to use this gel under Face Formula Balancing Hydration Cream, meaning to combine them in the same routine? Thanks 😊

    Equivalent product?

    Hi, this product was recommended to me to use as a serum, but I think it’s a bit expensive… is there an equally great product at a slightly lower price?

    Niactil

    Is this the one that was called "Elixir, niactil 4%" before, or which product corresponds to it? ☺️
