Improve and brighten your skin tone and help delay skin aging.
Niacinamide and retinol are both popular skin care ingredients. On their own, each ingredient can help improve skin blemishes and acne, even out skin tone, and diminish the signs of aging.
When applied topically, niacinamide has additional benefits. It’s often used to help control:
signs of aging
acne
rosacea
atopic dermatitis
autoimmune blistering disorders
hyperpigmentation
itchiness (pruritis)
sun damage
Retinoids are derived from vitamin A, an essential nutrient your body needs for immunity, vision, and cellular communication.
In skin care, retinol is a well-known ingredient. It’s often used in products to help minimize or treat:
acne
signs of aging
hyperpigmentation

What are the benefits of using them together?
Using niacinamide and retinol together in one product or combined as part of your skin care routine has several benefits.
An older 2008 lab study examined the combination of niacinamide and retonic acid (RA), which is what retinol is turned into once it’s in your skin. The study found that niacinamide lessens the irritation and dryness caused by RA.
Additionally, a 2017 studyTrusted Source found that a retinol cream with moisturizing ingredients, including niacinamide, caused less irritation than a formula with just retinol.
This suggests that if you use a product that also contains niacinamide, which can protect your skin barrier, you may be able to benefit from retinol but with fewer side effects.
Studies have also found that formulas containing both niacinamide and retinol can be beneficial for your skin.
In a 2016 studyTrusted Source, a retinol cream with niacinamide, hexylresorcinol, and resveratrol improved skin tone and signs of aging.
A 2012 studyTrusted Source also found that using retinol, nicotinamide, and 7-dehydrocholesterol together is safe and effective for acne.
