Face Formula

My favorite product for glow and hydration! Love using this under both day and night cream. Gives a glow that lasts all day.

Fantastic for my skin - I have perioral dermatitis and had hormonal comedones and papules that this keeps away.

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!
