Hey Lykkers! Niacinamide has become one of those skincare ingredients I keep coming back to. I like how easy it is to add into a routine, especially on days when I don’t want to use too many complicated products.

Lately, I’ve been switching between two niacinamide serums: Jumiso Niacinamide 10 Serum and La Roche-Posay Pure Niacinamide 10 Serum.

Both have made their way into my skincare lineup, but they give me a slightly different experience.

1. Jumiso Niacinamide 10 Serum

Jumiso’s serum has such an easygoing feel in my routine. I like reaching for it when I want a simple serum step without making my skincare routine feel heavy or complicated. The 10% niacinamide concentration immediately caught my attention because I’ve been trying to be more consistent with niacinamide in my routine.

It layers nicely with the rest of my skincare, which is important for me since I don’t want my morning or evening routine to turn into a product-pilling battle.

2. La Roche-Posay Pure Niacinamide 10 Serum

La Roche-Posay is another brand I naturally gravitate toward when I want something that feels a little more focused. The Pure Niacinamide 10 Serum also contains 10% niacinamide, making it an interesting comparison with Jumiso. I like having this one around when I want to keep my routine centered around one particular ingredient rather than layering a bunch of different actives.

The formula fits nicely into a simple routine, too. I don’t need to do anything complicated with it, which is honestly what I prefer most of the time.

I’d say Jumiso is the more fun addition to my routine, while La Roche-Posay feels like the more straightforward choice when I want to keep things simple and focused. Having both around has also reminded me that skincare doesn’t have to be complicated to be enjoyable.

Sometimes finding one ingredient you like and building a routine around it is enough. Now I’m curious which niacinamide serum everyone else keeps reaching for, because I clearly have room for another one on my shelf.
