After The Ordinary's niacinamide broke out their very oily skin, this user finds The INKEY List Niacinamide pleasant and uses it to hydrate and brighten before tretinoin.

“Inkey List. The ordinary broke me out terribly.”

Prefers its texture to The Ordinary's and says both give basically the same niacinamide results.

“Yes, and I far prefer the texture of the inkey list than the ordinary. Although they both deliver basically the same Niacinamide results IMO.”

Recommends it, saying it sits much nicer on the skin than The Ordinary's.

“Try the Inky List Niacinamide! You have to watch when it’s in stock (Sephora Canada is a bit all over the place), but it sits so much nicer on the skin when compared to TO.”

A dry-skinned user prefers The INKEY List Niacinamide over The Ordinary's: hydrating and smooth without pilling, though they dislike the packaging.

“I've tried the Niacinamide from both brands and as someone with dry skin I prefer the one from The Inkey List because it's hydrating”
