Does the niacinamide serum already contain hyaluronic acid?
Yes. It lists sodium hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid. You can find both ingredients in this one serum. You do not need a second bottle just to get both in your chosen formula.
Our Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a separate option. It lists four forms:
- Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer
- Sodium hyaluronate
- Sodium acetylated hyaluronate
- Hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate
The two blends also differ in their other ingredients. Read the full list on each product page before you choose.
What does 10% mean?
The 10% is the amount of niacinamide stated for that serum. It does not tell you how much hyaluronic acid is in the bottle.
Our Hyaluronic Acid Serum lists four forms, but does not state a total percentage. A count of forms and a percentage measure different things. Choose the blend you want rather than treating the larger number as a quality score.
How do I use the serum I choose?
Follow the directions for that bottle.
- Hyaluronic Acid Serum: use a small amount on clean, dry skin. Massage until it is absorbed.
- 10% Niacinamide Serum: use a pea-sized amount on the face and neck. Apply with small, gentle taps. The listing does not specify wet or dry skin.
The listings do not give a tested order for using these two finished serums together. Use the directions on the product you choose.
Check the ingredients, then shop
Both listings identify the serums as fragrance-free and cruelty-free. They also list these attributes:

Want vitamin C and niacinamide in one serum?
Choose HerbaGrove Vitamin Glow Serum when your priority is a combined formula with niacinamide and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a vitamin C derivative. It also lists panthenol and Tocopheryl Acetate. This gives you a different ingredient combination from the serums compared above.
Vitamin Glow Serum
Our pick for niacinamide with a vitamin C derivative in a lightweight serum. Each bottle contains 1 fl oz (30 ml), with no added fragrance listed.
Vitamin Glow vs 10% Niacinamide Serum
Choose Vitamin Glow Serum for the niacinamide-and-vitamin-C combination. Its ingredient list does not state either ingredient’s percentage. Choose 10% Niacinamide Serum if a stated niacinamide concentration is your priority, and compare its full formula on the product page.
Vitamin Glow contains these ingredients together in a finished formula. That does not establish how every separate vitamin C and niacinamide product should be layered. Follow the directions for the specific products you choose.
How to apply Vitamin Glow
Shake well, then use your fingers to apply 3–4 drops to the face and neck after cleansing. Its listing describes a lightweight texture for layering under moisturizer or makeup. For external use only; avoid contact with eyes and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
