How Game Changing Will Niacinamide Be In The New Fenty Instant Reset Overnight Gel-Cream

Fenty Instant Reset Overnight Gel-Cream finally decided to pop up at Sephora. For a while there it was available exclusively on Fenty’s website and although I wanted to try it I was waiting for the Sephora release because I felt the return would be easier if I hated it. But who am I kidding? I always have the best intentions to return things and never do!

Fenty Instant Reset Overnight Gel-Cream is a new overnight moisturizer and sleeping pack of sorts that was specifically created to be used as part of your nightly routine. It’s a lightweight gel moisturizer that has a lush tropical fruit and flower fragrance. I know, I know, the fragrance is killing you! Interestingly enough I don’t see any artificial fragrances in the ingredients list so it might come directly from some of the oils in the formulas. This is actually loaded with some incredible oils and extracts including melon oil which is great for hydrating.

And of course, the superstar ingredients here are Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide. I think Niacinamide surpassed Hyaluronic Acid in popularity in 2020 here in the US market. It’s long since been a very popular pick in Korea and Japan but last year in certainly gained traction in the Western market.

If Vitamin C isn’t part of your daily diet you can go ahead and try out Niacinamide which has many of the same benefits. But user beware you don’t want to mix Niacinamide and Vitamin C. Recent studies have shown you can mix the two however, never together in the same routine. As a rule of thumb if I’m using Niacinamide I just avoid Vitamin C products. It really depends on your skin of course. I’m just old school and although my routine includes a ton of different products I am always very safe about what I am cocktailing together. You don’t want to dish out on expensive products that are rendered ineffective by using them together so always do your research prior to mixing skincare.

As for Niacinamide it works a lot like Vitamin C in the fact it can reduce dark spots, even out skin tone, and reveal more luminous and brighter skin! The good news is the fact it is higher on the list of ingredients in the Fenty Instant Reset Overnight Gel-Cream meaning it has an impressive amount of it in this cream!

I’ve been using this for a few weeks now! I’ll report back soon to see how game changing the Niacinamide in the mix is! Will it brighten up my skin? Make me years and years younger? We’ll see 🙂

Anyone try it?

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    So, you’d prefer 10 to 12? Haven’t tolerated Niacinamide, which of course is notorious for a flush, in pushing four years, so no to this. AHAs, too. Aloe. Oh, wtf! Long list. I try N and AHAs periodically. Maybe some day. Good luck to Ri, but I’d rather see an indie co like Sydney Grace, Sugarpill, etc. put out skin lines…or KB JB AB…and wait 3 mos for Yesstyle. Flakes are just starting in Boston.

    Actually, according to my derm, you can mix niacinamide and vitamin c together in the same routine. She said the old study from the 60’s that said it can cause flushing was done under high heat, which doesn’t reflect real life (we don’t store our products under the sun). It is actually beneficial to combine the two together. I’ve used them together for a while and have no problems, but I can understand playing it safe, too! I usually just use niacinamide at night with my retin-a because I like to keep my skincare light during the day.

    Fenty’s gel cream would be way too light for me seeming as I like my night routine to be ultra nourishing and rich. I don’t think I’ve ever used a gel cream at night before.

      Yeah! It a very old study about mixing the two together and most derms recommend otherwise now. I just somehow stick to using one and not both. If I see nia in it I tend to shy away from my vit c during the time I’m using the nia. I think of the Fenty gel as more of a sleeping pack tbh as it’s way light for my dry skin! I need something heavier in the evenings!
