We are so excited to officially launch our highly-anticipated product: ELEVATE—Lake+Main’s first hyaluronic acid and niacinamide serum. Our founders have been using it in secret for weeks, and are finally ready to share their secret to truly radiant skin.
We’ve spent one whole year formulating (and reformulating) ELEVATE to perfection. We’re here to answer all your pressing questions about the product and it’s ingredients.
Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide: The Ultimate Skincare Duo
As the skincare industry continues to boom, it can feel like each week brings a new onslaught of trending products and ingredients.
Our favourite thing about natural skincare is the simplicity. We select our ingredients based on efficacy and quality, not based on our TikTok for you page.
In terms of ingredients that will outlast any trend, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide are two definitely worth knowing. Let us break down what they actually are, and what they can do for your skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
Like collagen and elastin, hyaluronic acid is also naturally produced by our bodies. It’s responsible for hydration, and stops the moisture in our skin from evaporating.
As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid our body naturally produces decreases. This can make it difficult for the skin to retain moisture, and lead to wrinkles, dark spots, and fine lines.
Natural skincare allows us to support our body’s natural processes. Using hyaluronic acid can:
- Regulate inflammation levels.
- Build more blood vessels to heal skin faster.
- Provide deep and lasting hydration for youthful skin.
- Create healthier skin cells.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is simply a form of Vitamin B3—essential to our skin’s ability to repair damage and regulate cell function.
While niacinamide truly has too many purposes to name, it essentially influences the natural oils and proteins that moisturize our skin, and helps our skin function at a super high level.
It’s as effective as it is gentle and can be used on all skin types. Here are just a few of the benefits you can expect:
- Treats hyperpigmentation by regulating collagen production.
- Builds keratin keeping your skin soft and healthy.
- Diminishes the appearance of pores.
- Treats fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.
What Makes ELEVATE Unique
Not all hyaluronic acid formulas are created equal. The efficacy of these serums comes down to how the ingredients complement one another.
Here’s a breakdown of ELEVATE’s all-natural ingredients and how they work together to deliver the best results for your skin.

How to use
When we were creating ELEVATE, we wanted to design a product that was highly effective, 100% natural, and simple to use.
The beauty of The Six, our signature skincare collection, is that it functions as an all-encompassing routine you can rely on throughout your lifetime (like we have been!!). We’ve designed our serum to slip seamlessly into this routine, and elevate the whole process.
In the morning…
- Apply ELEVATE to face, lips, neck and hands.
- Moisturize with NOURISH to lock in hydration.
- Apply sunscreen.
In the evening…
- Cleanse with our non-foaming cleanser.
- Tone with BALANCE, or another alcohol-free, natural toner.
- Apply ELEVATE.
- Moisturize with GLOW for deep nourishment overnight.
A Must-Have Serum in Your Routine
Lake+Main entered the skincare space with the goal of quieting the noise in the industry with natural, simple to understand products.
We’ve been using these products for decades. ELEVATE is our newest staple, we can’t wait to enjoy its benefits with you for years to come.
