Niacinamide and Vitamin C: How to Layer Them
A practical guide to introducing two popular skincare ingredients into a routine without overcomplicating it.
Niacinamide and vitamin C can both fit into a skincare routine. Start by choosing products that suit your skin and introducing one new formula at a time.
Apply products from the lightest texture to the richest, following the directions on each label. If your skin is sensitive, use the ingredients at different times of day and keep the rest of your routine simple.
Patch test new products and stop using them if irritation persists. For ongoing skin concerns, consult a dermatologist.
