What does it do for the skin?
Niacinamide offers a range of advantages for the skin, notably in addressing issues such as inflammation, lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, as well as improving the appearance of pores and regulating skin oil levels.

Can it be used with other skincare ingredients?

Is it suitable for all skin types?
Niacinamide is known for its versatility and is generally considered suitable for all skin types, including:

Normal Skin: Maintains overall skin health and refines texture.

Oily Skin: Regulates sebum to control oiliness and prevent breakouts.

Dry Skin: Strengthens the skin's barrier for improved moisture retention.

Sensitive Skin: Often well-tolerated due to anti-inflammatory properties, but patch-testing is advised.

Aging Skin: Addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

Acne-Prone Skin: Reduces redness and inflammation associated with acne.

Start with a lower concentration if sensitive and consult a dermatologist for specific concerns.

Is there a specific order in which it should be applied and how should I use it?
The order in which you apply niacinamide in your skincare routine is flexible, as you can use it day or night. Here is a general guideline for its application:

Cleanser: Start with a gentle cleanser.

Other Serums (If Used): Apply them after Niacinamide. Keeping in mind the consistency of the product (thinner to thicker).

Moisturizer: Lock in hydration with moisturizer.

Sunscreen (Morning Routine): Finish with sunscreen for UV protection.
