Niacinamide is a “skin-friendly” ingredient, but there are a few nuances to keep in mind:

Ideal combinations: retinol (niacinamide helps reduce the irritation caused by it), zinc (for blemish-prone skin), hyaluronic acid (for hydration), and SPF filters.

Use with caution: vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid. In an acidic environment, niacinamide may convert into nicotinic acid, which can cause itching or flushing. It is recommended to use them at different times of the day (morning/evening) or choose a stable form of vitamin C.

Common mistakes: using high concentrations (10%+) on compromised or very sensitive skin without an adaptation period may cause a burning sensation.
