Serums to Avoid Combining with Niacinamide:
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid):
- Reason: Combining niacinamide and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in the same routine can potentially lead to reduced effectiveness of both ingredients and increase the risk of irritation.
- How to Use: Apply vitamin C serum in the morning and niacinamide serum in the evening.
AHAs/BHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids/Beta Hydroxy Acids):
- Reason: Using niacinamide with strong exfoliating acids (like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or lactic acid) can cause irritation and reduce the efficacy of both products.
- How to Use: Alternate nights for niacinamide and AHAs/BHAs or use niacinamide in the morning and AHAs/BHAs in the evening.
Benzoyl Peroxide:
- Reason: Benzoyl peroxide can oxidize niacinamide, rendering it less effective and potentially causing irritation.
- How to Use: Apply benzoyl peroxide treatment separately, ideally on alternate days or at a different time of day.
