How to Incorporate Niacinamide into Your Skincare Routine

If you’re looking to elevate your skincare game, niacinamide is an ingredient you should definitely consider. This multitasking vitamin B3 derivative is celebrated for its ability to address a variety of skin concerns, from acne to uneven skin tone. Here’s how to seamlessly integrate niacinamide into your skincare routine for maximum benefits.


Morning and Evening Application

Niacinamide can be used both in the morning and evening. For your morning routine, apply a niacinamide serum after cleansing and before applying sunscreen. Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm the skin and regulate oil production throughout the day. In the evening, apply it after cleansing and before your moisturizer to help repair the skin barrier and boost hydration overnight.


Layering with Other Products

Niacinamide is versatile and can be layered with other skincare ingredients. For a well-rounded routine:

  • Niacinamide Cleansing Bar: Start with our cleansing to remove impurities and initially cleanse pores.
  • Vaporeize Serum: Apply niacinamide serum to target specific issues like enlarged pores. Start with our 10% Niacinamide Serum before building your tolerance for our 20% Niacinamide Serum concentration.
  • Moisturiser: Follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to lock in moisture and to enhance the benefits of niacinamide.
  • Sunscreen: During the day, finish with sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

How to get the most our of your Niacinamide

Niacinamide works well with other ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which provides additional hydration, and retinoids, which help with cell turnover. However, avoid using niacinamide with strong exfoliants like Salicylic acid, as this can cause irritation, especially if you have sensitive or damaged skin. Instead, use niacinamide in one part of your routine and exfoliants on different days.


Before fully incorporating niacinamide into your routine, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the product to a discrete area of your skin and wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions. This helps ensure that niacinamide is suitable for your skin type.


As with any skincare ingredient, consistency is essential. Incorporate niacinamide into your daily routine and give it a few weeks to start showing results. Regular use will help you achieve a clearer, more balanced complexion over time.


By following these tips, you can effectively incorporate niacinamide into your skincare routine and enjoy its numerous benefits. Whether you’re looking to tackle acne, improve and reduce the appearance of pores or brighten your complexion, niacinamide is a fantastic addition to your skincare arsenal.
