Can Niacinamide and Vitamin C be mixed together?
Yes, of course, if you want two ingredients that provide optimal, healthy skin, then hyaluronic acid and vitamin C are the way to go.
What happens when niacinamide and vitamin C are mixed?
I mentioned earlier that mixing niacinamide and vitamin C was once considered a bad idea because it would create niacin, a solution that causes flushing and redness in the skin, sometimes giving the skin a yellow appearance. In modern formulations, ascorbic acid and niacinamide can still form niacin, but the main difference is that a lot of heat over a longer period of time is required to trigger this reaction. It doesn’t happen often, and the combination of these two powerful benefits can be your secret weapon to rejuvenated skin.
Can I use Vitamin C in the morning and Niacinamide at night?
Of course, using skincare with Vitamin C in the morning and Niacinamide at night is the best way to get these two powerful benefits, especially if you have a skin type that is prone to sensitivity and other skin issues, such as redness and irritation.
These are some examples of how to use Vitamin C and Niacinamide together. As I mentioned before, it’s important to remember that if you’re incorporating these ingredients into your skincare routine for the first time, always do a 24-hour patch test before applying the products all over your skin.
