Do you have a toner?
Common conclusions
Right after washing and toning, Niacinamide serums are best added. These serums are typically water-based, and so should be applied before any moisturisers and thicker serums based on oil. This guarantees optimum serum absorption and efficacy. You should use the serum on the entire face to ensure that the areas of high sebum production are covered uniformly. Niacinamide can be used both morning and night.
You should not mix Niacinamide Serum with Vitamin C. You can always use niacinamide serum in the morning and vitamin C at night, or even alternate days.
Niacinamide has a powerful hyperpigmentation-blitzing effect. Some research has shown that 5 percent concentrations of Niacinamide can be effective in lightening dark spots. You should try out the The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% , Paula’s Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster, etc. You could apply it both a morning and night.
It is recommended that you first apply niacinamide and then follow it with retinol if you are using these ingredients in different products. Applying niacinamide first will help protect the skin from retinol effects ( niacinamide helps hydrate the skin, which reduces the risk of irritation caused by retinol).
If you are adding a niacinamide treatment into your routine, use it after cleansing and toning.
It is Ok, you can use the niacinamide serum and skip the toner. Use it after cleansing and before moisturizing.
