Can niacinamide be used with vitamin C?

Yes! Niacinamide and vitamin C can be used together to enhance brightening, reduce redness, and protect against environmental damage. While older studies suggested they might counteract each other, modern formulations are stable. For best results, apply vitamin C first, let it absorb, then follow with niacinamide serum.

Can niacinamide be used with retinol?

Absolutely! Niacinamide and retinol are a perfect combination. Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, reduces irritation, and controls oil, helping the skin better tolerate retinol. Apply niacinamide first, let it absorb, and then apply retinol at night for smoother, healthier skin.

Can niacinamide cause purging?

No, niacinamide does not cause purging. Unlike exfoliating acids or retinoids, it does not increase cell turnover. However, some people may experience temporary irritation or breakouts when introducing a new product. Start with a lower concentration (2-5%) and gradually increase if needed.

What does niacinamide do to the skin?

Niacinamide is a multifunctional skincare ingredient that:
- Reduces redness and inflammation
- Minimizes the appearance of pores
- Balances oil production
- Strengthens the skin barrier
- Fades dark spots and improves skin tone
It’s a gentle, non-irritating ingredient suitable for all skin types.

The best niacinamide serums contain 5-10% niacinamide, combined with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or zinc for added hydration and barrier support. Medical-grade niacinamide serums at Dermacart are dermatologist-approved, offering clinically proven results for clearer, healthier skin.

Is your routine all set?

A full skincare routine is essential because your skin needs more than basic cleansing and hydration to stay healthy. Cleansers remove dirt, but serums target specific issues like aging or dark spots, while moisturizers lock in hydration and sunscreen protects from damage. Investing in the full routine ensures long-term skin health and visible results.
