Niacinamide vs Vitamin C – Can You Use Them Together?

on Sep 11, 2025
Introduction Niacinamide and Vitamin C are two powerhouse actives often used in modern skincare. While older research once suggested they couldn’t be combined, new studies and advanced formulations show they can work beautifully together when used correctly. Niacinamide Reduces redness and regulates oil production (PubMed) Strengthens the skin barrier, improving resilience (DermNet NZ) Brightens uneven tone and reduces the look of dark spots Vitamin C Potent antioxidant that fights free radical damage (PubMed) Supports collagen production for firmer-looking skin Brightens dullness and improves overall skin radiance Combination Modern skincare science confirms that Niacinamide and Vitamin C can be layered safely. Many dermatologists recommend using Vitamin C in the morning to protect against environmental damage, and Niacinamide either morning or evening for its calming and oil-balancing benefits. If you prefer simplicity, look for a well-formulated serum that combines both in a single step. Real-World Insight We’ve seen incredible results from customers using this combination. Many report fewer breakouts, reduced redness, and a noticeable glow when using Niacinamide and Vitamin C consistently. The key is consistency and using formulas designed to be gentle on all skin types.
