How To Add Niacinamide To Your Skincare Routine

You can use niacinamide either in supplement form or topically in your skincare products.

One of the best ways to add niacinamide to your skincare routine is by using a niacinamide-based serum or cream. It is best to use serums immediately after washing your face or after you’ve washed your face and used a gentle toner. For niacinamide creams and moisturizers, you can add a light layer to your face as the last step into your routine. If you’ll be going out during the day, don’t forget to put on your sunscreen!

Typically, you will begin to see the results of using niacinamide anywhere between 8-12 weeks. For the best results, consider using your niacinamide products twice a day, and be careful not to mix it with other AHA ingredients such as glycolic acid or lactic acid.

Remember, everything good takes time! Make sure you’re patient with whatever new routine you start using and always research the brands you buy to avoid using fake or unhealthy products. If you’re new to niacinamide, we can’t wait to see you try it out and enjoy glowing, flawless, skin!
