Here are some quick tips on using Niacinamide. The key with Niacinamide for me is to not get carried away with high % formulas that excite the “eyes” yet my skin doesn’t necessarily need.
If you are like me and you like to pair your niacinamide with other actives, then treading carefully with high % Niacinamide will be important.
Beamwonder Tips:
1. It has been a long-standing myth that Vitamin C and Niacinamide can never be paired together in the same formula. Vitabrid C12 is a Vitamin C and 5% Niacinamide formula in a great non-irritating powdered form that outright debunks this myth. .
2. If your skin is sensitive or you are suffering from some sensitivity issues, then a lower % of Niacinamide (at or below 5%) will be ideal. You will still get great benefits while lowering your risk of side effects.
3. If you notice your Niacinamide formula is having a drying effect on your skin try alternating days of use.
