Niacinamide
Calms, controls oil, fades marksWhat it does
The all-rounder. Niacinamide (around 5%) calms redness, controls oil, shrinks the look of pores and fades post-acne marks. It's one of the gentlest actives - irritation rating zero in Nitavera's ingredient data.
How to use it
A serum after cleansing, morning and/or night. No scheduling puzzles - it layers under or over almost anything.
What not to mix it with
No scheduling enemies in Nitavera's 15 conflict pairs - this one layers easily.
What it gets along with
Famous for getting along: fine with vitamin C (the cancel-out story is a myth), calming next to retinoids, and friendly with peptides and hydrators.
