Niacinamide + vitamin C
What the sources say
GoodRx's dermatology explainer says you can use niacinamide and vitamin C together, and that they work in different ways. We have not tested this pair ourselves.
Where it can still go wrong
Both can irritate some skin, especially at higher strengths or on a damaged barrier. A product's pH, strength and the rest of the formula change how it feels, and a checker cannot see those. If you notice stinging, redness or peeling, stop the newer product and let skin settle.
A cautious way to start
Add one at a time for a week or two, test a small patch first, and follow each product's label. Ask a clinician or pharmacist if you use prescription treatments or have a skin condition. Cosmetic guidance, not medical advice.

AAD: testing skincare products
The first source supports the "can be used together" point. It is a consumer health explainer, not a trial of any specific product pair. The AAD page supports patch-testing.
