Is there anything I shouldn’t use with Niacinimide?

I get so confused as to what you can’t use together.

Thanks.

I would have to say vitamin C would be the one to be concerned with if the VC is of the ascorbic acid variety. When applied together (cocktailed) the VC might lose a bit of it's acidity which could affect the VC absorbency. In this case application might be better if done about 15 to 20 minutes apart when layering those two. I don't think it matters which one is applied first. I prefer to apply VC first thing after cleansing.

Niacinamide is just Vitamin B3. It's one of the wonder ingredients. Cheap and makes the skin look great. It's the real secret ingredient in most of the less-expensive anti-aging lines like Olay.

You don't need to worry about combining it. Now niacin, be careful of. That will cause flushing. They sometimes put that in lip plumpers. But niacinamide isn't exactly the same thing.

@Porcelain

You're right about the NAM not causing flushing. I don't know what I was thinking when I posted my info. I changed my post. thanks

Just a note about Nicotinamide: It is being used successfully to treat and manage acitnic keratosis which are pre-cancerous squamous skin cancers.
