Ingredient layering
Can you use Niacinamide and Retinal together?
Yes — great together
A great match — niacinamide helps skin tolerate retinal.
How to use them
Apply niacinamide, then retinal at night; or niacinamide in the morning, retinal at night.
Why
Niacinamide supports the barrier and can ease the dryness and redness retinal sometimes brings.
The ingredients, in plain terms
Ingredient
Niacinamide
The all-rounder — evens tone, calms redness, and tightens the look of pores without irritation.
Ingredient
Retinal
The fastest-acting OTC retinoid — smooths lines, evens tone, and unclogs pores with less irritation than retinol.
