- Patch Testing: Always perform a patch test prior to first use, especially if you have sensitive skin or are introducing new active ingredients into your routine.
Tips & Warnings
- Vitamin C Interaction: Avoid mixing with direct Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) products in the same routine. Niacinamide can affect the integrity and efficacy of Vitamin C if used simultaneously. It's best to apply them at alternate times (e.g., Vitamin C in the morning, Niacinamide in the evening).
- Irritation: If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
- Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability and effectiveness.
- Acne Treatment: While Niacinamide and Zinc PCA manage blemishes and sebum, they are not a direct treatment for persistent acne. For ongoing acne concerns, consulting a dermatologist is advised.
