When it comes to powerhouse skincare ingredients, niacinamide and vitamin C are two of the most talked-about. Both boast impressive benefits for the skin, but understanding how they work, their differences, and how to incorporate them into your routine is key to achieving the best results. Below, Ruan Winter from Vitaderm breaks it down.
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin that supports the skin’s barrier, reduces inflammation, and helps with overall skin health. It’s known for its calming and protective properties, making it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Vitamin C, an antioxidant, is essential for brightening the skin, evening out skin tone, and protecting against environmental damage. It promotes collagen production and helps reduce hyperpigmentation, making it a go-to ingredient for radiant skin.
Key differences
While both ingredients help with brightening and evening out skin tone, they differ in how they achieve these results:
How to use Niacinamide and Vitamin C in your skincare routine
For optimal results, it’s essential to layer these ingredients correctly:
Can you use Niacinamide with Vitamin C?
Yes! Contrary to past misconceptions, niacinamide and vitamin C can be used together. When layered correctly, they complement each other well – vitamin C brightens and protects, while niacinamide soothes and reinforces the skin barrier.
Products from Vitaderm that include these powerhouse ingredients:
The Purifying Treatment Cream comprises three main ingredients: Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid and Jojoba Extract. The product helps to maintain the integrity of the acid-pH of the skin, offering natural resistance against bacterial infection and assisting in clearing blocked pores. Extracts of tea tree and aloe further enhance the anti-inflammatory effect, leaving your skin feeling hydrated and soothed. The formulation also assists in the prevention of ingrown hair following wax treatments. The product should only be applied at night.
This Radian-C Serum is a light-weight gel-serum formulated with a new generation Vitamin C in its purest form. Breakthrough technology allows the bio-available Vitamin C to be released into the deeper layers of the skin to brighten the complexion and increase skin radiance and softness. Hyaluronic acid has been added to the formulation to further increase the effectiveness of this serum by boosting skin hydration and minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with regular use. Ideal for all skin types, including oily/acne-prone complexions.
As Winter explains: “Using niacinamide and vitamin C together can create a powerhouse combination for healthier, more resilient skin. It’s about choosing the right formulations that work in harmony with your skin type.”
