Niacinamide vs. Vitamin C: Which One Does Your Skin Need?

Both niacinamide and Vitamin C are beloved in skincare—but which one should you choose?

Niacinamide is calming, strengthens your skin barrier, minimizes pores, and regulates oil. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and pairs well with most other ingredients.

Vitamin C is your go-to for brightening, fading dark spots, and boosting collagen. It can be a little intense for sensitive skin but works wonders for dullness and sun damage.

Want the best of both worlds? Use niacinamide in the morning with SPF, and Vitamin C at night—or alternate days to keep your skin happy and glowing.
