Q. Can niacinamide cause sensitivity, redness or irritation?
A. Niacinamide typically doesn’t cause redness, sensitivity or irritation. However, some people may experience brief flushing when pure niacinamide and vitamin C are used together. This combination can convert niacinamide to niacin, which may trigger temporary redness. However, if this continues, you may discontinue using these two activies together & choose to use them in separate routines.

Q. What I cannot mix with niacinamide?
A. While there are a lot of myths and misinformation about which ingredients you supposedly can’t mix with niacinamide, research shows that you can use niacinamide with retinol, vitamin C, hydroxy acids and other skin care ingredients safely.
Q. Is 10% niacinamide too strong?
A. While 10% niacinamide is potent, it is a concentration that's safe to use. However, it may react differently on different skin. Therefore, we recommend patch testing first, and incorporating it slowly into your routine, watching how your skin responds.
Q. Can I use this serum around the eyes?
A. No! We recommend leaving the eye area and using the serum for the rest of the face & neck.
