Can You Use Retinol With Niacinamide Safely?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In short \u2013 yes, you can use retinol with niacinamide. According to our in-house formulators, since niacinamide is so gentle and in so many skincare products now, you\u2019re probably using this ingredient in your regular routine <\/a>already. This article will break down what retinol and niacinamide are, and explain why niacinamide is used in many personalised formulas, serums<\/a> and moisturisers<\/a> we offer at Dermatica. <\/p>\n

What is Retinol?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Retinol<\/a> is a type of retinoid, derived from Vitamin A. It is the inactive form of retinoic acid, so it activates on the skin after it\u2019s applied. Active forms like tretinoin or adapalene<\/a> don\u2019t need to undergo this process. They are stronger, and work faster and more effectively \u2013 but you may experience some side effects<\/a> at the start. Another, even milder form of retinoid is named Retin-A<\/a>. [1]<\/p>\n

Benefits of Retinol<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our experts recommend retinoids for anybody looking to improve their overall skin health and maintain clear, youthful-looking skin long term. It\u2019s considered the gold standard treatment for signs of ageing like visible fine lines and wrinkles. Retinoids also treat active acne breakouts, hyperpigmentation from acne, sun damage<\/a> or melasma<\/a>, and uneven skin tone<\/a> or texture. [2]<\/p>\n

Retinol is available to buy over the counter, while retinoids like tretinoin must be prescribed by a dermatologist or a licensed service like Dermatica. Retinoids are not recommended for use while pregnant or breastfeeding<\/a>. [3] <\/p>\n

What is Niacinamide?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Niacinamide, also often listed as nicotinamide on ingredient lists, is a form of Vitamin B3.
\nBenefits of Niacinamide<\/p>\n

Niacinamide is an antioxidant that has become hugely popular in skincare for treating: [4]<\/p>\n

-Enlarged pores,
\n-Excess sebum (oil) production,
\n-Dullness and uneven skin tone,
\n-Dryness,
\n-Inflammation, such as redness, blemishes or irritation,
\n-Environmental damage from the sun, bacteria or free radicals, [5]
\n-Fine lines and wrinkles. <\/p>\n

Whether your skincare contains powerful, prescription-only ingredients, or the gentler ones available in a pharmacy or drugstore, think of niacinamide as \u201cthe active that plays well with others.\u201d On its own, niacinamide is less potent than many other actives. <\/p>\n

However, because it treats so many skin concerns and suits all skin types, this niacinamide can boost the effectiveness of the ingredients it\u2019s mixed with. [4] So despite not having the same wow-factor as ingredients like tretinoin, azelaic acid or adapalene, niacinamide shines when combined. <\/p>\n

Want to know more about niacinamide? Read our science-backed deepdive for more details here. <\/a><\/p>\n

What are active ingredients in skincare products? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Both retinol and niacinamide are \u201cactives\u201d or \u201cactive ingredients.\u201d <\/p>\n

Active ingredients target specific skin concerns, such as acne<\/a>, visible sun damage <\/a>or hyperpigmentation<\/a>. [6] When we think of actives, we might associate them with powerful exfoliants like glycolic acid<\/a>, retinoids (Vitamin A-derivatives including retinol, retinal and retinoids) or azelaic acid<\/a>. For most of us, these actives take a week or two to get used to \u2013 especially if you have sensitive skin. They are usually introduced into a skincare routine gradually to avoid too many side effects<\/a> from overloading or irritating the skin barrier. <\/p>\n

But active ingredients can also be gentle on the skin, and this doesn\u2019t take away from their potent anti-ageing, brightening or health-boosting properties. In fact, ingredients like ceramides,<\/a> Vitamin C<\/a> and hyaluronic acid<\/a> are actives, too. [7, 8]<\/p>\n

How to Combine Retinol and Niacinamide Safely<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can use retinol and niacinamide together safely, without any negative interactions between the two ingredients. <\/p>\n

Niacinamide is gentle and well tolerated, so you don\u2019t have to worry about using it too much or too often. Unless you have a specific allergy, it\u2019s suitable for all skin types too, including sensitive or rosacea-prone skin<\/a>. Niacinamide can also help reduce inflammation. [9] Plus, the longer you use it, the more it works to strengthen the delicate skin barrier, protecting you from environmental damage and noticeably improving your skin\u2019s overall appearance<\/a>. [10]<\/p>\n

Retinol, and retinoids generally, can boost collagen production<\/a> in the skin over time, reducing and preventing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Plus, it\u2019s able to help target acne breakouts, improve the look of uneven skin texture from scarring<\/a>, and fade areas of hyperpigmentation (dark spots<\/a>). [1]<\/p>\n

Both ingredients are exceptional, suitable for long-term use, and have decades of scientific research to support their benefits. Using both in your routine, whether that\u2019s in a personalised formula<\/a> or other skincare product, can make a positive difference by targeting a variety of skin issues at once. This, alongside daily broad-spectrum sunscreen<\/a>, will help you maintain a healthy-looking complexion. [11]<\/p>\n
