Unlike harsh actives, niacinamide suits all skin types—making it an easy daily addition .

Start with the Basics: Morning Use

Step 1: Cleanse. Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt without stripping hydration.

Step 2: Niacinamide Serum (5–10%) Use a thin layer on slightly damp skin. Begin with 5%, and go up to 10% once you're comfortable.

Step 3: Moisturiser with Ceramides Lock in your serum with a ceramide-rich lotion. Ceramides help seal in hydration and strengthen your skin’s defence.

Step 4: SPF Never skip sun protection—it's essential for barrier health and brightening.

Layer Smart: Evening Routine

Step 1: Double Cleanse Start with an oil or balm, then follow with a gentle cleanser.

Step 2: Niacinamide Again (Optional) You can repeat it in the PM if your skin feels balanced.

Step 3: Actives or Retinol. You can layer retinol or peptides, but niacinamide helps buffer irritation.

Step 4: Seal with Ceramides Overnight. Choose either the same moisturiser or a richer night cream.
