You’re using niacinamide face serum but still not seeing results? The problem may not be the serum itself, but when you’re applying it. One of the most useful ingredients in skincare, niacinamide is well-known for its ability to minimize pores, brighten skin, and improve skin barrier health. However, as is the case with all ingredients, timing is just as important as consistency.
Determining when to use niacinamide serum can mean the difference between having skin that is glowing and even-toned and feeling as though your serum isn’t doing anything at all. The timing of application affects how well niacinamide interacts with your skin and other products in your routine, whether your goal is to strengthen your skin barrier, balance oil, or fade dark spots. Let’s break down the right timing, the wrong timing, and how to maximize results.
