Vitamin C - Do you recommend applying in the AM or PM. My current routine: TO Alpha Arbutin 2 + HA (AM) and TO Nia 10 + Zinc 1 (PM)

Vitamin C in the morning. The science behind that is that it is an antioxidant and reduces free radicals which are caused by the UV rays from the sun. Don't use Niacinamide at the same time. I have used Niacinamide and vitamin C at different points in the day but NEVER together. For a while I was using a vitamin C in the morning and Niacinamide at night. Never caused issues. Careful with the alpha-a. Maybe use it every other day or 2-3 times a week.

Why careful with alpha-arbutin? I use it in the am and pm at the moment
level 2
Can you use an AHA or BHA at the same time as niaciniamide? Currently my routine (minus hydration and cleansing) is as follows: vit C in the morning and niacinamide OR a BHA OR an AHA at night, with a 'niacinamide, active, niacinamide, other active' schedule. I'd like to use my niacinimade more frequently but I couldn't find anything concrete about whether or not you can use it as the same time as chemical exfoliants.

Any tip for adding tretinoin in there? I'm using niacinamide every morning and tretinoin a couple evenings per week. I've got a bottle of vit c I'd like to get started with and had thought it was best for mornings
level 2
Why do you recommend avoiding vitamin C and Niacinamide use at the same time?
level 2
What if I used a not pure Vit C product and Niacinamide?
I'm currently using both Fresh's Vitamin Nectar Glow Juice serum and TO Niacinamide+Zinc serum in the morning. Not sure if that is ok for my skin or if it reduces the products' efficacy.
level 1
I use both those products, but I swap them AM and PM because niacinamide helps control my forehead shine during the day.
level 2
I agree with this. I use the Ordinary Niacinamide powder blended into their HA serum because my face is a greasy greasy oil ball and it helps control that shine during the day.
That means I use the Vitamin C at night, it's worked well for me so far.
level 2
OP - just don't use Nia and Vit C at the same time. They don't go well together. Use Nia at night and Vit C + sunscreen during the day
level 2
What kind of Niacinamide do you use?
level 1
It is recommended in the morning because of its effects on external stress factors ( uv pollution etc). However, I know it should not be combined with an acid ( is alpha arbutin an acid? ).
level 1
I do mine at night and niacinamide in the morning. I thought we couldn't used both right after each other.
level 2
Yeah that's what I think. I'm thinking to swap too: like use Nia at night and Alpha Arbutin in the morning
level 2
you can use vitamin c before or after niacinamide IF it's a stable form of vit c. i use TO's ascorbyl glucoside 12% and then HA and then niacinamide in the morning.
level 2
I've heard this a a myth that has been debunked
