Can you use hyaluronic acid with niacinamide?
Yes — hyaluronic acid layers with absolutely everything. It has no pH dependencies and no active conflicts.
Why
Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture into the skin and plumps fine lines. As a humectant it works passively to draw moisture in, with no chemistry that interferes with active ingredients.
How to layer them
Apply hyaluronic acid first on damp skin so it can pull moisture both directions, wait 30 seconds, then niacinamide, then a moisturiser to seal everything in.
