Can you use niacinamide with panthenol?
Yes — panthenol is one of the gentlest, most compatible ingredients in skincare. It layers fine with niacinamide and can actually improve tolerance.
Why
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) soothes irritation, supports the barrier, and adds hydration. It has no pH dependencies, no irritation profile, and no conflicts with active ingredients.
How to layer them
Apply panthenol as a hydrating or calming layer in your routine — typically after cleansing and before heavier products. Then layer niacinamide as normal. Either AM or PM works.
