Niacinamide and bakuchiol: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying niacinamide first to calm the skin and support the barrier before smoothing on bakuchiol. Niacinamide calms redness and strengthens the skin, which helps bakuchiol work smoothly without causing irritation. If your skin feels sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or switch to a gentler product.
