Niacinamide and cholesterol
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying niacinamide first and following with a product containing cholesterol. Niacinamide helps your skin produce its own natural barrier oils, while cholesterol works directly to lock in that moisture and repair dry areas. You can use both daily without any special changes, as they naturally support each other.
