Niacinamide and lauric acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them at different times of day, applying niacinamide first and lauric acid later, to keep your skin calm and balanced. Niacinamide helps strengthen your skin barrier, while lauric acid can sometimes cause irritation if used heavily at once. You can try a lower strength or wait longer between applying them if your skin feels sensitive.
