Niacinamide and zinc
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying niacinamide first and zinc second to help control excess oil and soothe skin. Niacinamide and zinc work as a team to calm redness and keep your skin clear of breakouts. If your skin feels sensitive, try using a lower strength or applying them on alternate days.
