00:00:00.553 --> 00:00:02.678
Niacinamide or vitamin C?

00:00:02.991 --> 00:00:06.008
Before adding a serum, choose the job you

00:00:05.921 --> 00:00:06.727
want it to do.

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.578
A crowded bathroom shelf is not the same

00:00:09.491 --> 00:00:12.961
thing as a useful, comfortable skincare routine.

00:00:13.694 --> 00:00:17.084
Niacinamide is often chosen for barrier support and

00:00:16.997 --> 00:00:19.295
shine, and it may already be in your

00:00:19.208 --> 00:00:22.132
moisturiser. Read that label first.

00:00:22.459 --> 00:00:25.383
Another bottle may simply repeat an ingredient you

00:00:25.296 --> 00:00:26.248
already apply.

00:00:26.990 --> 00:00:30.154
Vitamin C is commonly used for uneven tone

00:00:30.493 --> 00:00:32.684
and visible signs of skin ageing.

00:00:32.997 --> 00:00:36.254
The complete formula matters, including how it feels

00:00:36.168 --> 00:00:39.918
under sunscreen. The ingredient name cannot predict every

00:00:39.831 --> 00:00:41.276
person’s experience.

00:00:42.046 --> 00:00:45.463
Introduce one product according to its directions while

00:00:45.377 --> 00:00:47.621
keeping the rest of the routine familiar.

00:00:47.894 --> 00:00:50.912
Record the start date and any discomfort.

00:00:51.224 --> 00:00:54.615
Changing several actives together makes the result harder

00:00:54.528 --> 00:00:55.494
to understand.

00:00:56.282 --> 00:00:58.793
Neither ingredient replaces sunscreen.

00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.870
If a serum pills underneath it, do not

00:01:01.783 --> 00:01:04.601
fix the problem by using less sun protection.

00:01:04.874 --> 00:01:08.943
Review the product directions, amount and texture instead

00:01:08.856 --> 00:01:10.475
of forcing the combination.

00:01:11.235 --> 00:01:13.652
Choose the simplest routine that has a clear

00:01:13.552 --> 00:01:15.717
purpose and feels comfortable.

00:01:16.043 --> 00:01:18.927
The full comparison below helps you check overlap,

00:01:19.294 --> 00:01:22.657
introduce a product and decide whether another serum

00:01:22.624 --> 00:01:23.643
earns its place.
