Which serum first? A simple order for your routine
Vitamin C in the morning, niacinamide any time, salicylic acid at night. Here is how to layer them without irritation.
Serums work best when you give each one a job.
Morning: protect
Use a vitamin C serum after cleansing, then moisturiser and SPF. Vitamin C helps fade dark spots and gives dull skin a lift.
Any time: balance
Niacinamide suits almost every skin type. It controls oil, refines pores and plays well with other actives.
Night: clear
Salicylic acid clears clogged pores. Start with two nights a week and build up if your skin is happy.
One rule
Add one new active at a time and wait two weeks before adding another.
