Can I use Niacinamide with Saccharomyces/Caragana Sinica Root Ferment Extract?
Works well together
Niacinamide and Saccharomyces/Caragana Sinica Root Ferment Extract are generally compatible and can be layered in the same routine. As always, introduce one new active at a time and watch how your skin responds.
NiacinamideActive
- ✓Reduces redness and blotchiness
- ✓Supports the skin barrier
- ✓Regulates oil
- ✓Neutralizes free radicals via flavonoid antioxidants (quercetin, rutin, and stilbene derivatives), protecting skin from oxidative stress and premature aging
- ✓Inhibits tyrosinase and suppresses melanin production; key active alpha-viniferin shows potent tyrosinase inhibition — estimated ~35× the whitening potency of arbutin against MSH-induced melanogenesis
- ✓Fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae enhances tyrosinase inhibition above the unfermented extract by increasing polyphenol bioavailability
