Question
I'm currently using a Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) serum at 2%. If I increase the concentration to 4%, will the effectiveness improve? Are there any side effects to be aware of?
Answer
According to the information provided by cosmeceutical7:
Increasing the concentration of Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) from 2% to 4% will increase effectiveness in skin care.
However, be aware of Skin Flushing or skin redness, which is a potential side effect for some people.
The recommendation is to start with a low concentration first and gradually increase the concentration to allow the skin to gradually accept Niacinamide.
