Quick answer
Apply your niacinamide serum first, then follow with a mineral SPF moisturizer to lock in hydration and ensure broad-spectrum protection.
Why order matters
Niacinamide is a water-based active that works best when applied to clean, damp skin. Mineral sunscreens, like those with zinc oxide, need to form an even film on top of your skincare to provide reliable SPF protection. Applying mineral SPF before niacinamide can dilute the sunscreen and reduce its efficacy.
Choosing the right mineral SPF moisturizer
Look for a lightweight, daily mineral sunscreen that includes niacinamide for added complexion benefits. The Dew-Glow Moisturizer Mineral SPF 50 combines broad-spectrum protection with niacinamide and ethyl ascorbic acid to help visibly improve your skin's appearance.
Step-by-step layering guide
- Cleanse and prep: Start with a clean face. Apply your niacinamide serum to damp skin to help absorption. Common mistake: Applying niacinamide to dry skin can reduce absorption.
- Wait for serum to absorb: Allow the niacinamide serum to fully absorb for 1–2 minutes before moving to the next step. Checkpoint: If your skin still feels tacky, wait a little longer.
- Apply mineral SPF moisturizer: Generously apply your mineral SPF moisturizer, such as Dew-Glow Moisturizer Mineral SPF 50, using upward strokes. Ensure even coverage. Common mistake: Using too little product reduces SPF protection. Use a nickel-sized amount for your face.
