Adding Mugwort Extract and Niacinamide to your routine

  1. Good news first: these two get along, so there is no special order or waiting period to manage.
  2. Still add them one at a time, a week or two apart, so if your skin does react you know which one to look at.

For your skin type Sensitive skin should ease in gently: Niacinamide can be mildly irritating on its own, and more so alongside another active. On the upside, Mugwort Extract leans hydrating or soothing, which helps buffer the rest.
