Two Skincare Superstars Everyone’s Talking About
When it comes to achieving brighter, more even-toned skin, two ingredients dominate the conversation: vitamin C and niacinamide.
They both promise radiance, but in different ways — and here’s the good news: you don’t have to choose between them. In fact, at EpiLynx, we love them both so much that every single product we make contains niacinamide, and we’ve crafted a powerful Vitamin C Serum designed to work perfectly alongside it.
Vitamin C: The Glow-Boosting Antioxidant
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid and its derivatives) is a potent antioxidant that helps:
-
Fade dark spots by inhibiting melanin production (source).
-
Protect against free radical damage from pollution and UV rays.
-
Stimulate collagen production for firmer skin.
-
Even skin tone by reducing redness and hyperpigmentation.
Our EpiLynx Brightening Vitamin C Serum contains a stabilized form of vitamin C that maintains potency while minimizing irritation — perfect for sensitive skin.
Niacinamide: The Skin Barrier’s Best Friend
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is one of the most versatile and gentle actives in skincare. It:
-
Reduces redness and calms irritation.
-
Minimizes pores by regulating sebum production.
-
Improves skin elasticity and smoothness.
-
Strengthens the skin barrier so it can retain moisture better.
-
Brightens by preventing pigment transfer to skin cells (source).
At EpiLynx, every single formula contains niacinamide, whether it’s a cleanser, moisturizer, or serum — because healthy skin starts with a strong barrier.
Do Vitamin C and Niacinamide Work Together?
Old myth: You can’t mix vitamin C and niacinamide.
Truth: Modern research shows they work beautifully together — and combining them can enhance both of their effects.
Vitamin C protects skin from oxidative damage, while niacinamide reduces inflammation and reinforces your skin barrier. The result?
That’s why pairing the EpiLynx Vitamin C Serum with our niacinamide-infused moisturizers and creams is a no-brainer.
How to Use Vitamin C and Niacinamide in Your Routine
Morning:
-
Cleanser
-
Moisturizer (with niacinamide — all EpiLynx moisturizers have it!)
-
Sunscreen
Vitamin C in the morning helps neutralize free radicals from UV exposure throughout the day.
Evening:
-
Cleanser
-
Hydrating Serum (with niacinamide)
-
Retinol (optional, on alternate nights)
Niacinamide at night helps calm the skin and repair daily stress damage.
Choosing the Right Vitamin C for Sensitive Skin
Some vitamin C products can sting or irritate — especially for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. That’s why our formula uses:
-
Stabilized vitamin C — less oxidation, more potency.
-
Hydrating base with hyaluronic acid to cushion and soothe.
-
Niacinamide synergy — included in all our products for added barrier support.
Why EpiLynx Always Includes Niacinamide
We believe skin health > quick fixes. Niacinamide is one of the few actives that benefits nearly every skin type and concern: hydration, redness, acne, pigmentation, fine lines.
By including it in every formula, we ensure your skin gets consistent barrier repair no matter what product you’re using — so even potent actives like vitamin C and retinol feel gentler and work better over time.

Final Takeaway
It’s not Vitamin C vs Niacinamide — it’s Vitamin C + Niacinamide.
Together, they brighten, protect, soothe, and strengthen your skin — making them one of the best power couples in skincare. And with EpiLynx, you get the best of both worlds: a potent yet gentle Vitamin C Serum and niacinamide in every single product to ensure your skin stays healthy, hydrated, and glowing.
