Niacinimide and Retinol

Help please :).  I'm new to using Retinol and just ordered the Ordinary retinol .5% serum.  I'm using Ordinary Niacinimide and Zinc now.  Not sure in what order I should use these products.

 

I know not to start off too quickly using retinol but wasn't sure if I should switch the niacinimide to daytime or if it is safe to use both the retinol and niacinimide at the same time.

You can absolutely use niacinamide and retinol together. Heck, the retinol I'm using has niacinamide built right into it 🙂 If you're worried about it though, you can skip niacinamide on the days you use retinol; if you're starting off slowly, that's only one or two days a week anyways. But they can absolutely be layered together if desired.
