Generally, it is recommended to apply products containing salicylic acid first, followed by products containing niacinamide. This is because salicylic acid can cause skin irritation and it is best to apply it first and allow it to absorb before applying other products. Niacinamide is a more gentle ingredient, so applying it after salicylic acid will help reduce the risk of irritation.
