Does It Mix engine · wait time

No special wait is needed. Apply Niacinamide first, give it a minute to absorb, then the other.

The routine

  1. Layer from thinnest to thickest texture.
  2. Finish with moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning.

FAQ

Does waiting 20 or 30 minutes between products help?

We haven't found good evidence that a set wait of many minutes changes how most skincare works. The practical reason to pause is letting each layer absorb so the next one doesn't pill or sting.
