Yes, salicylic acid and niacinamide can be used together safely, and when formulated correctly, they actually work better together.
Salicylic acid helps clear congestion inside the pores and reduce breakouts, while niacinamide supports oil regulation, calms inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier.
The issue arises when these ingredients are layered separately in high strengths or poorly formulated products, which can increase irritation.
Rejuvaus uses encapsulated salicylic acid alongside encapsulated niacinamide, allowing both actives to be released gradually and work synergistically without overwhelming the skin.
This approach delivers effective acne correction while maintaining tolerance and barrier integrity, making the combination suitable even for sensitive or adult acne-prone skin.
