CAUTION: Mixing acids such as AHA, BHA, or ascorbic L with b3 leads to a chemical reaction produced by another compound called nicotinic acid. While nicotinic acid can cause redness for some individuals, it is not a harmful component. However, it does not have the same efficiency of pure Niasanamide.
