Niacinamide for Skin

“It’s just crazy to me how much niacinamide wrecked my skin. I thought I had adult acne. I went to so many beauticians and dermatologists, did so many acne treatments. For years I couldn’t get it under control. It was like this at my wedding :( Then I saw someone on here say they couldn’t handle niacinamide, and I remembered a reaction I had once to the inkey lists niacinamide. That’s when I realised niacinamide was in everything I used. Cleanser, moisturiser, serums, sunscreen, all of it. I cut it out, and here’s my skin 1.5 years later!”

“Honestly, at first, I thought niacinamide was an HG ingredient for me. For reference my skin is oily, pimple prone, 26F I first tried niacinamide from the Ordinary 10% with Zinc. The product made wonders for my skin which was covered in severe not deep pimples all over my face at that time. When I was applying this product, the blemishes brightened the next day and most of the pimples would also dry out. Then after my skin healed and the bottle was already used up. Afterward, I took a break and purchased Purito 2% niacinamide toner and at that time I was using many other...”

“People are not warned that the 10% niacinamide serums have much more niacinamide than the skin needs and can cause sensitization. Some people are using 10% serum twice a day. Dermatologists online like Dr Daniel Sugai on YouTube are saying they are seeing a lot of patients with skin irritation caused by niacinamide. More of a good thing is not always better and particularly when it comes to chemicals for improving skin.”
