I love feeling like an educated consumer and being able to purchase skincare with confidence! Knowing what to spend money on and what these ingredients actually do for me. Thank you Nadine!
Can confirm that the Ordinary niacinamide made my nose look less "porey". I've run out a month or so ago and my nose is back to the way it was. It caused no irritation and an absolute bargain. Thanks for the prompt to re order Nadine 😀
I use the Ordinary and mix it with the hyaluronic acid every day. love it I started with Paula's Choice. the Ordinary is so much cost effective, I use several things from the Ordinary. Love watching you!
I am loving the Elta MD UV clear SPF 46 sunscreen with high-purity niacinamide (their words). I absolutely am noticing an improvement in my hyper pigmentation! 😁
I have been using The Ordinary Niacinamide for the past 4 moths and I love it! It really VISIBLY shrinks the pores after only one month, breakouts started to be less frequent and finally disappeared after 3 months. Not only it helps rebalance skin barrier but also restores uneven and dull skin (VISIBLY).
I have been using The Ordinary's Niacinamide for months and I love it. I started using it because last year, out of nowhere, every month, I would get a bad pimple on my chin; I have never had pimples ever. I already used Niod and Hylamide, so I tried and loved it; it stopped this hormonal chin nonsense.
I'm currently using Liquid Gold Intensive Night Repair Serum which has 5% niacinamide and I love it - I've noticed my high colouring has diminished which makes me want to keep on using it - thank you for highlighting the other product options
Great video as always! Literally I'm living in your advice! Could you please make a video about eye creams, serums for fine lines and also wrinkles? It would be very much appreciated! Ps: please never stop your blog and RUclips channel! :)
I see big difference in 2 days using The Ordinary Niacinamide. It shrinks my large pores specially the ones the cheeks under my eyes ☺️ it’s so amazing!
I use Niacinamide , Alfa Arbutin and Hyaluronic acid , all from The Ordinary and my skin never looked better. It is an improvment that I have noticed over few months. They have no quick results but I would not change them for any other brand. Love your videos....
I've been using The ordinary Niacinamide everyday (all over the face in the morning as part of my morning routine) for the past 5 months or so and it helped me so much with the greasiness of my skin..also my breakouts are much less frequent and when I have a blemish it helps it to heal sooner..oh and I no longer get cystic breakouts under and on my jawline. Fantastic product and not at all irritable (at least for my skin) ☺️
Kaja Race just ordered. The Paula's choice niacinamide, thanks to nadines recommendation. What order do you use your am products . Thank you In advance Kaja.
I'm the same, around 5 months use, my cystic acne has completely gone, my skin looks so much better and much less greasy, wondering if it will stop my scalp getting so greasy!
Kaja Race glad it's worked for you. The Ordinary one broke me out and a lot of other people I know (I'm in a skincare group on FB) had the same results. Not all formulas are created equal so I'm hopeful the Paula's choice booster will work for me.
Kaja Race don't forget that the 10% are boosters so formulated to mix with a Hyaluronic Acid Serum or hydrating lotion. Otherwise they can be irritating for sensitive skins. X
Finally! 🤗 I've always wondered about your take on this ingredient. I've been using Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide serum for a while now, and it works wonders. I use it sparingly because it's quite strong. So I use it every other day or so, and mix it into my AHA or BHA serums before I apply anything else. My skin stays smooth, supple, and glows. It's perfect under makeup. It also helps with pores and pigmentation fairly quickly too. I highly recommend it. Thanks for adding your stamp of approval Nadine~! 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Cerave has been my go to lotion for years. It is affordable and has niacinamide as well as ceramides. I also use the ordianary but only at night as it pills on me. Thank you as always for your info!
I, too, use Cerave products and am very happy with them. Day and night cream, eye cream and recently am trying their retinol product... jury is still out on that one.
I specifically use the Facial Moisturizing Lotion and the Skin Renewing Face Serum. Both have niacinamide as well as ceramides. And I like the Hydrating Cleanser.
Iq Random In the AM, I use the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser following by Alpha Skincare Essential Renewal Lotion w/ 10% glycolic acid, Dr. Carver's Miracle Repair Serum w/ hyaluronic acid and Cerave AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion. In the PM, I follow similar routine except I replace the glycolic acid w/ the Cerave Skin Renewing Cream Serum (retinol) and the Cerave PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion.
I have just started using Niacinamide. I bought mine via Amazon from a company called EVA. I believe it is a 5% serum. I have some enlarged pores on my nose and chin so I'm hoping I'll see some improvement using this product. But even if it doesn't provide a fabulous result for pore shrinkage, I know that it's going to be boosting collagen and helping to reduce inflammation, which I do get some redness on my face and have some broken capillaries around my nose, cheeks, and chin. I'm fair skinned and had darker auburn hair as a young woman. I'm now 62 and am trying to slow down the effects of aging of my skin. I love learning about good skin care. I'm a new subscriber and really like what I heard on your video. Thank you!
I have clear skin for the first time in 2 years. I added Manyo Factory's niacinamide serum, Galactomyces, from amazon for less than $25 for 50 mL. It is amazing.
Just wanted to say that there is a product called Cerave that also contains niacinamide's, peptides and highly Ronek acid and it's a drugstore products so reasonable on the budget. No alcohol in the ingredient list. Thank you for bringing all this information to us -, it's helpful to know when buying products and looking at ingredients what works and what doesn't. Keep up the great work!
I use the CeraVe PM moisturiser which I think contains 4% niacinamide. Will definitely try the Olay products now after this vlog. Thanks for clearing up the whole vitamin C, niacinamide debate too.
THANK YOU for addressing the vitamin C myth! I've been asked about this and thought that was the case. It's nice to hear it for certain from you! I'm on my 2nd bottle of Paula's Choice. I just slap it directly onto my sensitive skin with no problem whatsoever! Loved this video! 💕💕💕
Ooh. This is such great info. I’ve put The Ordinary straight onto my skin without diluting it first. And each time I did this, my skin was visibly irritated. Will try this again by adding into my moisturiser. Keep up the invaluable (skin education) work. Much, much appreciated. ♥️👍😁
There are a LOT more Niacinamide formulas out there, just to name a few. Eve Lom's Advanced Brightening also her new Time Retreat. Asap's B-Complex, Philosophy's No Reason To Hide is a lovely/basic formulation with Salicylic Acid - also their Brighten My Day Serum. Verso's Day Cream, Mizon even have some budget end Night Seruming for those want K-Beauty versions. Oskia's Renaissance Bright Light. The list could go on and on...
I had to watch this bc i love love love niacinamide!! The ordinary and Beautylish were out of stock yesterday and I was so stressed! They restocked today thank goodness! It makes a hugeeee noticeable difference in my skin! Thank you!! Xoxo!!!
I stopped the video to write this comment...and your hands are up like two little puppy paws when you are demonstrating the niacinamide...so cute! To the point...thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate your insight into skincare. I catch myself triple thinking ingredients before I purchase, and then I come to see if you have touched on it in a video. Take care:)
Great information. I have dry skin and slightly dehydrated during winter months. I have fine lines and enlarged pores. Can I use this with a BHA? Is it true BHA should not be applied to dry skin conditions? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I use the Ordinary niacinamide every night. I have never used it in the morning due the belief it does not play well with my vit c. Now I need to rethink that. Thank you.
Monika McGillicuddy I use it day and night without issue. Just don't use too much, it seeks that's the issue with a lot of people and the Ordinary products in general. If it pills you're probably using too much.
I have just used it at night right before I apply my retin-a. It's time I filmed an updated night time routine as when I derma roll I apply it right after that too.
Hi Monika💖, I, like you, sometimes get confused with all of the products and what I can later when. Lol!! Now, I too have added the ESHO SCULPT on top of everything else!! Lol My husband teases me that I have given him up for skincare because it takes me Soooooo long each night to prep my face, neck and decollalate before coming to bed😂😂. By the time I am finished, he is sawing wood!!! Lol
I've been using Amazing Argan two-phase complexion oil by a UK company called H&O Skincare. It's been life changing, honestly stubborn spots and scars that wouldn't go have nearly completely gone. The niacinamide in the oil is activated by massaging the skin with hot/ warm water after the oil is on the skin. I've been using it just over 8 months now and its only just under half way in the bottle. I've noticed such a remarkable improvement in my skin and I think the niacinamide has had a role to play.
So informative thanks Nadine! I really love Biologique Recherche P50 Pigm 400 which has niacinamide. I have tried Skinceuticals B3 serum but it makes me breakout in whiteheads. I've tried on my chest too and also got those horrible bumps. Do you know what it may be in the product? Some products do this to me and I never know what it is in the ingredient list 🙈. Thank you 😊
Hi Nadine, could you make a video about mixing and layering products. I think a lot of us would like to know what not to mix, no vitamin c and retinol, no retinol with acids, no vitamin c and acids etc. What is true, what is not... I personally get confused from time to time. Thank you!
Would you do a video on botanical/natural based products? I'm always drawn to them, but do they actually work? And if they do, which brands are best? 😊
Have you tried The Ordinary's new Vitamin C Susp. 30% in Silicone 30ml $6.80? Just curious about your thoughts on it. I didn't like the gritty version, but I am tempted to try this one. Also, The Ordinary's Regimen Guide says that true Vit C & Niacinamide conflict (not the Vit C derivatives).
I love how knowledgable you are about the various different ingredients in beauty products. I would love to know how you use them in a weekly skincare regime. I feel overwhelmed with all the different ingredients; H/acid, vitamin C, niacinamide etc. and so many suit my skin (first signs of ageing, sensitive but acne prone) Have you thought about doing a vlog showing your daily skincare regime or when to use or combine them? Would be really interested to see how you combine them all.
I have been using products with niacinamide fora while now. Most recently I have been using the Ordinary one all over my face morning and night along with the Ordinary hyaluronic acid one. However, please can you advise which I should use first - I thought the niacinamide as it feels lights like you say the video, but then your recent video about layering serums made me think I should be using the hyaluronic acid first as it is clearer than the niacinamide (which is a bit cloudier). Many thanks. Great informative content as always! 👍🏻
The new Marks and Spencer ultimate Sleep Cream that everyone is going mad for has niacinimide as the 3rd ingredient, and yet in its description only says it "contains hyaluronic acid and skin brightening actives". I'm surprised because with the advent of the m&s beauty hall, with all the amazing brands they now stock, I would have thought they'd have a bit more faith in their consumer to know what niacinimde is. The Olay regenerist luminous range (not the 3 point range mentioned in this video) is based on niacinimide (as most of the olay ranges are) but also includes some form of glucosamine which apparently they say must be present for niacinimide to work on melanin production. Ruth Crilly did a trial of it a few years ago if anyone wants to refer back.
Thanks for this Nadine, I follow you all the way from Cape Town I just love your videos. What would you use first the Niacinamide and then the Vit C serum? or the other way around
Love your videos on specific ingredients nadine! Another product which maybe isn't as potent but I have noticed has niacinamide in is the simple kind to skin soothing facial toner - top ingedients are Aqua, Sorbitol, Panthenol, Niacinamide ,Sodium Pca, Allantoin - so all good ones! And usually its on offer for £1.50!
Hi Nadine... Love your review on this topic... I have one question though... Can I use glycolic acid glow tonic before applying niacinamide serum for twice a day everyday? Will it help reduce my breakouts too? Thanks so much. You are the best.
Thank you for clarifying the Niacinamide/ Vit C dilemma !!! This has been very confusing . I am currenttly using Oskia Renaissance BrightLight serum which is with Niacinamide and so far I am very happy . I didn't like TO Niacinamide plus Zinc , the formula was off putting for me , it makes everything that apply after to roll .xx
I've used the 10% niacinamide from The Ordinary with good results. Some say Paula's Choice is better but it should be at 5 times the price. I really like Alpha H and have a vitamin A to start when I run out of my current retinoid. I wish however they would show their percentages - any idea what it might be? The copper peptide is a great added extra.
Hi Nadine, first I like to say that I love watching your videos! You are so brilliant and knowledgeable and I just love listening to you talk (I'm American and jealous of your beautiful accent) 😊 the first time I learned about niacinamide was from Korean skin care as they use this a lot in their skin care and have for years. I am 47, almost 48 and I am having issues with large pores and I started using the ordinary 10% 7-8 months ago and I do see a difference in the appears of my overall skin and texture and my makeup goes on much better and I'm just very happy with using niacinamide! Again thank you for all your great videos and sharing all your wisdom with all of us! 😀
Absolutely love the ordinary niacinamide, I am so glad I can use it with vitamin c!! I have been using that and the ordinary vitamin c in rotation, so will be great to use together! Thanks for your advice!
Should I use my Niacinamide before vitamin C? I usually put my vitamin C on before all other serums but thought I heard you say to put in on before. Thank you. Love your channel.
Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46 has 5% niacinamide. And there's the new Freederm serum, which is basically glycerine, niacinamide, and shea butter. The Freederm spot gels are 4% niacinamide, so I don't know if the serum is above 5%, but it's very pleasant to use. I use it at night under my tretinoin. I use the Elta SPF in the morning over my vitamin C.
Thank you for this informative video. Are you familiar and/or have experience using Verso Skincare? I would love to hear your take on their products in terms of effectiveness. They are quite pricy but claim to have stable and non irritating form of retinol that can be used daily both morning and night. Plus they have B3 in almost all they product line. Thank you in advance!
karin A they have a very similar Retinoid to the new generation The Ordinary ones x I think if you have lots of cash then great but they are super pricey
The Ordinary Niacinamide worked great for controlling sebum and minimised my pores. It was fantastic to begin with but then eventually I started getting cystic acne :( I wonder if I got an older version but I don't have the box anymore to check ingredients. Do you think I should try to get the new formulation?
Just ordered my Paula's Choice niacinamide. So to clarify , am use only? And cleanse, tone, Niacinamide , Clinique moisture boost, moisturizer, sunscreen? And Vitamin c at night with retinol? ( the vitamin c has be confused- am or pm? ) thank you Nadine.
Hi. I’m currently using Vit C Serum, So I now can safely layer another serum (B3) on top without having to wait? And REGARDLESS of B3 brand I can use with Vit C of any brand right? Thanks.
Great video thanks. Quick question for my pm routin. I use the ordinary products as follow. Hyaluronic acid on damp skin once that dries I use the buffet then I mix about 2 to 3 drops of the niaciamide into my cerave face moisturizer with 2 drops of the squalane oil. Is this ok ? Or should I disregard the squalane? Want to make sure I am not messing nothing up by mixing the niaciamide into my cerave face moisturizer. Thanks
Nadine:), I am using the following "The Ordinary" products: "Buffet", "Matrixyl", HA and then I go in with my Retinol by Cera Ve. In was using the Niacynamide by The Ordinary as well but stopped using it for some reason... is this too much?? Lol. I am 50 and have enlarged pores in my T zone, I am VERY dry and not sure how many products I can layer:). I live In the Southeast USA where it can get quite humid:(. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated !!;)
Hi Nadine, as I'm hearing about the importance of SPF so much, do you know any product that you can mix into other creams if they do not contain sun protection? Like some product which only contains SPF but no other active ingredients (and no fragrences and alcohol of course). Thank you. x
I use all ordinary products and this niacinimide will mix with any other products I love it, should I be using this before all other serums nadine ie after an acid toner? Ps love your videos they have literally changed my life by giving me the information needed to completely revamp my skincare routine, I can not thank you enough. I used dermalogica for over 20 years and while it worked fine I never saw a noticeable improvement in my skin, I have acne scarring and large pores. I’m also 37 so fine lines have just started to appear! After watching for quite some time I and finding out which products/ingredients I needed I bought the near enough the entire ordinary range and have never looked back. Thankyou thankyou thankyou 💕🙌🏽 x
Would love to hear your thoughts on the entire "NIA24" skincare line. They advertise the use of a pro-niacin molecule. Do you think it's worth the price hike or the ordinary is a good alternative? I've used one bottle of the ordinary already and my skin loved it but it was hard to wear during the day because of piling.
Hi Nadine. . I really love your videos.. Is it possible to mix vitamin c and niacinemide together in a diy serum? and can you please tell me what the must have ingredients are in a skincare regimen? I often buy active ingredients to mix in with my creams.. love it.. thank you so much for educating us..
Sara.Austin , in another comment above, she told the commenter that it was good to mix the niacinimide with Hyaluronic acid, half and half, since the person was having sensitivity problems with the strong Niacinimde 10%. The Ordinary has Hyaluronic Acid very sensibly priced too. I can't say if it's okay to mix it with other products like moisturizer, etc., but, personally, I think it would be okay. That's just my thoughts on it.
Also, I dont know about mixing it in powder form at all. You may really want to get an expert opinion on that. The Ordinary sells Niacinimide 10% in a liquid (a little bit thick liquid) form at a very good price, compared to most skincare lines. I've been using several products from The Ordinary for almost a year now, and I'm very pleased with them. The products are made by a very good, dependable skincare company. They cut corners in every way they can, except in the quality of the product itself. No fancy packaging, no fancy dispensers, etc. They say they want to produce good skincare that people can afford, not just rich people, but ordinary people, because they deserve to be able to care for their skin, too. Look up Wayne Goss, and Goss makeup chat on RUclips. There are like 5 to 10 videos. You need to try to watch them from the earliest to the newest, otherwise it will be a bit confusing. He explains a lot about The Ordinary. He doesn't work for them or anything, he just loves the products.
Sara. Austin, I'm sorry to write so much but just another thing: if you live in the U. S., as I do, I can tell you where I now order my The Ordinary products without paying tax or shipping (with a minimum order, I think). The clothing store ASOS online is carrying a fairly good selection, and last order I did, I ordered from them. I ordered a good amt. It was no taxes and free shipping. One more thing I'll mention is their Retinol 2%. It is the best I've found and I've been using it for years. Most Retin products will irritate your skin and make you peel when you first begin to use them, so the advice to start out slow. Skip days. Like use it 2 days a week for 3 weeks, then use it 3 days a week, and so on, like that. The Ordinary Retinol 2% is a fairly high strength for it to not be doctor's prescription required. But, this Retinol 2% was specially created and formulated to be the least likely to be irritating to your skin. I think they also claim little to no peeling, I can't remember exactly what it said. Anyway, I have NEVER been able to use any type of Retinoid product without going through an awful irritation, burning, and bad peeling for at least three or four weeks in the beginning, until I started using Retinol 2% from The Ordinary. And, it really works so well. I do still have minor peeling, but it's not too bad. Because, ultimately, to me, the peeling means and proves it is working. I used their Retinol 1% for a couple of months, and, yes, I was red and peeled for about 3 weeks or so. And , it was half the strength. I just love their Retinol 2%! Bye, now, and good luck!
Hi Nadine - I have just bought The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% with Zinc and I plan to use this in conjunction with my morning Clinique ID orange Glycolic/Salicylic/Taurine pump moisturiser before my Clinique City block SPF 40; you mention this is safe to be mixed with other moisturisers but I am just slightly concerned that with the ordinary's 10% of Niacinamide, could it be edging towards a bad reaction?... If anyone else reading this knows, any tips would be great! (they do scare you not to mix it with vitamin C on the ordinary's website hence my confused consumer alert!) Thank you !
@@NadineBaggott Thank you for your reply! I have used it all today and my skin tolerates it with barely any stinging (must be all the years I have had chemical peels/tretinoin courses have toughened my skin) xxx
Thank you so much! I am in my late twenties and I already have big pores I really need to take care of my skin, I am going to start using Retin A can I use Niacinamide with Retin A? Thanks so much! 😊
I love this! I've been using The Ordinary 10% N since Xmas and am looking for an all in one formula. Paula's choice RESIST ultra light super antioxidant (!) serum also contains niacinamide but I don't know how much. I have a sample and it seems nice. I need to know about "pentapeptide" as I'm quite a new follower! X
You reminded me I need to reorder the PC super light serum. It's heavenly! Didn't realize it contained niacinamide. You'll love Nadine! I'm always happy ẃhen she posts a new video.
Hi, i just subscribed your channel .My questions is :can i use same time evening tretinoin with niacinamide??and with obagi exfoderm forte? thank you :)
thank you for these very extensive and clear explanations - I hardly can bear vitamin C and not at all retinol, so niacinamide is a good choice - as well as bee apirary products, which contain tons of vitamin B in their natural form !
I use the PC 10%. I wasn't sure what it was doing at first, but now I love it as the next morning I can see the difference. Only use the booster as an extra top up 2 times a week as niacinimide is in my daily PC serum too.💋
Hi Nadine. Due to aging my pores on my cheeks nose and Chin have become extremely enlarged. I have never dealt with this problem before. So I have decided to order the niacinamide from the ordinary, in hopes that it will decrease the size of my pores. My question is... When I went to the ordinary website it states that I should use my vitamin C which I use every morning on Alternate days that I use the niacinamide. But I did hear you say that Paula from Paula's Choice used her vitamin C and niacinamide together on the same day. Can I do this with my drunk elephant vitamin C and the niacinamide from the ordinary. Or do I use them on separate days? I so hope this helps my pores shrink. Thank you.
I have been using Niacinamide from the Odrinary for about 6months. They recommended combining with Alpha Arbutin. It has helped with my pigmentation and redness. I will continue to use. The Ordinary website cautioned about using at the same time as Vitamin C.? I am considering trying their 30% when I finish my current C serum. Nice to know I can combine if I choose. Appreciate your research and videos:)
I am currently using Timeless Vitamin C and CoQ10 serums in the morning. After serums a moisturizer then Australian Gold Mineral sunscreen. In the evening after a double cleanse to remove makeup, I use the Alpha Arbutin, Niacinimide, hylauronic acid, then Retin A. I then finish with an oil and seal in with thick moisturizer cream. The Ordinary has a guide which is very helpful. I also like Renee from Gothamista You Yube channel. She has several very informative videos about The Ordinary. Also since watchng her I just purchased some Korean skincare from Pyunkang Yul. It is also reasonably priced. After finishing my Vit C from Timeless, I plan on purchasing the 30% fro the Ordinary. I may then use Vitamin C in evening since it can be combined with Niacinamide . As a rule I try to use the thinnest products first such as serums, then cream. I top with oil to aid penetration, then seal all in for the night. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
HIGHLY informative video, Nadine, thank you. I've just started using the Ordinary Niacinamide Zinc serum and it's been stinging when I put on - clearly I've been using A: too much, and B: should be mixing a drop into my Hada Labo Perfect Gel Cream before I seal in with Cerave Lotion! Will do that tonight 👍🏻🙏🏻
Hi Nadine :) I have tried using a couple of products containing Niacinamide, but my skin seems to break out from them :( especially The Ordinary's) my question is: can niacinamide cause breakouts or is it just a reaction/purging?
Hi nadine ! I am very confused ....can you make a video axplaining how to use retinol,vitamin c,hacid all together?ive placed an order but i am confused..retinol and vitamin c only at nihgt?love from Greece
don't combine retinol and vitamin c. don't use any acids or retinol in summer, at all. when the temperature drops, you can start using it. and only at night, because we have extremely sunny weather. you can use HA all the time, morning and evening, whenever you want.
Very informative video Nadine 😊 La Roche posay Effaclar duo+ and Kiehl's breakout control targeted blemish treatment also contain niacinamide, they don't give the percentage though.
I just finished a Alpha copperpeptide bottle, it lasts a *huge* amount of time, but I don't think it worked for my pigmentations (maybe prevented others from coming this summer, but I was also religiously with Spf), but for random spots yes. I tried the Ordinary niacinamide but the pigmentations were not influenced. is there another product that targets enlarged pores? I'm using retinol now twice a week, but a booster during the day might help
Hello thank you for the information, I'm using Avene compact sunscreen, can I use ordinary niacinamide under the sunscreen as I have pigmentation on my cheeks?
Oskia Renaissance Brightlight Serum is one - it isn't totally obvious but it does list Niacinamide on its packaging. It's primary function is to reduce pigmentation which I don't think it was actually that great at doing, however it did help to reduce inflammation from my breakout-prone skin and I also noticed a difference in pore size so it was definitely worth trying. Quite a pricey one though!
Hi Nadine, i hope you read it and maybe help? I use retinol 1 on my face but recently I accidentally put a bit under my eyes and the skin is now wrinkly. I'm worried I damaged the skin. Do you think it will go back to normal ? I'm new to the Ordinary products. Im sorry if my question sounds silly.
agnie lysik don't panic it's probably just dried out the surface layers and as soon as these exfoliate off your skin will be fine x stick on lots of Hyaluronic Acid in the meantime
Thank you - for me, it is a newly discovered ingredient that I'm really loving. I've found it has really helped the skin along my jawline and overall helped the texture of my skin. The Alpha H one looks really interesting might need to try that and thank you for debunking the myth about Niacinamide and Vitamin C. I use the Ordinary one, the Glossier Super Pure serum and a few of my moisturisers also have it listed as an ingredient.
I've been using the garden of wisdom, what I love about it compared to many shown on this video is the pump feature. Eye drop type bottles are a serious turn off. 1. HUGE risk of me spilling it. 2. It exposes the solution to air and light.
I love feeling like an educated consumer and being able to purchase skincare with confidence! Knowing what to spend money on and what these ingredients actually do for me. Thank you Nadine!
Can confirm that the Ordinary niacinamide made my nose look less "porey". I've run out a month or so ago and my nose is back to the way it was. It caused no irritation and an absolute bargain. Thanks for the prompt to re order Nadine 😀
Beverley Thompson try the 5% mandelic acid by klairs, it made my pores to cicatrize ! better than anything else.
Beverley Thompson wow! I'm looking for something to reduce me pores.
Me too my pores came smaller than before

I have been using The Ordinary Niacinamide for the past 4 moths and I love it! It really VISIBLY shrinks the pores after only one month, breakouts started to be less frequent and finally disappeared after 3 months. Not only it helps rebalance skin barrier but also restores uneven and dull skin (VISIBLY).
Could you tell me how much percent niacinamide it has in it
Been using the Olay skin perfecting serum, impressed that its second ingredient is niacinamide. Like it a lot.
Wow the skincare community is so much better than the beauty community on yt. So informative thank you
I have been using The Ordinary's Niacinamide for months and I love it. I started using it because last year, out of nowhere, every month, I would get a bad pimple on my chin; I have never had pimples ever. I already used Niod and Hylamide, so I tried and loved it; it stopped this hormonal chin nonsense.

I've been using The ordinary Niacinamide everyday (all over the face in the morning as part of my morning routine) for the past 5 months or so and it helped me so much with the greasiness of my skin..also my breakouts are much less frequent and when I have a blemish it helps it to heal sooner..oh and I no longer get cystic breakouts under and on my jawline. Fantastic product and not at all irritable (at least for my skin) ☺️
Kaja Race just ordered. The Paula's choice niacinamide, thanks to nadines recommendation. What order do you use your am products . Thank you In advance Kaja.
I LOVE TO niacinamide. Really helped with all the red marks I had leftover from acne that was cleared up with roaccutane.
I'm the same, around 5 months use, my cystic acne has completely gone, my skin looks so much better and much less greasy, wondering if it will stop my scalp getting so greasy!
Kaja Race glad it's worked for you. The Ordinary one broke me out and a lot of other people I know (I'm in a skincare group on FB) had the same results. Not all formulas are created equal so I'm hopeful the Paula's choice booster will work for me.
Kaja Race don't forget that the 10% are boosters so formulated to mix with a Hyaluronic Acid Serum or hydrating lotion. Otherwise they can be irritating for sensitive skins. X
My son has acne. I gave him my The ordinary Niacinamide and it really helped his skin and its so much better.
Finally! 🤗
I've always wondered about your take on this ingredient. I've been using Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide serum for a while now, and it works wonders. I use it sparingly because it's quite strong. So I use it every other day or so, and mix it into my AHA or BHA serums before I apply anything else.
My skin stays smooth, supple, and glows. It's perfect under makeup. It also helps with pores and pigmentation fairly quickly too. I highly recommend it.
Thanks for adding your stamp of approval Nadine~! 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Definitely saw big improvement with The Ordinary Niacinamide...my pores are almost gone. My daughter used it also and loves it!
Myrna Gibbs Im sold thx 😁
Just started The Ordinary skin care 5 weeks ago. I hope to notice the difference after 3 months of usage.
Thats motivating
what type
Cerave has been my go to lotion for years. It is affordable and has niacinamide as well as ceramides. I also use the ordianary but only at night as it pills on me. Thank you as always for your info!
I, too, use Cerave products and am very happy with them. Day and night cream, eye cream and recently am trying their retinol product... jury is still out on that one.
Desiree Campbell which one? And which order do you use them all ? :)
A O K which one?
I specifically use the Facial Moisturizing Lotion and the Skin Renewing Face Serum. Both have niacinamide as well as ceramides. And I like the Hydrating Cleanser.
Iq Random In the AM, I use the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser following by Alpha Skincare Essential Renewal Lotion w/ 10% glycolic acid, Dr. Carver's Miracle Repair Serum w/ hyaluronic acid and Cerave AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion. In the PM, I follow similar routine except I replace the glycolic acid w/ the Cerave Skin Renewing Cream Serum (retinol) and the Cerave PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion.
I have just started using Niacinamide. I bought mine via Amazon from a company called EVA. I believe it is a 5% serum. I have some enlarged pores on my nose and chin so I'm hoping I'll see some improvement using this product. But even if it doesn't provide a fabulous result for pore shrinkage, I know that it's going to be boosting collagen and helping to reduce inflammation, which I do get some redness on my face and have some broken capillaries around my nose, cheeks, and chin. I'm fair skinned and had darker auburn hair as a young woman. I'm now 62 and am trying to slow down the effects of aging of my skin. I love learning about good skin care. I'm a new subscriber and really like what I heard on your video. Thank you!
I have clear skin for the first time in 2 years. I added Manyo Factory's niacinamide serum, Galactomyces, from amazon for less than $25 for 50 mL. It is amazing.
Just wanted to say that there is a product called Cerave that also contains niacinamide's, peptides and highly Ronek acid and it's a drugstore products so reasonable on the budget. No alcohol in the ingredient list. Thank you for bringing all this information to us -, it's helpful to know when buying products and looking at ingredients what works and what doesn't. Keep up the great work!
Nadine your videos are so educational and necessary!! Please can you do more like this, covering things like Arbutin and various acids xx
I use the CeraVe PM moisturiser which I think contains 4% niacinamide. Will definitely try the Olay products now after this vlog. Thanks for clearing up the whole vitamin C, niacinamide debate too.
THANK YOU for addressing the vitamin C myth! I've been asked about this and thought that was the case. It's nice to hear it for certain from you! I'm on my 2nd bottle of Paula's Choice. I just slap it directly onto my sensitive skin with no problem whatsoever! Loved this video! 💕💕💕
Ooh. This is such great info. I’ve put The Ordinary straight onto my skin without diluting it first. And each time I did this, my skin was visibly irritated. Will try this again by adding into my moisturiser. Keep up the invaluable (skin education) work. Much, much appreciated. ♥️👍😁
There are a LOT more Niacinamide formulas out there, just to name a few. Eve Lom's Advanced Brightening also her new Time Retreat. Asap's B-Complex, Philosophy's No Reason To Hide is a lovely/basic formulation with Salicylic Acid - also their Brighten My Day Serum. Verso's Day Cream, Mizon even have some budget end Night Seruming for those want K-Beauty versions. Oskia's Renaissance Bright Light. The list could go on and on...
I had to watch this bc i love love love niacinamide!! The ordinary and Beautylish were out of stock yesterday and I was so stressed! They restocked today thank goodness! It makes a hugeeee noticeable difference in my skin! Thank you!! Xoxo!!!
I have been using NIA 24 on my skin and it has changed the texture of my skin for the better. My dermatologist suggested it to me 25 years ago.
Marla Robinson Nia 24 is a great cream. I use it 4 or 5 nights a week. Paula's choice gave it a great rating. It is expensive but last a long time.
I stopped the video to write this comment...and your hands are up like two little puppy paws when you are demonstrating the niacinamide...so cute! To the point...thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate your insight into skincare. I catch myself triple thinking ingredients before I purchase, and then I come to see if you have touched on it in a video. Take care:)
Great information. I have dry skin and slightly dehydrated during winter months. I have fine lines and enlarged pores. Can I use this with a BHA? Is it true BHA should not be applied to dry skin conditions? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I use the Ordinary niacinamide every night. I have never used it in the morning due the belief it does not play well with my vit c. Now I need to rethink that. Thank you.
I can only use it at night because it causes pilling under makeup, but try it and see.
Monika McGillicuddy I use it day and night without issue. Just don't use too much, it seeks that's the issue with a lot of people and the Ordinary products in general. If it pills you're probably using too much.
I have just used it at night right before I apply my retin-a. It's time I filmed an updated night time routine as when I derma roll I apply it right after that too.
Me too!
Hi Monika💖,
I, like you, sometimes get confused with all of the products and what I can later when. Lol!! Now, I too have added the ESHO SCULPT on top of everything else!! Lol
My husband teases me that I have given him up for skincare because it takes me Soooooo long each night to prep my face, neck and decollalate before coming to bed😂😂. By the time I am finished, he is sawing wood!!! Lol
Great information, thanks! What do you think of adding The Ordinary's Niacinamide to the nightly does of Refissa? Mix or apply first?
I’m so thankful for your information, you’re the best ! I always thought it’s a night time serum/ cream ... what do you think is better ?
I've been using Amazing Argan two-phase complexion oil by a UK company called H&O Skincare. It's been life changing, honestly stubborn spots and scars that wouldn't go have nearly completely gone. The niacinamide in the oil is activated by massaging the skin with hot/ warm water after the oil is on the skin. I've been using it just over 8 months now and its only just under half way in the bottle. I've noticed such a remarkable improvement in my skin and I think the niacinamide has had a role to play.
Sama A thanks
Am 56 and definitely upon your excellent,excellent recommendation will be trying niacinimide. Thank you. And thank you for your always A-1 videos. 💕
So informative thanks Nadine! I really love Biologique Recherche P50 Pigm 400 which has niacinamide. I have tried Skinceuticals B3 serum but it makes me breakout in whiteheads. I've tried on my chest too and also got those horrible bumps. Do you know what it may be in the product? Some products do this to me and I never know what it is in the ingredient list 🙈. Thank you 😊
Hi Nadine, could you make a video about mixing and layering products. I think a lot of us would like to know what not to mix, no vitamin c and retinol, no retinol with acids, no vitamin c and acids etc. What is true, what is not... I personally get confused from time to time. Thank you!
Bianca Tudor Super idee....aceleași confuzii mai am si eu uneori dar Nadine e super profesionistă.
I was just coming to the comments to ask this same question!! Haha... Also pretty please Nadine?!!!
Yes please. I don’t know if you have already done this, if so, can you point me to the right video? Many thanks Nandine you are amazing.
Would you do a video on botanical/natural based products? I'm always drawn to them, but do they actually work? And if they do, which brands are best? 😊
Every time I am not sure of an ingredient I look it up in your channel! you are so good! Thank you
Have you tried The Ordinary's new Vitamin C Susp. 30% in Silicone 30ml $6.80? Just curious about your thoughts on it. I didn't like the gritty version, but I am tempted to try this one.
Also, The Ordinary's Regimen Guide says that true Vit C & Niacinamide conflict (not the Vit C derivatives).
I love how knowledgable you are about the various different ingredients in beauty products. I would love to know how you use them in a weekly skincare regime. I feel overwhelmed with all the different ingredients; H/acid, vitamin C, niacinamide etc. and so many suit my skin (first signs of ageing, sensitive but acne prone) Have you thought about doing a vlog showing your daily skincare regime or when to use or combine them? Would be really interested to see how you combine them all.
I have been using products with niacinamide fora while now. Most recently I have been using the Ordinary one all over my face morning and night along with the Ordinary hyaluronic acid one. However, please can you advise which I should use first - I thought the niacinamide as it feels lights like you say the video, but then your recent video about layering serums made me think I should be using the hyaluronic acid first as it is clearer than the niacinamide (which is a bit cloudier). Many thanks. Great informative content as always! 👍🏻
So glad to hear I can use it with my Vit c, I've been so torn over which to use when because of that. Thank you!
The new Marks and Spencer ultimate Sleep Cream that everyone is going mad for has niacinimide as the 3rd ingredient, and yet in its description only says it "contains hyaluronic acid and skin brightening actives". I'm surprised because with the advent of the m&s beauty hall, with all the amazing brands they now stock, I would have thought they'd have a bit more faith in their consumer to know what niacinimde is.
The Olay regenerist luminous range (not the 3 point range mentioned in this video) is based on niacinimide (as most of the olay ranges are) but also includes some form of glucosamine which apparently they say must be present for niacinimide to work on melanin production. Ruth Crilly did a trial of it a few years ago if anyone wants to refer back.
Thanks for this Nadine, I follow you all the way from Cape Town I just love your videos. What would you use first the Niacinamide and then the Vit C serum? or the other way around
Love your videos on specific ingredients nadine! Another product which maybe isn't as potent but I have noticed has niacinamide in is the simple kind to skin soothing facial toner - top ingedients are Aqua, Sorbitol, Panthenol, Niacinamide ,Sodium Pca, Allantoin - so all good ones! And usually its on offer for £1.50!
Hi Nadine...
Love your review on this topic... I have one question though... Can I use glycolic acid glow tonic before applying niacinamide serum for twice a day everyday? Will it help reduce my breakouts too?
Thanks so much. You are the best.
Thank you for clarifying the Niacinamide/ Vit C dilemma !!! This has been very confusing . I am currenttly using Oskia Renaissance BrightLight serum which is with Niacinamide and so far I am very happy . I didn't like TO Niacinamide plus Zinc , the formula was off putting for me , it makes everything that apply after to roll .xx
I've used the 10% niacinamide from The Ordinary with good results. Some say Paula's Choice is better but it should be at 5 times the price. I really like Alpha H and have a vitamin A to start when I run out of my current retinoid. I wish however they would show their percentages - any idea what it might be? The copper peptide is a great added extra.
Hi Nadine, first I like to say that I love watching your videos! You are so brilliant and knowledgeable and I just love listening to you talk (I'm American and jealous of your beautiful accent) 😊 the first time I learned about niacinamide was from Korean skin care as they use this a lot in their skin care and have for years. I am 47, almost 48 and I am having issues with large pores and I started using the ordinary 10% 7-8 months ago and I do see a difference in the appears of my overall skin and texture and my makeup goes on much better and I'm just very happy with using niacinamide! Again thank you for all your great videos and sharing all your wisdom with all of us! 😀
Does it make any difference if you mix your serums in your palm and add them at the same time or should you layer them on your skin one at a time ?
Would you suggest investing in a retinol or a niacinamide serum to treat large pores?
Hi Baggott, I found your video useful but can you talk about for what age to use for each product, please? thank you!!
Absolutely love the ordinary niacinamide, I am so glad I can use it with vitamin c!! I have been using that and the ordinary vitamin c in rotation, so will be great to use together! Thanks for your advice!
Should I use my Niacinamide before vitamin C? I usually put my vitamin C on before all other serums but thought I heard you say to put in on before. Thank you. Love your channel.
Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46 has 5% niacinamide. And there's the new Freederm serum, which is basically glycerine, niacinamide, and shea butter. The Freederm spot gels are 4% niacinamide, so I don't know if the serum is above 5%, but it's very pleasant to use. I use it at night under my tretinoin. I use the Elta SPF in the morning over my vitamin C.
Thank you for this informative video. Are you familiar and/or have experience using Verso Skincare? I would love to hear your take on their products in terms of effectiveness. They are quite pricy but claim to have stable and non irritating form of retinol that can be used daily both morning and night. Plus they have B3 in almost all they product line. Thank you in advance!
karin A they have a very similar Retinoid to the new generation The Ordinary ones x I think if you have lots of cash then great but they are super pricey
The Ordinary Niacinamide worked great for controlling sebum and minimised my pores. It was fantastic to begin with but then eventually I started getting cystic acne :( I wonder if I got an older version but I don't have the box anymore to check ingredients. Do you think I should try to get the new formulation?
Just ordered my Paula's Choice niacinamide. So to clarify , am use only? And cleanse, tone, Niacinamide , Clinique moisture boost, moisturizer, sunscreen? And Vitamin c at night with retinol? ( the vitamin c has be confused- am or pm? ) thank you Nadine.
Hi yah i was wondering is the Olay one with spf30 oily on the skin? I'm looking for a day moisturiser that would suit my combination skin.
Hi. I’m currently using Vit C Serum, So I now can safely layer another serum (B3) on top without having to wait? And REGARDLESS of B3 brand I can use with Vit C of any brand right? Thanks.
Great video thanks. Quick question for my pm routin. I use the ordinary products as follow. Hyaluronic acid on damp skin once that dries I use the buffet then I mix about 2 to 3 drops of the niaciamide into my cerave face moisturizer with 2 drops of the squalane oil. Is this ok ? Or should I disregard the squalane? Want to make sure I am not messing nothing up by mixing the niaciamide into my cerave face moisturizer. Thanks
The Ordinary is educating us all about what’s in the expensive products most of us don’t want to pay ridiculous prices for
Nadine:),
I am using the following "The Ordinary" products:
"Buffet", "Matrixyl", HA and then I go in with my Retinol by Cera Ve. In was using the Niacynamide by The Ordinary as well but stopped using it for some reason... is this too much?? Lol. I am 50 and have enlarged pores in my T zone, I am VERY dry and not sure how many products I can layer:).
I live In the Southeast USA where it can get quite humid:(. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated !!;)
You have such a beautiful, flirtatious, postive and playful personality!
Hi Nadine,
as I'm hearing about the importance of SPF so much, do you know any product that you can mix into other creams if they do not contain sun protection? Like some product which only contains SPF but no other active ingredients (and no fragrences and alcohol of course).
Thank you. x
Do you feel there has been any current research or more products that you could do an update on niacinamide products? Thank you
Hi🙋🏻 I think Nuxe Splendieuse contains it too... Right? Anti-dark spot fluid SPF 20. But is the SPF 20 enough?
I use all ordinary products and this niacinimide will mix with any other products I love it, should I be using this before all other serums nadine ie after an acid toner? Ps love your videos they have literally changed my life by giving me the information needed to completely revamp my skincare routine, I can not thank you enough. I used dermalogica for over 20 years and while it worked fine I never saw a noticeable improvement in my skin, I have acne scarring and large pores. I’m also 37 so fine lines have just started to appear! After watching for quite some time I and finding out which products/ingredients I needed I bought the near enough the entire ordinary range and have never looked back. Thankyou thankyou thankyou 💕🙌🏽 x
Would love to hear your thoughts on the entire "NIA24" skincare line. They advertise the use of a pro-niacin molecule. Do you think it's worth the price hike or the ordinary is a good alternative? I've used one bottle of the ordinary already and my skin loved it but it was hard to wear during the day because of piling.
Hi Nadine. . I really love your videos..
Is it possible to mix vitamin c and niacinemide together in a diy serum? and can you please tell me what the must have ingredients are in a skincare regimen? I often buy active ingredients to mix in with my creams.. love it..
thank you so much for educating us..
also.. can I mix niacinemide powder with my HA serum?
Sara.Austin , in another comment above, she told the commenter that it was good to mix the niacinimide with Hyaluronic acid, half and half, since the person was having sensitivity problems with the strong Niacinimde 10%. The Ordinary has Hyaluronic Acid very sensibly priced too. I can't say if it's okay to mix it with other products like moisturizer, etc., but, personally, I think it would be okay. That's just my thoughts on it.
Also, I dont know about mixing it in powder form at all. You may really want to get an expert opinion on that. The Ordinary sells Niacinimide 10% in a liquid (a little bit thick liquid) form at a very good price, compared to most skincare lines. I've been using several products from The Ordinary for almost a year now, and I'm very pleased with them. The products are made by a very good, dependable skincare company. They cut corners in every way they can, except in the quality of the product itself. No fancy packaging, no fancy dispensers, etc. They say they want to produce good skincare that people can afford, not just rich people, but ordinary people, because they deserve to be able to care for their skin, too. Look up Wayne Goss, and Goss makeup chat on RUclips. There are like 5 to 10 videos. You need to try to watch them from the earliest to the newest, otherwise it will be a bit confusing. He explains a lot about The Ordinary. He doesn't work for them or anything, he just loves the products.
Sara. Austin, I'm sorry to write so much but just another thing: if you live in the U. S., as I do, I can tell you where I now order my The Ordinary products without paying tax or shipping (with a minimum order, I think). The clothing store ASOS online is carrying a fairly good selection, and last order I did, I ordered from them. I ordered a good amt. It was no taxes and free shipping. One more thing I'll mention is their Retinol 2%. It is the best I've found and I've been using it for years. Most Retin products will irritate your skin and make you peel when you first begin to use them, so the advice to start out slow. Skip days. Like use it 2 days a week for 3 weeks, then use it 3 days a week, and so on, like that. The Ordinary Retinol 2% is a fairly high strength for it to not be doctor's prescription required. But, this Retinol 2% was specially created and formulated to be the least likely to be irritating to your skin. I think they also claim little to no peeling, I can't remember exactly what it said. Anyway, I have NEVER been able to use any type of Retinoid product without going through an awful irritation, burning, and bad peeling for at least three or four weeks in the beginning, until I started using Retinol 2% from The Ordinary. And, it really works so well. I do still have minor peeling, but it's not too bad. Because, ultimately, to me, the peeling means and proves it is working. I used their Retinol 1% for a couple of months, and, yes, I was red and peeled for about 3 weeks or so. And , it was half the strength. I just love their Retinol 2%! Bye, now, and good luck!
Thank you so much ! So appreciative of your wealth of knowledge and your clear, concise delivery !
Hi Nadine - I have just bought The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% with Zinc and I plan to use this in conjunction with my morning Clinique ID orange Glycolic/Salicylic/Taurine pump moisturiser before my Clinique City block SPF 40; you mention this is safe to be mixed with other moisturisers but I am just slightly concerned that with the ordinary's 10% of Niacinamide, could it be edging towards a bad reaction?... If anyone else reading this knows, any tips would be great! (they do scare you not to mix it with vitamin C on the ordinary's website hence my confused consumer alert!) Thank you !
I_am... unless you’re prone to flushing then high levels of Niacinamide are fine xxx
@@NadineBaggott Thank you for your reply! I have used it all today and my skin tolerates it with barely any stinging (must be all the years I have had chemical peels/tretinoin courses have toughened my skin) xxx
So glad I found you!! Have spent all evening watching your vlds, explains so much.
Hi Nadine:) Can I combine Vitamin C and AHA (glycolic acid) in my skincare routine?
Thank you so much! I am in my late twenties and I already have big pores I really need to take care of my skin, I am going to start using Retin A can I use Niacinamide with Retin A? Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you so much Nadine for such an informative video, really appreciate it, Bee from Malaysia 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍
I love this! I've been using The Ordinary 10% N since Xmas and am looking for an all in one formula. Paula's choice RESIST ultra light super antioxidant (!) serum also contains niacinamide but I don't know how much. I have a sample and it seems nice. I need to know about "pentapeptide" as I'm quite a new follower! X
You reminded me I need to reorder the PC super light serum. It's heavenly! Didn't realize it contained niacinamide. You'll love Nadine! I'm always happy ẃhen she posts a new video.
hello thank you for the video what do you think about dr part niacin amide products?
Hi, i just subscribed your channel .My questions is :can i use same time evening tretinoin with niacinamide??and with obagi exfoderm forte? thank you :)
Definitely helps reduce my breakouts! Not sure on my pore size and on my oiliness, but I do believe its made my skin look better
thank you for these very extensive and clear explanations - I hardly can bear vitamin C and not at all retinol, so niacinamide is a good choice - as well as bee apirary products, which contain tons of vitamin B in their natural form !
I use the PC 10%. I wasn't sure what it was doing at first, but now I love it as the next morning I can see the difference. Only use the booster as an extra top up 2 times a week as niacinimide is in my daily PC serum too.💋
Hi Nadine. Due to aging my pores on my cheeks nose and Chin have become extremely enlarged. I have never dealt with this problem before. So I have decided to order the niacinamide from the ordinary, in hopes that it will decrease the size of my pores. My question is... When I went to the ordinary website it states that I should use my vitamin C which I use every morning on Alternate days that I use the niacinamide. But I did hear you say that Paula from Paula's Choice used her vitamin C and niacinamide together on the same day. Can I do this with my drunk elephant vitamin C and the niacinamide from the ordinary. Or do I use them on separate days? I so hope this helps my pores shrink. Thank you.
Are you familiar with NIA 24 skin strengthening complex? It's phenomenal! Been using it for over 10 years.
I have been using Niacinamide from the Odrinary for about 6months. They recommended combining with Alpha Arbutin. It has helped with my pigmentation and redness. I will continue to use. The Ordinary website cautioned about using at the same time as Vitamin C.? I am considering trying their 30% when I finish my current C serum. Nice to know I can combine if I choose. Appreciate your research and videos:)
holly d hi i want to try those 2 products for my pigmentation. Can you please tell me the order you use them and what other creams you use am and pm
I am currently using Timeless Vitamin C and CoQ10 serums in the morning. After serums a moisturizer then Australian Gold Mineral sunscreen. In the evening after a double cleanse to remove makeup, I use the Alpha Arbutin, Niacinimide, hylauronic acid, then Retin A. I then finish with an oil and seal in with thick moisturizer cream. The Ordinary has a guide which is very helpful. I also like Renee from Gothamista You Yube channel. She has several very informative videos about The Ordinary. Also since watchng her I just purchased some Korean skincare from Pyunkang Yul. It is also reasonably priced. After finishing my Vit C from Timeless, I plan on purchasing the 30% fro the Ordinary. I may then use Vitamin C in evening since it can be combined with Niacinamide . As a rule I try to use the thinnest products first such as serums, then cream. I top with oil to aid penetration, then seal all in for the night. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
holly d. Thank you so much for all tjose details xx
HIGHLY informative video, Nadine, thank you. I've just started using the Ordinary Niacinamide Zinc serum and it's been stinging when I put on - clearly I've been using A: too much, and B: should be mixing a drop into my Hada Labo Perfect Gel Cream before I seal in with Cerave Lotion! Will do that tonight 👍🏻🙏🏻
Nadine! I would love to hear what you think about Marie Veronique's B3 serum!!
Hi Nadine :)
I have tried using a couple of products containing Niacinamide, but my skin seems to break out from them :( especially The Ordinary's) my question is: can niacinamide cause breakouts or is it just a reaction/purging?
What about the NIa 24 products? Do they contain enough percentages to really be effective?
Hi nadine ! I am very confused ....can you make a video axplaining how to use retinol,vitamin c,hacid all together?ive placed an order but i am confused..retinol and vitamin c only at nihgt?love from Greece
don't combine retinol and vitamin c. don't use any acids or retinol in summer, at all. when the temperature drops, you can start using it. and only at night, because we have extremely sunny weather. you can use HA all the time, morning and evening, whenever you want.
75vasso thank you
Very informative video Nadine 😊 La Roche posay Effaclar duo+ and Kiehl's breakout control targeted blemish treatment also contain niacinamide, they don't give the percentage though.
I just finished a Alpha copperpeptide bottle, it lasts a *huge* amount of time, but I don't think it worked for my pigmentations (maybe prevented others from coming this summer, but I was also religiously with Spf), but for random spots yes. I tried the Ordinary niacinamide but the pigmentations were not influenced. is there another product that targets enlarged pores? I'm using retinol now twice a week, but a booster during the day might help
I'm 29 can you do a video about skincare on your early 30's on a budget??? I love all your videos but need guidance between so many options !!!!
Hello thank you for the information, I'm using Avene compact sunscreen, can I use ordinary niacinamide under the sunscreen as I have pigmentation on my cheeks?
Hi Nadine. Wonderful informative video.
Oskia Renaissance Brightlight Serum is one - it isn't totally obvious but it does list Niacinamide on its packaging. It's primary function is to reduce pigmentation which I don't think it was actually that great at doing, however it did help to reduce inflammation from my breakout-prone skin and I also noticed a difference in pore size so it was definitely worth trying. Quite a pricey one though!
Hi Nadine, i hope you read it and maybe help? I use retinol 1 on my face but recently I accidentally put a bit under my eyes and the skin is now wrinkly. I'm worried I damaged the skin. Do you think it will go back to normal ? I'm new to the Ordinary products. Im sorry if my question sounds silly.
agnie lysik don't panic it's probably just dried out the surface layers and as soon as these exfoliate off your skin will be fine x stick on lots of Hyaluronic Acid in the meantime
Nadine Baggott Thank you so much for your time to reply ❤️I feel less stressed out now 😊
Thank you - for me, it is a newly discovered ingredient that I'm really loving. I've found it has really helped the skin along my jawline and overall helped the texture of my skin. The Alpha H one looks really interesting might need to try that and thank you for debunking the myth about Niacinamide and Vitamin C. I use the Ordinary one, the Glossier Super Pure serum and a few of my moisturisers also have it listed as an ingredient.
I've been using the garden of wisdom, what I love about it compared to many shown on this video is the pump feature. Eye drop type bottles are a serious turn off. 1. HUGE risk of me spilling it. 2. It exposes the solution to air and light.
