  • @lorainemcgillivray77
    @lorainemcgillivray77 4 года назад +2

    It's interesting about the reduced oil production, though I know niacinamide is supposed to be very balancing. I haven't tried the PC versions of niacinamide as I have very dry/sensitive skin and find the Inkey list one works fairly well for me. When in a product with zinc niacinamide serums are more suited to oily skin as (at least for me), the zinc can be drying/irritating. I am tempted to try the 20% as it has soothing/hydrating ingredients incorporated. Despite being dry skinned, aging causes stretched pores on my nose and both side of my cheeks near my nose. I also have slightly stubborn redness (the curse of fair fragile skin) which niacinamide can be beneficial for. A combination of niacinamide and tretinoin have improved the texture of my skin, my pores have tightened up to an extent and although still visible they are improved. Perhaps trying the 20% will give enhanced results in that area. I haven't experienced the flushing people talk about with niacinamide and haven't noticed any other adverse effects from it on my skin. It seems to be an ingredient my skin likes tbh. Many thanks for the review. Despite us having different requirements niacinamide can be beneficial for all skin types and I will try to acquire a sample or trial size (if possible), prior to buying a full size. This is to check it's not too potent for my sensitive skin. Be well and best wishes.

    • @MrKongsMom
      @MrKongsMom  4 года назад +1

      I have never had the flushing either but I think my skin might be leather as not much affects it lol. The texture of this one would allow it to easily be applied to specific areas. It's a much thicker serum style versus the liquid of the 10%.

And I think the 20% Niacinamide would help a lot (make sure you think your skin could handle the 20% first - if not, start with their 10% then scale up after that goes smoothly). Those are the two things that cleared my blackheads and reduced my pores the most. Amazing products!

      If you are dry this is probably not the best fit for you. I have heard dry skin people say that this dries them out too much. I think you should start out with 10% to be totally honest. And if that is too strong you can find even lower % from places like Cos de Baha for example. Good luck!

      Are you using a BHA to treat your blackheads? I would suggest starting there and then going in with Niacinamide to help keep the pores tightened. One thing I had to do before anything else was clear up my existing blackheads. It takes a little time but you can also go in to see an aesthetician to help with removal and then keep them clean with a good solid BHA. Don't try to "dig" them out yourself. You can cause scarring and damage the skin.

    • @MrKongsMom
      @MrKongsMom  4 года назад +1

      I would start with the 10%. I want to caution you with the BHA 9 that it's pretty strong and may irritate your sensitive skin. I would stick with the 2% liquid and see how you do with that. Then maybe move up. I always use my niacinamide in the morning and BHA at night. So I don't really use them together except rarely when I use Niacinamide at night. I never have any reaction between the two but I DO NOT have sensitive skin. I would space your treatments.
