I love this one! I had really bad reaction on The Ordinary Niacinamide which have similar ingrediences, so I was a bit afraid to try. But B-Bomb formulation is perfect, no bad reactions from this one. I do not understand, I thought that I am sensitive to Niacinamid, but it was TO formulation, since I can use B-Bomb.
I was also a little irritated by the Ordinary Niacinamide as well- I was also nervous to try G&G's but have had no issues at all. I suspect it was the Tamarind Seed Gum in the ordinary but not certain.
I seriously love love love this formula. I’m not sure I’ll purchase more because I do have niacinamide in other products. But I’ve gone through about 4 of these serums and I’ve seen some amazing improvements in texture/acne. I should also say I’ve been using the paulas choice azelaic acid for the same amount of time so it’s probably the combo of these
I am on a skincare no buy until I use up a few more products, but as soon as I finish them I am definitely ordering a bunch of Geek & Gorgeous. Will you be reviewing their whole line? I have seen your previous reviews and am interested on your thoughts of their other products.
She has done a whole line just type in the g&g product and no bs beauty and it should bring up her review on that product she’s amazing and so knowledgeable I love her channel
Thanks for the review Sarah ☘️💕🌹!! I’ve been happy with all the basic budget niacin serums like TO10% and about to try GM toner to see if I can streamline now. GG has been on my horizon forever!
I love that Toner, it is amazing! You'll have to let me know you like it. So nice to get some Niacinamide that way without having to use an extra product. Good Molecules keeps impressing me!
Really happy you reviewed the B Bomb. I use the liquid hydrator ❤️, the Vitamin C ❤️ and Jelly Joker cleanser ❤️. When you reviewed the azelaic acid serum , I immediately regretted not buying that but the niacinamide instead. I'll give it a go and see how I can fit it into my routine 😉👍🏼
Geek and Gorgeous are a great company. I hated The Ordinary niacinamide serum. I loved the Paula's Choice niacinamide Booster, but it is quite costly for only 20mls. I use both PC niacinamide and this one so I am still saving!
I'm really loving each product I've tried from Geek and Gorgeous- and they are so affordable as well. Nice to have brands out there making products for people with sensitive and reactive skin!
I finally caved after seeing your approval for this brand. I ended up picking up nearly everything to try and review for myself. Used the affiliate link! 🙏🏾😉
yay! Glad your doing more reviews of this brand! I never knew i would be ordering a brand all the way from Hungary lol. but the formulations look good from the A-Game, B-Bomb and their Vitamin C too. I just wonder how good their acids are .
Hi Sarah! Thank you for another amazing review! I have several products that have niacinamide already in it, I’m starting to wonder if it might be too much for my skin 🤷♀️ my skin is always so irritated! Have a great day ❤️❤️
Anytime I buy a product I do a search to see if you have an affiliate link!! 💜 just ordered geek and gorgeous serums a week ago and I can’t wait to get them in the mail!a
Oh thank you so much, it really helps so I appreciate it! You are going to have to let me know how they work for you and which ones you enjoy the most!
Hi Sarah I haven't tried this one although I love the Apad and Agame, really due to the niacinamide and zinc I tried from the ordinary - which was extremely drying on my very dry. rosacea and eczema prone skin. If it is hydrating then I will try it next time I place an order. i normally use either the inkey list niacinamide or the cosrx dual snail and niacinamide essence/serum - both are very hydrating. I do like their panthenol and nmf toner as an aside re the brand though. I haven't tried the cleanser as I prefer a rich creamy cleanser for my skin type, but it gets really good reviews. Similarly my skin hates the low ph necessary for an l ascorbic acid serum, so that isn't one I've tried either. Best wishes.
Oh thank you so much! You're trust means so much to me- it is the most important thing and the only reason I do my videos. I would say if your skin tends to be on the dry side, but not acne prone, I'd probably recommend the good molecules because it contains some nice added hydrating ingredients such as vitamin e, betaine, and lecithin. But if your skin is acne prone and dry I'd recommend the Geek and Gorgeous because it doesn't contain any ingredients that have the potential to cause breakouts. They are both great products, but Good Molecules is really wonderful for skin that isn't acne prone.
I also liked this serum much more than The Ordinary's but I think I had a somewhat better experience with The Inkey List (besides the horrible packaging). But overall, I have found niacinamide serums too costly for what they are. So, I have been looking to try One Thing 10% Niacinamide since it is 150 ml and about €10. It is literally just solvent, preservatives, and niacinamide.
For some reason I found the Ordinary Niacinamide to be drying for me skin, but didn't have that issue with geek and Gorgeous, the Inkey List, or good Molecules. Sounds like you found a winner, sometimes fewer ingredients can be a good thing!
@@NOBSBeauty the ordinary was bad for me. It stung my skin and again Geek and Gorgeous and The Inkey List niacinamide did not. So, even though the orindary is cheaper I wouldn't purchase it
Totally off topic, but here’s another report on Sephora reviews. This one was for Augutinus Bader moisturizer. Sephora and more fake reviews. It’s not even in stock yet, but miraculously 71 people with day old accounts took the time to give glowing reviews on this product. Sure.
Sephora is out of control with the fake reviews. They filter out every negative review and I'm hoping people stop using that as a reason to buy or not buy a buy product.
They all three have wonderful niacinamide serums so you can't go wrong with any of them! If you have acne prone skin I'd go with geek and gorgeous. The inkey list is great for dry skin that isn't acne prone since it contains some extra hydrating ingredients. The Good Molecules is nice for daytime use since it contains come extra antioxidants.
Actually both are really wonderful, in my opinion. The Facetheory Porebright has a few more ingredients such as Azlaic acid and Salicylic Acid so if you have sensitive skin I'd probably go with the Geek and Gorgeous.
Thx for this video, I am about to make my first order from g&g. One question: I use niacinamide daily in the morning (Inkey list at the moment) after my vitamin c serum. I understand that opinions vary on using niacinamide after vitamin c. What do you think? If I have to use the Niacinamide in the evening, I will be in trouble with all the other stuff I use pm.
I do my morning rountine exact same way , the studies were done long ago in different conditions of unstable vitamin c and high temps etc Dr dray , Dr v rattan and others have videos about how they work well together ! I've never had issue!
@@nikkikimberly161 I don’t have issues either, but I am worried that using Niacinamide after the vitamin c might “undo” the positive effects of the vitamin c.....the ph level etc. Confusing
“Let me fix that!” 😂
Your giggle is the best!! I love a good laugh!!
Yessss another G&G review! I wonder if their official insta knows about you, they usually thank people for reviews...

Your hands look like they belong to a 16 year old, you don’t need more of anything, your perfect 👌
My skin loves the ordinary one as well . 👌

I think I will try. So far, I do not have luck with this active :-)
I realy love this brand 👍
HI! IS THIS BETTER THAN GOOD MOLECULES NIACINAMIODE? FOR DRY SKIN THANKS! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, IS THE ONLY ONE I TRUST

@@NOBSBeauty thank you 🤗 regards from México ❤️
Thank you for this information
You are so welcome!
Love this product!!! Have you tried the tiam ampoule 10% niacinamide and 2% A-arbutin??
Hi! It’s a great product! Light, watery texture, no fragrance! And also 2% arbutin is an amazing addition to niacinamide

Can you use before applying retinal?
Is it a good idea to apply it around the eyes???

Paulas choice just released a new product .. something about discoloration with bakuchiol and trex acid
And a drunk elephant coffee body scrub on their instagram 🤔
why is Paula's choice so expensive
I'm torn between Inkey List, Good Molecules, and Geek & Gorgeous niacinamide.
They all three have wonderful niacinamide serums so you can't go wrong with any of them! If you have acne prone skin I'd go with geek and gorgeous. The inkey list is great for dry skin that isn't acne prone since it contains some extra hydrating ingredients. The Good Molecules is nice for daytime use since it contains come extra antioxidants.
@@NOBSBeauty that's a SUPER helpful response. Thanks so much.
@@NOBSBeauty very helpful thank you! 💕
How does this product compare to Face Theory's 10% Niacinimide, please?
Actually both are really wonderful, in my opinion. The Facetheory Porebright has a few more ingredients such as Azlaic acid and Salicylic Acid so if you have sensitive skin I'd probably go with the Geek and Gorgeous.
@@NOBSBeauty thank you so much Sarah! G&G it is for me, then .
Cute name too :-P thankyou
