For people with sensitive skin, you should try only ONE drop. I started with 3 and got horrible reactions. One is more than enough, this is a strong serum
I have sensitive skin and just used like 5 drops!!! Pls help. What did you do to treat the reaction??
First of all patch test it always this is a daily reminder to patch test new products especially you sensitive skin gals!!!
Hi I’m 13 and I’m looking for a serum my skin is usually dry does anyone have any recommendations?
❤️
@@Awakened_to_Him if your skin isn’t sensitive you could use the glow recipe dew drops. I’ve never used them but heard they are moisturizing
@@Awakened_to_Himyes the drunk elephant b-hydra serum worked very well for my dry skin, but it is really expensive so i dont have enough to repurchase it 😢 but if you can afford it it works really well!
You have every single skincare product I can think of lol, you’re a life saver
🫣
Y’all should use the niacinamide powder 100% from the ordinary.
It’s cheaper and last forever.
Mix it with any water base product ( body cream it’s completely fine) apply every day in the night.
Thank me later .
can you pls. write me some niacinamide powder so I can get an idea of what it is
Tnx
@@Sreca1209 niacinamide will help you improve your skin if you have hyperpigmentation, textured skin and acne
It will always be good as a anti aging.
If you have a sensitive skin I Recommend you to start just with the powder of niacinamide combined with any cream you use for your face or body. ( I apply my niacinamide on my neck to )
If your skin is not sensitive you can mix the powder with other water base acids that combine with work even better like
Salicylic acid or azelaic acid
heyy,
i am a total beginner in skincare and also a teen, i have bought 10% niacinamide serum but i see people suggesting to use 5% niacinamide for a beginner, would using 10% one would be too risky for my skin?
@@xoxo_n_xoxoIf you have sensitive skin I recommend the 5% niacinamide and always patch test the product
Can I mix the niacinamide powder with a moisturizer and how much powder should I use?
Thank you sooo soo much i was having trouble using it since i just got it and also watched your video on how to use the cera ve cleanser thank you so much ❤
Glad I could help!🥰
I've been using the entire dropper full all this time
😳
Lol same. My skin looks great tho.
@@dawngonzales6721 for how long have you been doing this?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I've personally been doing this for over a year, and there have been no side effects. My skin looks amazing
Hi Melissa thank you for the amazing videos you produce to help others! Super curious can I start using everyday or should I start a certain amount of times per week
Technically, yes. However, if your skin reacts to it, you should reduce the frequency.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much
Mam can I use the ordinary niacinamide forever,? If I stop using it, will there be any problems?
It's something you'll have to test for yourself; nobody knows.
Nice but what does it do? My sis has one but if it does things i need to improve i will use it😀
Do you have any skin concerns?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I just want to make sure it doesn't give me acne (clogged pores) beacuse i have a blackheads/Whiteheads in my nose (i dont have much) and i have some bumps in my forehead. 😀 Just want to make sure. But with what does it help?
@@Skz-Stay-8.8 Ok, in that case you do not need it! :) However, I also recommend investigating the root causes of your bumps/whiteheads, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance).
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so muchhh! Your amazing, new sub! 💗 Btw i think it may be from stress. But i am ok thanksss! 💕💕
Thank you, this was very informative. Is it okay to take this in the morning, and benzoyl peroxide spot treatment at night? I just don't want to irritate my skin.
Yes :)
I am so confused
How to use it
On damp face or dry face ?
You are confusing damp and wet skin because some idiot influencers mixed them up, and now many people cannot differentiate. It's a mess.
Clean, dried skin is actually damp skin. So, what I demonstrated in this video is damp skin.
Also, if you are still confused, you can watch this short video for clarity:

can i apply moisturizer after niacinamide cerum
yes
Hi melissa i currently do this routine
AM:
1. Melano CC Deep Clear Face Wash (pea-sized)
2. Hadalabo Hyaluronic Toner (at least 2 drops)
3. TO Caffeine Soln
4. Melano CC Vitamin C Serum
5. Canmake UV Gel Sunscreen
PM:
1. Melano CC Deep Clear Face Wash
2. Hadalabo Hyaluronic Toner
2. TO Caffeine Soln
3. TO Niacinamide (3 drops)
4. TO Azelaic Acid (pea sized?
5. Oxecure Acne Spot treatment
I recently added TO salicylic acid to my regimen but idk when to put it.
You could create a second evening routine:
Start with Melano CC Deep Clear Face Wash.
Apply The Ordinary Salicylic Acid Serum and wait a couple of minutes.
Follow up with Hadalabo Hyaluronic Toner.
However, I would advise against using it in conjunction with azelaic acid, as this combination may be too harsh over time.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet so i should stop using azelaic acid when i use salicylic?
@@sanchezmikkaela No, you could still follow the routine you've set up, but essentially create two evening routines and alternate between them. :)
Hey i used niacinamide and salicylic acid together its okey ?
Yes, ruclips.net/video/LC74C2hG18g/видео.htmlsi=dogvbttIz96ZSJe8
This is my nighttime skincare routine: Double cleanse and wait 30 mins, apply retinol to a dry face and wait 30 minutes, moisturize.
okay, but why do you do that 🤷♀️
it takes you 1 hour to do your skincare routine?!?
I heard that we're supposed to do the skincare in the 5minutes after cleaning the face
Hey! I watched this vid before I bought niacinamide. Its my first time using it. I feel like 10% concentration is a lil harsh for me to start off with. Can I dilute it with cold pressed rose hip seed oil? Rosehip seed oil works like magic on my skin
Yes, you can dilute it. However, it works better when diluted with its natural moisturizing factors, as it is a light cream-based formulation.
Hi,,i really love to watch your Videos.. And can i ask you a question? Actually i have a dry skin and i want use this serum.. But i Don't know how to use it.. Can i use The cosrx snail 96 essence and after that can i apply this serum?or should i skip the essence and use the serum first? I am 17..And i am an asian..
See here: ruclips.net/video/HQIZ2j11854/видео.htmlsi=8NFHUI9zso8BV6Rz
You can also follow with a moisturizer afterwards - if needed.
I never put products into my palms and rub my hands together. That just seems wasteful to me, unless I’m trying to treat my palms.
If that is the case, then you may need to take better care of your hands. You really have enough time to blend these serums, unless, of course, you wait a few minutes before application after putting them into your palms.
Thanks for the video, should I put it under/near the eyes ?
you can, but don't use it on the eyelids.
Is Niacinamide and rice based serum a good combination?
Yes
Should i use it day and night? What if i want to use retinol at night? Should i combine both niacinamide and retinol? Or can i use niacinamide during the day n retinol at night? And also can i use retinol every night?

Can a 16 yr old use this??
What are your skin concerns?
How to know that product is original
Well, you can't, if you haven't bought it from their original website or an authentic retailer.
So i should do snail mucin, niacinamide, exfoliating toner, and sunscreen I skip moisturizer in the am
Hmmm? See here: ruclips.net/video/nTg8hrEQIvM/видео.htmlsi=f8zT0FGmqzlDRNVT
GUYS does it work ??
For what?
It's suitable for dry normal skin?
What are your skin concerns? However, yes, it can be used on all skin types. If you experience dryness, you can follow with a moisturizer afterward.
Ma'am im usinh 10% niacinamide serum in morning with sunscreen should i reapply sunscreen at home.??
How much sun exposure do you have? If you mostly stay indoors, you may not need to use sunscreen.
Whats the discoloration around your mouth
I'm not sure. I've had it since I was a teenager. However, it isn't as noticeable when I have a bit of a tan. That's why it's much more visible now, because I'm quite pale. I just know that when I use products like exfoliating acids too often (because of the demonstrations I do), or when the weather changes dramatically, or maybe even depending on what I eat, it becomes more noticeable.

How to dilute niacinamide
You can mix 1-2 drops of Niacinamide with your hydrating serum, essence or moisturizer in the palm of your hands and then apply it to the skin :)
Should we apply moisturizer over niacinamide serum
You can, yes; however, if the serum feels good on its own, you can skip the moisturizer.
A big thanks from india
If TO NIA 10%+ zinc serum is not foamy is it considered fake?
No, it depends on how you apply it and how much you use. :) I've also had some TO Niacinamide serums, some of which were cloudy and others transparent, and I ordered them directly from their website
Hey! I use the COSRX salicylic acid cleanser, then the ordinary serum & lastly the mousterizer of ponds vitamin E super light mousterizer.... Is it ok to use that way?

Yes, that's fine. How often you can use them depends on your skin tolerance; however, you can use them daily.
I have acne problem can skeep moisturizer?
Yes, for niacinamide. However, you could also opt for a gel formulated for oily, acne-prone skin. These are usually very lightweight and help hydrate the skin effectively:

Can i use glycolic acid and niacinamide acide then salicylic acid and if i can use it all together in which order should i use them (all products from the ordinary) or glycolic acid with the peeling solution?
No, AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acids, and under this category, you can find Glycolic, Lactic, and Mandelic Acid, among others that aren't as popular.
BHA refers to Salicylic Acid. Therefore, you should not use AHA and BHA with these products, as they are essentially the same.
You should also avoid using multiple exfoliating acids in the same routine. The reason is that you expose the skin to too much of the acids, which can lead to irritation over time. The best approach would be to use just one of them, or alternate days (ideally in the evening).
However, if you use the peeling solution once or twice a week, then there's generally no need for the other acid products you have!
.Hey, can sunscreen and moisturizer cream be used after using the niacinamide PC and zinc face serum?
Please suggest
So after how many minutes to use?
es, but moisturizer cream should be applied before sunscreen. Generally, there is no need to wait long in between; 30-60 seconds should be enough.
I would like to know
Can i use Niacinamide 10% with retinol (Cerave resurfacing serum) ?
Or will I be irritation?
How should I start?
Thanks for replying me
you made my day
I know how to apply retinol better🎉
CeraVe Retinol already contains Niacinamide. So, you could use your 10% Niacinamide in the AM and CeraVe Retinol in the PM (on the same day), but I wouldn’t use them in the same routine :)
Can we use glycolic acid toner and niacinamide toner together?
yes
You said three drops of oil ?
about 3-5 for face and neck

@@meriawaz4278 Oh okay, see here: ruclips.net/video/BoLMjpkcDSw/видео.htmlsi=iMETNZfRjDaSiLoA
Does this remouve black heads and open pores
Remove "not". However, if your pores are enlarged due to excessive oil production, the serum can certainly help reduce their appearance. Yes, for blackheads, it's best to extract them, and the serum may help prevent new ones from forming.
Niacinamide is 10% harsher for my skin. What should be applied with niacinamide 10% to reduce stiffness/harshness
You could mix 1-2 drops with The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA or beta glucan.

Which to use first? Salicylic or niacinamide? Can i do both at night?
SA, yes - that's fine! :)
Should we apply hyaluronic acid moisturizer after applying niacinamide acid ??
Yes, this could work. Alternatively, you can use your HA serum first, followed by Niacinamide, and then your moisturizer (or skip the moisturizer altogether, especially if you have oily skin) 😊
Is it okay to start with 10%niacinamide for beginners?
If your skin tolerates it, yes :)
Hi ! Can i use beauty of joseon eye serum and then niacinamide for face ?
yes
Should I wash it off afterwards?
No, it's meant to be left on the skin. For example, if you apply it in the evening, leave it on the skin for the entire night.
Suggest face wash pls for dry to normal skin also having white heads and open pores
The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser or Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser. As for whiteheads, get an extraction tool to extract them or see a beautician to do it for you. I also recommend including a low-strength Retinol, like the one from Good Molecules, as it's a gel-cream formulation that doesn't clog pores.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thnku so much ✨💞
How many times can we use in week?
Technically, it depends on your personal skin tolerance; I could use it once per day without any issues.
If you are using it at evening is it compulsory to use sun screen the next day?
Yes, I recommend using it whenever you spend prolonged periods outdoors. Daily sunscreen application is crucial for protecting skin from harmful UV rays and maintaining skin health, irrespective of the use of other skincare products like niacinamide.
I have a oily skin and some acne and pimples and also I have a blackheads my skin texture is little bit dull will it work ?? or can I use this serum pllzzz guide me plzz
It may show some improvements for acne or pimples, but not for blackheads. There is no way around extraction, so consider doing it yourself with a tool (you can find instructional videos online) or by visiting an esthetician!

Why others suggest to use TO niacinamide only 2 times per week as its too strong??
I don't know why people would do that, but most likely, it's because they just want to create a different type of content and rank their videos on Google, RUclips, get into browse features, etc. So, to put it simply, it's to get attention.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet first of all thank you for your reply!
I watched this video, as I'm new to niacinamide and I want to learn more for this ingredient
ruclips.net/video/QB9ZawSHPcU/видео.htmlsi=Fw3zLhWQpMLy3Zce
Well, it's mass advertising, meant to get you to click on the links below the video, which is sadly the reality of 99.9% of RUclips and social media these days. Anyway, what exactly do you want to know? Great informational sources about Niacinamide include Paula's Choice Dictionary or Incidecoder.com.
For example:
www.paulaschoice.com/ingredient-dictionary/ingredient-niacinamide.html
incidecoder.com/ingredients/niacinamide
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I'm using TO Aha.bha once per week without an issue. Two weeks ago I used for the first time niacinamide and TO retinoid for the first time (different days) and I had a breakout. I was careful with the dosages, 2 drops niacinamide and 2 drops of retinoid.
So I'm trying to figure out what caused it.
What if you stop using Niacinamide and Retinol, wait for your skin to calm down, and then introduce one new product at a time? Once your skin has adjusted to it, you can include the other treatment. It's also normal to experience breakouts in the beginning as the skin needs some time to get used to them. However, if it hasn't calmed down within a month, it's best to stop using them and/or switch to a different strength or formulation.
Hey can I leave serum overnight?

It could be too much for the skin to handle. Were there any other new products you introduced into your routine while using the niacinamide serum?
Hi Melissa
Is it ok to use The Ordinary lactic acid, niacinamide & azelic acid respectively Daily?
It depends on your personal skin tolerance, but after some time, this may become too much, so I would recommend alternating days, especially with the acids.

Hey! :)
There are different way on how you can use them:
1. Use Niacinamide in the AM and BHA in the PM.
2. Use both in the PM but on alternate days.
3. Use them in the same routine - but make sure to adjust the frequency of use.

Hi
Can you please suggest me a good moisturiser to use with niacinamide serum
I use the ordinary 10% niacinamide serum
I have acne prone skin and large pore
What's your skin type? Do you feel the need to use a moisturizer?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial combination to oily skin
Yeah I do feel the need to use a moisturiser
Currently I'm using "St ives renewing moisturizer collagen & elastin"
I'm 25 years old
Recently, my pores started to get large and I have acne prone skin
@@okbye9039 Since when do you use that moisturizer and since when have your pores become larger? What cleanser do you use? And since when do you use it?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial it has become larger recently( even last year, it wasn't that bad)
I started using this moisturiser last week.
I use cosrx salicylic acid cleanser
And I used to use niacinamide 10% serum before for my acne, I stopped using it after my skin became normal
Now,I'm using it again for my large pores,I started it last week with the moisturiser
I have just recently bought niacinamide acid 10% of derma co and its my first time using it but now I am hella confused like do I have to just apply it at night and don't have to apply anything after or before it or do I have to apply ponds moisturizer after applying niacinamide acid serum 😭😭 I don't have that much skin care products I only have the pond moisturizer and that niacinamide acid serum or do I have to purchase anything else too? kinda confused💀
After cleansing (AM and PM), it's fine to use the serum on its own. How often you can use it during the week and throughout the day depends on your personal needs and tolerance. If you have drier skin, it's also perfectly fine to use a moisturizer afterwards.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank u soo soo much but isn't the 10 percent naecinimide serum can be rough for a beginner like me so can I mix it up with the pond moisturizer on my palm in order to dilute it and since I am using it for the first time so I was thinking to use only 1-2 drop on my palm then apply on my face after mixing it up with moisturizer
@@PredatorGaming-dt8nc Well, you can do that, but generally, 10% niacinamide is not that strong. It's mainly about using just a small amount of 3-5 drops for the face and neck. Irritation usually happens because people use an entire dropper or mix it with other potent serums. This then leads to irritation and sensitivities.
Can I apply moisturizer and then the serum?🤍
no, the other way around.
Hello, I just want to say thank you for your videos. I learned so much from them and can't wait to get started.
I was hoping you could help me out and give me tips on this skincare routine I constructed.
AM:
Wash face with water (after experimenting I found my acne is less if I don't use the cleanser in the morning and only water)
Hyaluronic acid or moisturizer (I can't decide which would help)
Sunscreen
PM: (this is what I need help on the most)
cerave foaming facial cleanser
Salicylic acid serum (I don't know if I should use a cleanser or a serum, what do you recommend)
Niacinamide serum
(I learned this from one of your videos and don't know if this is enough for me)
I haven't used any of it before so if u could tell me how to start I would be very grateful
and just to give u more info if u help, I currently have random breakouts of whiteheads, I think a little uneven skin color and uneven skin texture, I am not completely sure if I have blackheads or if they aren't, I have shaving bumps too because I shave my facial hair every day.
And one last thing under my eyes seem very dull and aren't the same tone as my skin making me look like I never sleep so if u have any recommendations on that too then thank you.
I apologize for the very long message, I have been a fan for 3 years now, and you are honestly the only person I trust with skin care advice. So getting some from you, I feel like it would help very much. 😊
Hey! :)
Have you ever commented under my videos? If yes, I couldn't find any of your previous comments to get more information on what we have already talked about - so I'm sorry if I'm asking again...
What's your skin type?
Overall, the setup of your AM and PM routine looks good. You can choose an SA serum and then leave it on the skin or rinse it off after 15 minutes or so...kind of like a mask. This way, you can use a non-exfoliating acid cleanser in the AM and PM. If you have oily skin, I recommend choosing an HA serum; if your skin is more on the dry side, you may enjoy a gel or gel-cream-like moisturizer.
How often you can use Niacinamide and SA depends on your skin tolerance, so you have to test it. Still, in the beginning, I would use Niacinamide in the AM and SA in the PM. If your skin tolerates it well, you can also choose to use them together.
As for blackheads and whiteheads, you may also want to extract them with an extraction tool.
For your shaving bumps, I recommend switching to a hair trimmer/electric razor instead. Like the ones you use to shave your head hair. This is what works the best for my husband.
Are you referring to dark circles under the eyes or what exactly is your concern?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you for replying, yes I have commented on a past video but it is okay. I appreciate you answering now.
My skin type is oily so I will use the HA serum. Thank you for sharing the advice on the SA serum. Do you think getting all my products from the ordinary would be fine or are there better alternatives?
Also would the extraction tools not cause scarring? I remember using this metal white head extraction tool that had a small circle that you would press against the skin to remove it but it was painful and left some scars. So would the products help get rid of them on their own?
I already use an electric shaver but are you referring to the ones that rotate? If so could you also share with me the one your husband uses? Do you think I should also opt for an after shave or will the products in my routine be enough to help.
Yes, I am referring to dark circles. I have had them for years but I am hoping they are not genetic. If you know of any products or things to use to help fix it, I would appreciate it.
@@discountanimation5952 Oh, okay! I'm sorry, but I can't seem to find our previous conversations... RUclips sucks a bit at that.
The Ordinary offers great products, like their Glucoside Foaming Cleanser. Salicylic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and NMF + Beta Glucan are all excellent products! :)
Well, the type of extraction tool you use matters a lot. I use one similar to this (it's not the exact one, but the shape is the same): www.amazon.com/Teenitor-Extractor-Treatment-Surgical-Blackhead/dp/B093RJ6R4V/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2Y9NVVQAAN7TZ&keywords=extraction+tool&qid=1701777753&sprefix=extraction+too%2Caps%2C280&sr=8-7
I haven't experienced any scarring. I mean, I extract my pimples/little dark spots when they are ready. After that, the skin is a bit red, but this calms down pretty fast. If it's a bigger pimple, of course, it needs longer to heal. However, in my opinion, the body tries to clean itself, so when a pimple is ready, I extract the pus and leave it alone. It also depends on the type of pimples. Like I wouldn't use that tool if they are deep under the skin and you can't see a head on the surface. Also, make sure to clean the tool after every use.
Instead of Salicylic Acid, you could look into Benzoyl Peroxide and follow a routine like this: ruclips.net/video/zq9w8rd8rd8/видео.htmlsi=2Aap4SOXi3Upmj0m
Okay, no, he does not use one that rotates; it's without the thin blades. Something like this: www.amazon.com/Philips-Hairclipper-7000-HC7650-14/dp/B081SGS655/ref=sr_1_15?crid=FDBGHGNXCRKW&keywords=philips+hair+trimmer&qid=1701778151&sprefix=philips+ha%2Caps%2C264&sr=8-15. He uses the shortest length, and that works really well for him. He used to have a lot of razor bumps and irritations from regular shavers like the one with 3 blades or so. But he doesn't have that issue anymore.
Well, you may have luck with an eye serum or cream that contains brightening ingredients like Niacinamide, Vitamin C, etc. However, if it's genetic, there isn't much you can do. However, if it is caused by stress, lack of sleep, an allergy, etc., I recommend improving that so that your dark circles will improve.
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you very much for the advice and sharing of products. Just so you know the old video i commented on was "How To Use Salicylic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid,
Niacinamide And Retinol (Normal to Oily
Skin Mild Acne)".
I was wondering because you shared new products that i never heard of before, could you possibly make me a routine. If you have a video with all the products in a routine then please send a link and I can watch that. Whatever is easier for you.
I'm thinking of starting to use a under eye cream/serum too so if u have any recommendations as well as how to add it in the routine that will help. Again if you have a video speaking about all this then that is great and I would love to watch it. 😊

Just add Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide in your AM routine (after cleansing - before moisturizer/SPF). See here: ruclips.net/video/b09k0EhbifE/видео.htmlsi=q_olEGP7Hx2wXmqE
Hm...The Ordinary, Beauty of Joseon, etc have eye serums...but it really depends on the cause of your dark circles.
Can i use for day and night?
depends on your personal skin tolerance.
Can i use sun block instead of moisturiser
In the AM, yes. However, not in the PM.
Hey .. don’t we have to wash it after 10 minutes ?
No, you leave it on the skin and do not wash it off. You remove it when you wash your face the next time.
Hey is it normal if ur pimples burns after putting this
Yes, once they have healed a bit, it should stop.
Is this work on pigmentetion? I have light pegmentetion in mouth area not the lips and I have normal skin
Do you have melasma? If yes, then this will not work for you. However, if you have pigmentation issues like dark spots, it is worth giving it a try.
I have melasma and I bought this ordinary today I wish I saw this text earlier 😢
Use warm water?
When washing your face? Yes, but not hot.
Should we apply directly sunscreen or moisturizer first then sunscreen after using niacinamide serum ?
What's your skin type?
The correct order would go like this:
- Cleanser - Niacinamide - Moisturizer - Sunscreen
However, depending on your skin type and sunscreen, you may not need to use a moisturizer before applying your sunscreen.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet oily
@@priyanshisingh4135 So, leave out your moisturizer :)
How many times am I supposed to use it in a week?
technically you can use it daily.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDietty i was wondering how much i should use it
@@comeholdthiswood I mentioned it in the short :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet my sound was off bc i was out 😭
@@comeholdthiswood
I am.45 years old I started using 10% niacinamide I did not feel any burning stinging while using but slowly my skin got darker in colour than it was. I stopped using it. what may be the reason??
There are a few potential explanations for why you may have experienced skin darkening while using niacinamide:
Sun exposure: If you were not properly protecting your skin from the sun while using niacinamide, increased sun exposure could have caused skin darkening.
Other ingredients: It's possible that you could be sensitive or allergic to one of the other ingredients in this formulation.
Or a reaction to niacinamide: Although rare, it's possible that you could have had an adverse reaction to niacinamide that caused skin darkening.
Thank you for your reaply I used before bed time with cerave moisturizer may be due to my sensitive skin I got allergy with niacinamide
@@samishasitoula209 Hm..this shouldn’t cause any issues however, the concentration may be too strong for you. Look into a lower strength serum instead :)
Hi, i have a few spots of hyperpigmentation left from pimples. Do you recommend this? How much should i apply and when?
Just wait; it will fade on its own.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet oh okay, however they have been here for quite some time
@@z.a075 For how long? Because some can stay for weeks, or even months, and in rare cases, even years. If they have been present for quite some time, it will not be effective because it has moved to the deeper skin layers. Therefore, it's only suitable for surface hyperpigmentation that is relatively new and still developing.
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial a few months, ive been fading them away with tumeric masks - do u think i can try niacinamide?
@@z.a075 no, but you can try it...
Do i use it everyday?
you can, yes, if you tolerate it well.
Is there any time break for moisturizer after applying serium
with this one no.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I got the 5% one so? Are there any time breaks or not? Thankyou
@@Kriishnnnaaa No, just let it absorb into the skin before applying your moisturizer on top.
Can you apply retinol before or after using this for your night routine?
Yes, use Retinol after Niacinamide :)
