NIACINAMIDE - IS IT WORTH THE HYPE? DERMATOLOGISTS WEIGH IN

Niacinamide is an ingredient found in many skin care products and it receives a TON of hype. But is the hype justified? In this video, we review niacinamide as a skin care ingredient, it's benefits, and at the end, we make product recommendations!

Niacinamide has many benefits to the skin, including brightening skin tone, improving hyperpigmentation, decreasing oil production (in some people), fighting acne, decreasing redness, and moisturizing the skin.

Interestingly, many of the studies on the benefits of niacinamide were done with concentrations less than 5%. Therefore, it's not always necessary to find products with high concentrations of this product to see the benefits mentioned above!

I've added Niacinamide 20% in the morning and Vitamin C 30% at night and my acne has cleared up!!! I'm 36 and it's the first time I've been acne free since a teenager 😭🙌

In my opinion hell yeah niacinimide is totally worth the hype

after 4 weeks of using niacinamide and retinol, the texture of my skin has significantly changed for the better. I love it!

It’s absolutely changed my skin. The redness, discoloration, even my pores have “shrunk” (they’re just cleaner lol). It keeps the hormonal acne at bay, AND it’s cheap and not a sticky weird goop. Cerave has a night time lotion with it that is fantastic (it’s somehow lighter than their light daytime cream, so I layer them both). It’s one of those “either works for you or it doesn’t” type of ingredients, but I’m so so glad I found something that works 😩

I’m getting married in 2 months and for some reason my skin has been acting up for the last two weeks.. so.. i just got the niacinamide from the ordinary & the caffeine solution from them too… wish me luck ! Hope I can see a positive change in 8 weeks 😩

I LOVE how you guys use fair balance and clinical research when you break down skin care ingredients and products!

I came here for a Niacinamide review. But can I actually marry one of these doctors ? Seriously speaking !

I’d been having a hormonal outbreak with already reddish skin. I’d say within 2-3 days my acne started clearing up and the redness toned down. It takes a lot for me to be impressed with skincare products, it was so quick I became a believer

I use 10% concentration and my skin loves it. And it makes my face even, no more combination skin!

[dennisbecker]

I want someone that looks at me like Dr. Maxfield looks at Dr. Shah.

My Skincare routine:
1) Niacinamide foaming cleanser
2) 10% Niacinamide Face serum
3) Salicylic Acid Moisturizer with oat extract
4) 1% Hyaluronic acid sunscreen

10% niacinamide + zinc from deciem/the ordinary has been a GAME CHANGER for me! My skin is now brighter, smoother with a healthy shine, my dark circles are greatly reduced to the point of not needing concealer like I once did (I had NO idea it had this effect when I bought it), and my PIH has reduced greatly after a month of use. I wish I started using it sooner!

Coming back to this 9 month old video to say THANK YOU! This was the missing piece of my routine. I have oily skin with hormonal acne and have been using retinol, AHA+BHAs for years but nothing stopped the comedomes. I should have bought stock in blotting linens. But two months ago after watching this I went out and bought a moisturizer with niacinamide and I haven't had a whitehead since! Thank you! <3 <3 <3

The Ordinary Niacinamide has done wonders in my skin 🥰 My pores look cleaner, my redness is controlled, my acne and oil is controlled. If I could choose only one skincare product, that would be it ❤️

[razimirza]

Your videos has become another part of my routine now.

[joyallred]

When I first used it, I used it right after a salicylic acid cleanser and it DESTROYED my skin. Immediately after switching to a cleanser without salicylic acid, my skin got better again.

[izziestevens]

So glad Hyram recommended your channel!

[yasmeenkhankhan]

Basically, yes niacinamide is worth the hype.
Thank you

The 10% is because The Ordinary duped Paula's choice's booster, which was supposed to be diluted. Then it became popular and other brands followed blindly.
