First Dr. Alexis, your skin is gorgeous! And you are stunning! Second, this was such a wonderful explanation of the basics of niacinamide. And th a nk you for explaining the differences in these two brands, I use Good Molecules Niacinamide Toner which I've found works wonders for me because it has licorice root, arbutin & vit C. It's lovely, but so many of my subscribers ask me about these 2 brands so now I have your very informative video to send them to! Thank you so much!
Dr Alexis Stephens hi in inkey niacinamide have so many options I have dry skin and hyperpigmentation so which one I should use it’s oil control but I need not oil control one
OMG!!!!! I think i finally found my WOC skin care home!!!! I felt so informed and not STUPID for the first time when listening to how ingredients work. I felt like you were talking to the common person instead of a fellow dermatologist. Thank you so much!!!!!! This was my first time watching your channel and WOW. Welp, looks like I have a lot of catching up to do....binge watching now.
@@DrAlexisStephens Hi Dr. Stephens. I'm a new subscriber and am learning so much from you. I do have a question. As a African American female, just learning to use these products to treat a new case of hyperpigmentation I've been experiencing, is it safe to combine the Inkey niacinamide with the Drunken Elephant B-Hydra Hydration serum? Please advise 🙏
Your thoughts if you were to review the following UA-cam person Dr. Hanoi skin care video titled "How to get ride of Hyper pigmentation" ua-cam.com/video/HAtTpSvurvI/v-deo.html Here is a idea of products in order of usage: 1-Mandelic acid from Facetheory 2-Alpha arbutin, azelaic acid and niacinamide from The Ordinary 3-Cleanser, Moisturizer, and Sunscreen from Avon.
I didn’t realize that it could be different formulas for different skin types. As a new subscriber I need to say thank you for such a great informative video.
Wonderful information and comparison of these brands. I've never tried either of these but have used the Paula's Choice Niacinamide for years and I love it. I love your explanation to pretreat with Niacinamide too! I can't typically use L ascorbic but love SAP, MAP and THD is my fave form of Vit C. I will try using Niacinamide with L ascorbic and see if it stops the irritation. Such great info!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!
The Inkey List is my favourite. It’s well rounded and my skin loves it. I got The Ordinary’s as well but my skin reacted to it. I can handle it now but it took me some time and when I use it, I’m very careful and I only use a small drop of it (I use up to three small drops of The Inkey List niacinamide). But both are good, affordable products. I love them.
Than you for this info. As a woman of color, it comforts me to know that you use it as well. I'm going to start tonight. Super excited and hopeful!!! God bless you all! To everyone reading this, Jesus loves you. He is coming back soon. Lets turn to Him and repent of our sins so we can be saved before it's too late.
I noticed a huge difference in my skin just 3 days into using niacinamide.... it’s wonderful.. so happy to learn that I can use it on my under eyes... I was worried to try that, thank you 🙏🏻
This may not sound as impressing to you, being that you have no idea who I am, but I actually learned a new thing today. I had known about the different components of oils but had a hard time categorizing them in my mind. You helped solved a huge issue in my way of approaching skincare. Thank you, immensely. 🙌🏽
hi! i have semi oily skin and acne/hyperpigmentation that is slowly going away.. can i still use The Inkey list one? its the only one that's available near me love your videos!😚
I know The Ordinary’s version is better for people who have super oily skin, but does anyone else think the “mattified” finish it gives you after it’s applied isn’t even a good type of matte? Like it makes your skin look tight and dull and like it got sucked dry of any sign of moisture. It’s not some healthy glow from within type of look. Idk maybe it’s just me. Not that I can even get it to work after I put moisturizer on top without it starting to pill 😤
I have excessively oily skin and have both of these niacinamides, however the TO one broke me out whereas Ive seen such a difference in my skin since using the inkey list. Thank you for breaking down the difference between the two!
What were your results using the niacinimide of your choice. I also have hyperpigmentation and am looking for brief feedback on your results? Which one did you get? Was it effective? Take long to see effect?
Dr. Alexis your explanation on how niacinamide doesn't get rid of pores, instead it helps to reduce sebum accumulation in the pores is worth noting. Thank you.
Hey girl, i just found your channel. Only 200 subs for now but you'll grow fast, no doubt. You're absolutely adorable and I love you already! All the best! Milena from Canada xoxo's ❤🤩🇨🇦👏
Thank you!!! I'm so glad I found your channel. I've battled sensitive hyperpigmentation skin all my life. To have information and products to use on people of color is Amazing.
Thank you so much for the video. So glad I found your channel! Can I use a combination of a liquid BHA, niacinamide, and vitamin C in the morning or should I not be mixing these ingredients together?
I wish it didn’t have soybean oil. So bad for us. I don’t trust it to eat it. Can’t trust it on my skin. But I love your channel. You are amazing and so pretty.
I have watched all your videos, I can't get enough and you became my most skincare trustee UA-camr, thanks so much for explaining so well! I highly value scientific-based choices, thanks for the charts and the information troubleshooting of understanding our skin day to day, week to week, and month to month!
This was so helpful! Your teaching on the kinetics/dynamics of niacinamide actually helped me understand how it works! I wish you were teaching all my courses in nursing school 🤣💗
Dr. Alexis what are the alternatives of niacinamide? Every time I tried any product with niacinamide makes my face stings :( (examples, the ordinary niacinamide, sunscreen with niacinamide, dear klairs vitamin E mask).
Great video! I’ll try the niacinamide by the inky list. I’ve been using the ordinary niacinamide for the past 2 months and it dries my skin out really badly for some reason. I have combination skin. I only use it every other night because of this. I was quite frustrated because everyone swears by it but my experience was not as magical. But it does get rid of my closed comedones reallly well.
I literally LOVE your channel, knowledgeable woman of color... You break everything down piece by piece making it so easy to understand. As to be expected because your skin is flawless..
Such an informative video. Any product from the ordinary unfortunately breaks me out. I have very oily acne prone skin , with hyperpigmentation and acne scars. I started using Inkey and my skin is loving it!
I just use the ordinary because it’s the cheapest out of the two and most affordable for my student budget (even though their products are so small) Well at least here in the Canadian Sephora’s.
Hi Dr Alexis, I love all of your informative videos!!!! Hormonal acne with hyperpigmentation. Can I/should I use the inky list niacinamide or not since it has soybean oil in it???? I hear soybean oil and hormonal acne isn’t a good combination. Please help. Thank you!!!
Hi, which niacinamide is good for PIE? I have normal skin with acne on my cheeks, and I have a lot of red acne (its PIE, I guess). Please let me know which would suit me, thanks! :)
Thank you so much for a very informative video. I have sensitive skin and tried the Ordinary and my skin freaked out so much. I will give the Inkey list a try
@@annamelai8356 If you live in the UK you can buy a 15% Niacinamide serum from any SAVERS shop branch for £3. Niacinamide is the 2nd ingredient on the list of ingredients on it. The brand is called Balance Active Formula. 😁
Hey Dr. Stephens, is it possible that my skin feels dehydrated whenever I use Niacinamide? I wanted to use TO for my oily acne prone skin, but it did dry out my skin somehow... is the inkey list better for me? or Niacinamide is just not for my skin? Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos! I am wondering if I can use both at the same time? I have combo skin with oily skin in my T-zone and normal (sometimes dry) skin in other areas. I also have hyper-pigmentation around my cheek and chin area. I was thinking of using The Ordinary niacinamide on my t-zone and the Inkey List niacinamide on other areas of my face. Thoughts?
What are some moisturizers you recommend to pair with niacinamide! I currently use the Cerave PM during the day (which has niacinamide in it, so would that be too much?) and the Cerave moisturizing cream in the tube for nighttime - is that too occlusive? I also saw that it has 'caprylic/capric triglyceride' which is a saturated FA and didn't know if it would counteract with the soybean! Thank you so much for such an informational video, I just ordered the Inkey List one! :)
Great job on delivery this information! I'm curious what you would consider the correct amount to use. I'm using the TO and I keep hearing different things...some say 3 drops others use full dropper??? Thank you for your advice!
Will they both cause me to purge or is it just the ordinary niacinamide? I get really oily skin fast when I wear makeup, shall I still use the inkey list.
Thank you so much for you wonderful channel and great information. I have been fighting hyperpigmentation for a while and I see some real improvement with some of the products that you’ve recommended, but the only thing is is there a pure product of Alpha Arbutin Without hydraulic acid I find that Hyaluronic acid makes me break out in pimples and the Alpha Arbutin has Hyaluronic acid I it. Would you be able to suggest a substitute? Thank you sooo much!
Hi Dr. Stephens!! Thank you for this video! I was wondering if you had a recommendation for someone dealing with fungal acne? I’m currently trying to get mine under control and want to try niacinamide but worried about any potential red flags in regards to using it with my fungal acne?
For someone who has been battling acne for almost 3 decades, I am glad for this detailed explanation, thank you. Quick question: can I layer this solution with Differine? (oily skin)
I did know Fatty acids benefit the skin with hyperpigmentation. I am using The Ordinary, but I will give the other brand a try once I finish the product. Information for skin of colour is so much needed. Please do a video on skin products that are safe to try when using retinoid prescription on skin with melasma and hyperpigmentation. Thank you 🙏
Actually I'm using The Ordinary's Niacinamide, 2% Granactive Retinoid and Azelaic acid, JJ Labs Vitamin C seurmand the Inkey List Alpha Arbutin plus Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid and of course SPF. It It's been 4 weeks and I've seen improvement in my inflammation and texture as well as my ance scars beginning to lighten. I get PIE and PIH on my brown skin so I use Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin everyday but I use the acids and Retinoid only twice a week on different days
Im using the Inkey List Niacinamide and my skin is loving it! Spots are healing up and acne scars seem to be peeling? Im also double cleansing with Inkey List oat cleanser and simple micellar gel wash and using Faded cream then Paulas choice Omega complex moisturiser. Its taking a while but Im being patient. Im 55 and working on acne scarring on the cheeks.
Have you ever tried Cos De BAHA? It seems to have very similar ingredients to the Inkey List one and is a little cheaper if you buy 2 ounce bottles. It seems to be good for me, but I have never tried any other niacinimide, so can't compare. It is in an aloe base, so thicker than The Ordinary serums tend to be.
Very informative! I didn't know niacinimide boosted the effectiveness of other actives. I have psoriasis, so am very interested in helping my skin barrier. The channel Graceful Beauty recommended you and I just subbed!
Hi Thx 4 The Video First Time Seen Your Video Hunn, And Im Loving It. I Just Wanted To Ask You How Do I Use This Product.I Mean On Its Own Or With Other Products? And I Use Other Skin Products With Retinol I Use ,Hayaloronic Acid,Vitamin C And Pixi Glow Tonic Can You Please HELP Me Which Product I Should Use From First To Last.

Please can you do a video on the ordinary’s amino acid +B5, marine Hyaluronic and also pycnogenol. if it is advisable for skin of colour dealing with hyperpigmentation. I would really appreciate it, I don’t think any one had done it before, they. Just mention this products in passing, thank you.
I’m new to all this as I never did anything but wash & a cream Now that my daughter is 20 I have more time Thank you for this video I have recently started using this product & it’s great to learn I can use it day & night to enchants absorbtion of the other products:)
