Hey Dr, really appreciate that you repeat your doubts in multiple ways “I’m not sure that is the case... it could happen but it’s highly unlikely” - You’re an expert, and a skeptic too. That feels rigorous and good for those background listening.
I just LOVE how no bullsh*t Dr. Dray is! No beating around the bush and straight to the facts 💯
You are helping me so much Dr. Dray. I have a really bad habit of trying to do everything to my skin because I hated my acne so much as a teenager. But since I simplified things it's gotten better. thank you for sharing science backed, informed advice with us struggling folks!
I have to say, finding Dr Dray and her informative and entertaining videos has been the silver lining to being home with Covid-only wish I discovered her two weeks ago!
I believe CeraVe disclosed that their CeraVe PM has 4% Niacinamide. It's perfect honestly. I don't need a separate niacinamide product when I use Cerave PM as my moisturiser
Been meaning to buy this! I hear great things about it.
Exactly
Good to hear - I tried to reach out to CeraVe about their niacinamide %, and they politely declined to disclose, citing formula exclusivity etc
It’s reallyyyyy light though, I like a thicker more occlusive pm like Cetaphil redness relief
Took me 1 month to figure it out why my skin was so red after starting using that lotion. Later on I used a serum with 5% niacinamide and the same thing happened. I’m not sure if it is the niacinamide or other ingredient, because I used other products with niacinamide and my skin stayed normal.
Your skin looks extra radiant today Dr Dray! Hello from a fellow Houston resident and hope you have a great day!
Dr. Dray,
Thank you for your transparency, I appreciate it. You take the time to educate us not just talk at us.
The time you take to provide information that is thorough and unbiased is invaluable.
The kind of advice/information you provide is something you usually have to get a referral for then wait months for an appointment.
In the U.S. you may need private insurance to see a highly competent physician? I’m not sure.
Luckily in Canada everyone has access to quantity health care.
I’m both amazed and grateful that you take the time to make these videos.
I'm relieved to hear I am not alone. I have dry sensitive skin and Niacinamide has been a disaster for me. Vitamin C on the other hand works for me even in high percentages, with no issues.
Same i used niacinamide as an essence back then and its itcy and sting....its also breakout my skin after that
niacinamide reduces oil production. maybe, just maybe that's why???? hopefully it wasn't overdying your skin
@@saraaaa466 I'm using the good molecule niaminamide toner and im starting to notice tiny bumps around my check...do you think is irritation or just purging cause I cant fund any purging video on thier products
@@ehiedusi6461 depends on the color bae :) if the tiny bumps are the color of your skin, that may be texture you're just noticing, will probably go away. feel your cheek, read your skin, listen to it and what it wants you to do. maybe you have dry skin or irritation because you're using too much! if you've only been using it for a couple weeks, your skin may simply be getting used to it almost like what it does with retinol, etc. introducing new actives is hard, so remember to be patient and stay consistent :) i know this is a product that everyone loves, so try using less of it possibly and remember to moisturize/wear spf. your skin should start improving !! always remember to talk to a derm if the problem persists, maybe see if it's clashing with any of your other products, etc. you really can have too much of a good thing, so remember, use less!!!
Same here!
I love it, when you cover the exact topic I was desperately looking for! 💜
Thank you as always, your content is sooooo helpful!!!
It’s almost as if Dr. Dray can read my mind! I mean the last few days whatever questions have popped up in my head, I’ve seen a video made on it 😅😅😅 thank you! I’ve learned so much through your channel! ❤️🥰
I just found your channel and love your videos. I definitely did a binge watching session and it has been so informative. Thanks so much for your input. Keep up the great work!
Dr Dray I just wanted to thank you for your all tips, and videos! Especially the ones for eczema, mine hasn’t ever been severe as some but it’s definitely been something I’ve always dealt with. Recently I started Dupixent, and the hype around it was true, my eczema has basically all cleared! Now I can focus on strengthening my skin barrier again, and focus on the more aesthetic parts of my skincare like dark spots, and preventing signs of aging lol. Also, now that my eczema has cleared so much I can comfortably use my Retin-A Micro again!
Thanks for posting this!!! I was so excited to try TO's niacinamide and my patch test INSTANTLY broke out splotchy red!! I definitely felt like I was missing out on all the awesomeness!
How you have done patch test?
As a sensitive redhead, I love Vanicream, Aveeno, and CeraVe products and have used them for years at the recommendation of my dermatologist. I plan on trying some of these other product lines. I have been able to use CeraVe Daily Moisturizer Lotion and Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash for my daily routine. I use CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for my face which does not have niacinamide listed. It is recommended for eczema patients. It does have hyaluronic acid in it.
I have mature combination skin that is prone to redness and irritation. I just started using the 10% Niacinamide from The Ordinary recently and feared the reactions others report, and I did feel irritated after my first use. I changed up my usage steps after watching another video and have had no problems and have seen improvement in my redness and irritation. The key is to use a moisturizing gentle wash like CeraVe, use hyaluronic acid first, then use only 2-3 drops of Niacinamide for the whole face. I follow with a good gentle, unscented moisturizer.
Hello, I'm also combination skin type can you tell the skin care products that works to you..
This is so helpful. I see now I was using WAY to much Niacinamide and that’s what caused me to starting feeling burning. I had never had any issue with niacinmide before so I was confused why it suddenly seemed to bother me. I’m dropping the 10% serum and sticking with just the 2% that’s in my nighttime moisturizer
I still apply products with it even though it stings for about a minute. The benefits far outweigh the minimal temporary discomfort for me 🙂
I recently found your channel while looking up a Derm's review on Drunk Elephant. I'm addicted to your channel now! I love your videos, they're so informative and I love how much educational research you talk about. I went to school for esthetics and have been obsessed with skincare my entire life, so I find all the things you discuss fascinating! I started following on Instagram as well. Super happy to have found you Dr. Dray!
This is so interesting to hear you talk about this and read everyone’s experiences in the comments. I had no idea about the prevalence of these reactions! I use the ordinary 10% and it transformed my skin. I’m talking overnight my active breakouts hurt less and my rosacea flushing is basically gone now. I can even use this twice a day. Dr Dray, do you think it’s bc of my skin condition maybe that I tolerate this so well, when others who don’t have rosacea do not? I find I actually need it in serum form and the 10% was actually the game changer. The 5% in Elta UV Clear even did nothing compared to this. It has to be bc of that inherent barrier defect of the rosacea right? That since I need that repair I don’t have the reactions? So mind boggling. The human body and how people are different is such a fascinating thing.
Thanks for the info! I got the ordinary niacinamide with zinc as a gift recently. Found a little discomfort and was wondering why.
It’s so hard to avoid though because as you said it’s now in EVERYTHING! Even in sunscreens! It’s forcing some of us to buy products we wouldn’t normally buy because we can no longer use the sunscreen we liked or the moisturizer we loved.
Thanks so much for this video!
Thank you Dr Dray I’m 51yo calling my skin ‘sensitive’ for so many years after re-educating myself thanks to channel’s such as yourself I have learned that it really was not sensitive. Skincare has come a long way, there is no excuse for brands that have been around since I started my routine early teens, putting so much crap in their products making me think I had sensitive skin. Also a lot has been down to user error on my part, redness around my nose was because I put cleanser on my dry skin left it on, showered and SCRUBBED it off with a wash cloth burning and irritating my skin. I have learned so much here.
I tried the Skinlex brand of niacinamide and my face looked and felt like a bad sunburn.
I just use Cerave PM now and don’t have any issues.
Dr. Dray - What do you think about long term use of topical clindamycin gel?
The video I needed! Thank you 💕🥰
I needed this information so much - thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video. It is a blessing for anyone still unsure on how to use and at what percentages. I wish I had this info a few months back when I had my first niacinamide experience with the Ordinary + Zinc serum. Needless to say, it burned my cheeks like crazy and small little white bumps formed on my chin. It took weeks to clear up. I wasn't using any other product except face wash (which I'd used for years) and a basic moisturizer. I tossed the serum, rather incorporating 2% niacinamide in my new moisturizer. My skin is much better now. Happy Friday🎉
Which niacinamide serum u r using right now.
I absolutely love Niacinamide ❤❤❤ I feel like my skin has benefitted from this ingredient, been using for 4 months now, only seeing a little improvement but ill take it! Good Day Doc! ❤❤❤💎
Have a happy Friday! I don't have that problem with it burning but I still watch whatever you're putting out!!! 🎄
Great topic, Dr Dray. I'm happy that niacinamide doesn't irritate my skin even though my skin is a bit sensitive. I love Cerave PM. Thanks as always. Hope you have a lovely evening. 💟
I went to buy a cerave product a few days ago, and all of their products had "new" on the packaging 😪 when I looked up reviews, the recent ones were complaining of exactly that 😭 that the products had changed and the active ingredients were much lower on the ingredients list. I decided not to bother, but would love your feedback on this Dr Dray 😓
My niacinamide moisturizer only burns when skin is really dry and flakey. Once I heal up, it stops hurting.
Same same!
What helps you ‘help up’?
I had the same experience when my skin is very dry, so I switched to Cera Ve tub which has no niacinamide. The result? still hurts and stings. But none of these happens when my skin returns to normal.
@@christinaexplains2612 the ordinary amino acids + b5, elf happy hydration cream, cerave hydrating facial cleanser
Yeah...same thing happened to me as well
Thank you ❤
You're videos are so very helpful to me 🤗
Great video! I love niacinamide and have used CeraVes Pm moisturizer for over a year...however, now its starting to make my neck sensitive but not my chest or face. Im going to use cerave in the tub for awhile then go back to the pm moisturizer after a few weeks
I used to experience this, but what I didn't realize is that my skin wasn't properly hydrated. So I stopped using niacinamide and went on a hydration phase. After a few weeks, I used niacinamide again and my skin didn't react to it and I now see the difference and how beneficial it is to my skin!
Ooooh!! What products did you use to hydrate?
Same, what did you use to hydrate?
@@BellaMelancholy Back then i was using and testing a lot of products. I don't use Niacinamide as a serum anymore. I now use CeraVe night cream with niacinamide in it + some HA. And i always seal with a thicker cream (eucerin complete repair) as i realized that my skin gets dehydrated during the day.
that's really helpful to know, i didn't even think it could be a hydration problem but for me it seems likely, thank you!
Even products with small amount of niacinimide gives me flushing and rash. I’ve tried (independent of each other- not together): Cetaphil PM redness reducer moisturizer, Colorscience mineral sunscreen, Cerave AM moisturizer, Paula’s choice moisturizer, and purito unscented centella serum. I refused to believe it was bc of the niacinimide for so long, until finally I wasn’t using any product with it and I haven’t had an issue since. It’s so frustrating! I want to love it 😔
This is so far the best explanation about niacinamide.
I love it when you start the video introducing yourself as you used to on the older ones :) hope you're having a nice day, doctor Dray!
I agree. It's very professional. I like it!
Happy Friday, all!!! So nice to be early again for a video after final exams are over. I’ve found the only product w/ niacinamide that stings for me was the cerave pm moisturizer...
Happy Friday! thanks for sharing!
The first time I was using Niacinamide (TO) I felt burn and my face turn red and it was itchy as hell...but I didn’t wanna give up on it just yet cause I heard so many goods than bad of this particular serum...after few days I guess my skin getting used to it and no more bad reaction...I just in love with this serum ever since...
so great thanks and happy friday
Enjoy Tony J 😉
Thank you so much Dr. For this information. As always oh, you're very thorough and I learned a lot from you. I appreciate the fact that you make disclaimers such as you're not working as this or you're not working for the company. That is a very professional attitude to take. I do the same thing in my work with my clients. I like how you break it down and give us so much really good information that is easy to understand.
Can i have your skin lmao
You’ve never done a video on bathtub bathing. Any recommendations for fragrance free bubble bath products?
Just started to see this in my skin! Thanks for this video!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so so much for this video Dr Andrea!,,
You need to sell merch that says "well hey guys!" on it. I would buy it like THAT haha
I experienced burning with niacinamide but then I figured out that the sunscreen was causing the damage... I stopped using that sunscreen and I'm good now!
Great information!
Any recommendations for a sunscreen when using Nia...Thanks a bunch Dr Dray !
Now i understand why my face stinging so much when using the ordinary one. I thought im the only one untill i read all comments, thank god im not the only one.
SAME😢
I am suffering from eczema from wearing my mask so much and on top of that I’m a mouth breather so I’m trapping a lot of moisture around my mouth. I thought it would be a good idea to put the niacinamide (which I actually only put over my nose to get rid of black heads and minimize my pores) all over to get rid of the flakey parts and it stung like hell and now I’ve made things 10 times worst. I’m trying to fix this now just with Gold Bond eczema relief moisturizer 🤦♀️
Ditto
@@jojin9226 has the moisturiser helped you?
@@angelinastarcevic3484 The Gold Bond eczema relief moisturizer worked for me within 3 days. Already day 1 of using it made my skin calmer. It was great. Can't recommend it enough. The oatmeal was so great for my face!
I used The Ordinary’s 10% niacinamide and 2% zinc for a short while until my skin started burning every time I would use it. I was so sad thinking it might not be for me. Recently tried incorporating it back in with other products and no reaction! This makes so much more sense now hearing Dr. Gray. Thank you for so much information!
how did you incorporate it back?
That’s interesting, I wonder what was different the second time around.
I also used this product and after two times it burned so badly. I almost had a chemical burn. My skin turned dark and started peeling. It was miserable!
@@anjelicaandersen9682 I read somewhere that after u bathe, leave some water on your face, then apply niacinamide to lock the water in. You can also apply moisturizer few minutes on top of niacimamide. This prevents skin from dehydrating caused by niacinamide. If ordinary don't work for you, try lnkey niacinamide.
@@drax432 I use Niacinamide+Zinc in that way and don't have bad reaction although my very dry skin.
Thank you for this video.
It makes so much sense. I ended up at an esthetician's office because I used CeraVe sunscreen with reapplication, for two days, and my skin became very, VERY dry and inflamed.
I couldn't figure out WHAT caused it. I figured it was a cleanser I was using.
No, the CeraVe sunscreen has Niacinamide in it.
I got my face healed, and was using Cetaphil cleanser for sensitive skin.
I ended up with another flare up, which I THOUGHT was due to a sunscreen, but no, it was due to me using a cleanser and moisturizer with Niacinamide in it.
So, process of elimination made me recheck the ingredients on the Cetaphil cleanser, and it's the newer formula with Niacinamide in it.
I tried just using the cleanser to see if it was the amount of Niacinamide, and while it improved, I still had the burning and itching feeling in the shower when water droplets got on my face.
I had to remove all Niacinamide from my routine for now.
I could probably handle it in one product, once a day, but I'm not willing to do that right now.
But this video helped confirm my thought that it's probably not that I can never have niacinamide in my routine, but I need to be careful in WHAT products I use that have it in them, and HOW MUCH I am using of those products, and probably how frequently I use those products. It's probably a quantity issue for me.
But my GOD, companies put niacinamide in EVERYTHING. To me, it's ridiculous to put it in everything. For now, I have to avoid certain sunscreens because Niacinamide is in them.
Happy Saturday (now), Dr. Dray! I’ve gotten into your videos about 3 months ago and finished watching most of ur videos going back to 3-4 yrs. I really miss ur vlogs especially the ones with ur mom 🥰 My mom is in Korea (my home country) and im currently in the US, and i miss her terribly. Watching ur old vlogs reminds me of her in the best comforting way. This comment is not to pressure u into vlogging at all btw, it’s simply because it feels weird to comment on old videos haha. Anyways, sending lots of love from nyc, ur videos and ig stories have been blessings during quarantine. Also my skin has never been clearer :))) thank you!!
Finally! I have incorporated the cerave products into my skincare and I have not experienced any burning. Thank you so much for introducing me to this Dr. Dray! ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
I notice I cannot use my Cerave PM moisturizer especially since using Curology (which has controlled my acne and faded dark spots). Now I use Neutrogena Fragrance Free gel moisturizer the new blue one. It’s amazing!!
The most useful channel ever! I'm addicted now)))
I’ve used TO niacinamide, Cerave SA face wash, and Cerave nighttime moisturizer. I have never had such a strong reaction in my skin compared to when I used those products. I got painful blistering with TO and itchy, burning, rash-like reactions with Cerave. Cerave hydrating face wash and body lotion (which don’t have it) work perfectly well on my face and I’ve used SA face washes from other brands just fine. I haven’t seen a reaction like that in my skin with ANY other product. 😭
I am 60 years old and had rosacea in the past. I have been using The Ordinary niacinamide with zinc every morning, and I love it. My skin glows and looks very healthy!
Hii, how you diagnoised rosacea...can you help me out..me suffering since 9years
@@saibhargavi5354 try cerave hydrating cleanser, helped calm my face down.. also dont use any serums on the redness, u need to let the skin calm down. took mine almost a year I finally got it controlled. By stopping using so many products
I have roseacea and I've had the opposite effect with the Ordinary. I currently use a moisturizer and serum that both contain niacinamide and other good ingredients and my complexion has improved greatly.
@@puapucuve6643 I’m gonna try this prod see how it goes I’ve had luck with the cerave retinol serum finally clearing up
Every time I see that 20% niacinamide from Paula's Choice I'm like 😱
SAME! I'm always like...whyyyy...
This is why I'm watching this videos haha
Burnt my skin bad
Same ridiculous
I use niacinamide since I can’t tolerate vitamin c but, at times, it does create sensitivity for me when my skin barrier is really dry. I use 2 drops of the ordinary formula mixed with a hydrating serum. I’ll try cutting back to one drop and see if it helps.
Thank you Dr Dray have a lovely blessed day
Same to you!
Hey all! For those severe rosacea suffers (papulopustulor type) I found a sunscreen that has worked wonders and has actually calmed my rosacea. It’s the CoTZ Sensitive skin 20 % zinc. I then go over top with EltaMD UV elements for its iron oxides. Dr. Dray could you review this product? It’s been amazing.
Niacinamide makes my skin very dry and it does burn and sting when I use it . Most of Korean Skincare has Niacinamide in it . So it’s been a bit hard to find products that don’t have it . But I have started to look out for them . 😊 And I think if one of the products has a low percentage and the rest are hydrating and moisturising enough it should compensate. I guess Skincare is a journey and everyone’s different.
This is very informative! I actually used to use cereve products for like 10 or 12 years with no issues and actually used to get many compliments on my skin at the time...but I have to tell you...., I started to experiment with other products; like the anti aging ones with retinol and out of the blue had a terrible rash on my forehead and around my eyes. I later found out it was eczema! I was so upset because whatever I tried, I could not get rid of it and the itching was unbearable. It also really knocked my self esteem down. But now, it’s been about 8 to 10 months or so, and my rash is gone...well, mostly gone. It seems like my skin on my face hasn’t really been the same ever since. It appears as though I have tiny bumps on my forehead that will not go away. I don’t know what to use. I found out my allergies are propylene glycol, methylzialone (not sure I spelt that right), and coconut oil. But almost every product I see on the shelves have that stuff in them. I’m using eczema honey face wash and body moisturizer and currently, bought the Eva naturals Niacinamide 12% and zinc 2% serum thinking it could help maybe clear up some scars, tone down a little redness, and shrink my pores a little. I’m glad I’ve found your channel though. I’ll see how it is for me. Probably just going to test a small patch of skin somewhere else, maybe on my wrist or neck first. Sorry for my novel. Lol
Very timely for me as that’s what Niacinamide is doing RN as we speak
I was recently diagnosed with rosacea and I’m wondering if there is a list of ingredients that might be sneaky irritants. I especially love learning those included in typically recommended gentle products.
Hii, how you diagnoised with rosacea...suffering since 9years...can you help me out
@@saibhargavi5354 I finally went to see a dermatologist. She took one look at my skin and recognized it right away. (Background redness and small white pustules- all mostly in the center of my face) She prescribed a cream (metronidazole) and it has helped a lot. There are a lot of triggers for rosacea, which are tough to figure out. I'm still learning. So far I think heat, wind, red wine, and sodium lauryl sulfate have been the worst for me.
Definitely followed the last piece of advice a while ago. I kept trying to include niacinamide in my skincare routine, and it was just the the one ingredient that gave me itching and rashes and it burned (I tried isolating it once because I couldn't figure out if it was the niacinamide or not, and it turned out to be it).
I don't know if it was a true allergic reaction, but I am sensitive to certain topicals. Anything with fragrance, anything with alcohol or witch hazel (toners in general I just do not tolerate well - I've tried several). At this moment, my holy grail skin care ingredient is azelaic acid. Without it, my skin reverts to all the problems I've ever had lol. Most lotions and creams also break me out because they just clog me up or for whatever reason make me sooooo oily. As a last ditch effort, I used a petrolatum based lotion (thanks to your recommendations) and it honestly saved my skin paired w/ the azelaic acid. Like - it was night and day how good my skin has gotten. I wake up with no oilyness, just a plump/supple feeling on the skin, and I'm not dry! 😭My acne is gone, save for the common pimple here and there, especially during my period.
So I have concluded that I am probably someone who has sensitive skin. I can handle most vitamin c's though, and retinol, as well as that super strong exfoliator that the ordinary makes. So I don't get my skin 🤣glycolic acid is also another one I can unfortunately not tolerate. Hylauronic acid is also something I cannot handle by itself. It's got to be formulated with just about anything else. And if you would like to know: I finally got my regimen down after almost two years of playing around lol. The simpler, the better for me. My cleansers need to have salicylic acid. C: that's just my skin type I guess (I have combo skin, oily and dry patches). I love squalene~ I've kept richer creams for the body but not the face~ I might try it again at a lower concentration, but since the azelaic acid is doing so well for me, I don't see the need for it right now.
which petrolatum based lotion do you use?
This was so helpful
I picked up Niacinamide+zinc 2017 randomly not knowing it's such a great ingredient or that the percentage is too high, but my skin loved it and I've not stopped ever since. You can tell when your skin is kinda ask you for a product that it likes, more than you like it (application elegance and stuff), I think thanks to this ingredient AND Dr. Dray guide to tretinion, I have not got obvious irritation starting tretinion.
Finally i know that not only me get burnt from this
I discovered that I was allergic to niacinamide after using it over time and my face began to itch, burn, swell, become very sensitive to the sun. I threw out my cerave moisturizer and cleanser and later accidentally used another product with niacinamide and I reacted to it again the same way. It’s a horrible feeling and and I have to use ice packs, Benadryl and hydrocortisone, and sunscreen to treat the reaction. I’m sad though because I think it was helping my skin initially. Hope I can find other affordable and gentle ingredients to help my hyperpigmentation.
How long does it take for your skin to heal from that allergy reaction? Mine is so bad and I don't know what to do 😢
Hii is there a way I can message you? Someone I know has had the same reaction as you trying to combat her hyperpigmentation. Have you found any alternatives?
it COMPLETELY fixed the bumps on my cheeks/chin/below eyebrows and has really helped my hyperpigmentation. I've been using the ordinary's niacinamide serum for months now, and within just the past few weeks, I CANNOT put it on my forehead it burns so bad and I had no idea why!!
Would it be out of the question to link to the best naicidimide serums/combo products for hyperpigmentation? 🙏🏻❣️ Thanks so much for sharing your abundant knowledge!
I got that sweater in grey- thanks for the idea! I love that it’s tunic length.
My skin turns beet red and feels sunburnt anytime I use a product with niacinamide, including Cerave. It's the only ingredient I can find in common in the products I've had trouble with. It's also really hard to find products that don't include it nowadays 😕
So calming to know I’m not the only one ! I have the exact problem
Did you end up finding a good product without Niacinamide in? Because I have the same problem and I’m not sure which cleanser and moisturiser to use
@@SquishySarah97 Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair has been my favorite for soothing my skin. I'm still looking for something cheaper that is super moisturizing, but keep coming back to the Tatcha.
was it from using their PM moisturising lotion by any chance?
@@mysterical- it was the AM Moisturizing Lotion.
I see this is from a year ago. I am using it and I am perfectly fine. It's actually cleared my 16 year old teens acne. So, I tried it, and it's been amazing. My face is looking way better than it ever has.
Hey Dr Dray, quick question which sunscreen is good for the body? I have dry ezcema prone skin
Hi Dr Dray, please do a review for Olay products. Specially for the Hungarian Water Essence line 😊
My face was getting red and irritated and I blamed the niacinamide. Turns out, my essence, serum and moisturizer all contain niacinamide! I have to alternate certain products now and it seems to be getting a tiny bit better.
Hi Dr dray, please can you review Oskia vitamin C serum. Happy Friday. Xx
You know dr dray isn't a vitamin c fan? Their producta are pricey and contain vitamin c derivatives which dr dray has said needs more research on. She seems to recommend the L-absorbic.
Thank you!💖
I discovered niacinamide thanks to Dr Dray and it has CLEARED my skin !!! Thank you for all the informative videos! (I use the ordinary one on damp skin and apply my moisturizer on top- keep it simple)
Is it possible that redness and bumps caused by niacinamide may be due to purging? If so, Would you advice to continue use and see whether it clears up after 4 weeks, as many sources suggest? or should it be discontinued altogether to prevent further damage? thanks dr. Dray!
Great video! I use CerVe night time moisturizer-love it! Got welts on my face from Curology with 4% Niacinamide in it. I believe they don't lower the Niacinamide amount in their formulations because they continued to send out new products with lower and lower amounts of Tretinoin in them-it didn't help at all. I also broke out from Maelove N10-which was a complete brain blip on my part as it is advertised as 'skin-calming' so I didn't read the ingredient list-ugh, 10% Niacinamide. My poor skin!
I broke out horribly from the Maelove Nia10 as well! Couldn’t use it at all. I switched to the CeraVe PM. No problems whatsoever. Sounds like we have similar skin types!
Do you have a video that includes anything about the benefits and/or negative effects of Tranexamic Acid?
I’m one of the very few who’s skin hates Niacinamide. I got extremely sensitive skin. That, Glycolic Acid and Witch Hazel is extremely irritating on my skin among many other things, and caused contact dermatitis. And it’s not purging like ones so often led to believe. My skin barrier is damaged and I’ve never had such a bad skin ever. Red, irritated and inflamed, with loads of red bumps and pimples, hives even, and I don’t have acne prone skin. It stings and burns. No matter what I put on. And I hate that it’s in almost every skincare product these days as my skin can’t take it regardless of where in the formula it sits as an ingredient. Wether it’s the Ordinary or any K-beauty products, I look a hot mess. Actually my skin has never been this bad after starting with Korean skincare. Then again I didn’t start using actives, cleansers nor sunscreen until recently. Previously I never had issues with sensitive or red skin. Beside the occasional pimple in my T-zone due to junk or dairy, I only had oily skin and blackheads to worry about. And the biggest irony of them all is that they are all products for sensitive, red and acne prone skin. Yet instead of fixing it, it made it way worse than it was to begin with. I’ve tried The Ordinary, and various k-beauty brands like Klairs, Cremorlab, Cosrx, Heimish, Isntree, Purito... still red, still red bumps, and inflamed/irritated. I give up. Going back to using minimal with products, and no actives. Along my hairline and on my cheeks I have pigmentation that almost looks like chemical burns. Never had this before. Like a mixture of a tan, and red bumps, but brown in color. So ugly. I hate my skin at the moment. Just wish I never gone crazy with all the Korean skincare products, and stuck to what I’ve been using for years which never broke me out. And skincare isn’t supposed to hurt, sting, burn or be uncomfortable in the 1st place. Regardless of the price, it’s not worth ruining your skin. I also try to use products with a short ingredients list without perfume/fragrance, alcohol etc. I’m also allergic to soy (tofu), and grass pollen.
Which have you found to be the best products to use without Niacinamide or other actives in?
I tried The Ordinary's niacinamide and found that if I had active acne then I would experience stinging and redness. Ultimately discontinued usage of it. I'm looking to try a Cerave product that has niacinamide formulated in it instead as I saw benefits in the areas of my face that didn't have active acne.
The Cerave PM with niacinamide also caused stinging on my face.
Please do a video on how glucosides are so commonly used becasue they have been considered gentle and mild for years but are now known to be allergens for some that create a contact dermatitis reaction.
Dr Dray, are there any ingredients in skincare that should be avoided when using niacinamide? I only get redness and a burning sensation if I use niacinamide serum (I use the one from the Ordinary) before applying 'Say Yes to Cucumber' moisturizer. If I use the two on different days, then I have no issues. I've never had issues combining the niacinamide serum with other moisturizers either. I guess niacinamide must come into reaction with one of the ingredients in "Yes to Cucumber", which is surprising cause it's a really gentle moisturizer with pretty clean ingredients.
My skin doesn't seem to like it too much and have a feeling breaks me out too.
I didn’t know this was a thing with Niacinamide. I’ve layered the ordinary niacinamide serum with cerave and haven’t had any redness or burning. It just has never bothered me.
can you review Truth Treatment retinol gel? I'm curious what your thought are on it.
Do you suggest a base sunscreen and the tinted sunscreen on top? if yes, could you suggest a good base mineral only sunscreen that don't clog pores and is humectant? thank you.
My facial skin is pretty tolerant.. but MAN Niacinamide made my skin itch like crazy. I truly forced myself to use it for several days, but it always became so unbearable I would just wash it off after 10 minutes.
I am unable to use products with niacinamide. I was using a skincare line that had niacinamide as an ingredient in their cleanser & moisturizer. Over a period of about 3 months, I started developing what I thought was acne, but it didn't behave like acne - red bumps that never developed into comedones, & were painful. I finally had to stop using the product, not knowing what was the cause. FF to today - I started a new skincare item & within a few hours I noticed red bumps - looked at the ingredients & there it was: niacinamide. Looked back at a different product I had used that caused the same red bumps - lo and behold: niaciniamide. Super frustrating because it seems like people don't believe that this intolerance can happen, & niacinamide is in so. many. skincare products.
Hi Dr. Dray! I was wondering, could any of these factors possibly cause redness with EUK134 as well? I've never had a problem until a few days ago it started causing me redness
Dr. Dray could you also do Radio Frequency benefits to skin, and other at home technologies we could use at home. Thanks 😊💗
Oh thank god I'm not alone. I've used both high potency niacinamide products (T.O's 10% + Zinc 1%), and smaller quantities of it in a moisturizer I tried for awhile. The Ordinary's Niacinamide literally felt burning, and the moisturizer made my skin stingy and itchy the whole day. I've been avoiding products with Niacinamide ever since.
did the sensation go away on its own?
