PSA for everyone with atopic skin: criminally underrated niacinamide product that I will never stop using (I have rosacea) is Bioderma Atoderm Gel Creme. Best gel creme on the market. Super gentle, super hydrating and is amazing under sunscreen. Also, the bottle is huge.
It says its for the body not face.
@@user-pt4xx4wu2ithat doesn’t mean you can’t use it on the face unless it contains fragrance then that “could” cause irritation.
Thank you! Will look for it.
It does say for face and body
Bioderma is the only cream that helps with atopic exema of my son. I tried many creams but this is the best and its fragrance free.
Thank you for the info Dr Dray! This content finally answered my question between the 2. I really love your videos and your honest reviews.
Love, love, love the explanation!! You are a fantastic teacher!!
Wow! A biology and chemistry lesson. Terrific information, Dr. Dray.
Thank you for this info! It’s so helpful
Niacinamide has helped me overall with small wrinkles but I will say Vitamin C definitely brightens my skin a bit more!
So I guess both being used is beneficial
but u said u r only 26 tho, how r u having wrinkles already?
Uhhh, I laugh and smile a lot 😂
@@leslychavez211 Yay for you.!! Keep smiling I didn't smile, so my wrinkles showed up late.
Lol 😂 just wait 20 years! Haha. Actually you’ll be fine if you are already using SPF etc.
@@leslychavez211
Melania Trump rarely smiles and has very few wrinkles ! But at what price so smile away!
Thank you for the content, which is always very informative and based on scientific evidence, fact that helps us a lot to make better decisions regarding the type of product that best meets our personal needs! Excellent job, Dr. Dray! Team niacinamide here!
Many thanks for a very informative video, presented in a way that respects the viewer's intelligence. Count me as a new subscriber!
A lot of information to take in & nice to know! Have a great week! ❤️
I've found niacinamide has improved the texture of my skin. Vitamin C has mostly improved my skin firmness and not much effect on dark spots. Thank you so much for mentioning vitamin C and skin shedding! I have that issue.
Which brand?
Which brand are you using for both the serums?
The vitamin C that caused skin flaking on me was Timeless 20%. I’ve not used it in 18 months. I get Niacinamide in EltaMD UV Clear sunscreen and Agency Future Formula.
I'm team both. I use walgreen's version/dupe of cerave vitamin C serum in the morning. I then use the real deal cerave AM moisturizer with SPF. I have tried the store brand dupes of this and with my older skin I like the thickness of the cerave one over the store brands. At night I use either the actual cerave (purple label jar) night moisturizer or the walgreens version. Both are great to help buffer my tretinoin. It was my struggles with using tretinoin that had me find this channel. I have shared your videos on KP with my sister and she has reported great results with the drug store products that you recommend. So thank you again!!!
I needed this info today, ty!
This is very interesting, a couple years ago I started using a very basic vitamin c serum (from garnier) just out of curiosity and it helped a great deal with acne, I thought it was some other ingredient in it but with the information in this video it makes sense. I continue using it for that purpose but I'm 37 so I'm glad it is providing some antioxidant properties as well. Thank you for all the info!
Thank you so much for this! I've been looking to try niacinamide but needed some more info. This helped so much.
Thank you for this great information!
Thank you a million for this video ❤
I am a vitamin C User. I do not care about niacinamides. I tried them several times in several different products and they break me out every time. Vitamin C is my holy grail. I use L-ascorbic acid serums and ever since I started using it, I have not experienced dry patches on my skin (which was absolutely normal for me before, especially in cold months).
Vitamin C all the way!
Thank you so much Dr. Dre. Now I can safely know which ingredients better for my skin and still is budget friendly.
Great information and Im very happy you do not "dumb it down" too much for us, your loving viewers 😊 Im taking notes.
I alternate between G&G C-Glow in the am and Stratia Rewind in the pm. Other products in my morning routine also have niacinamide, mostly for hyperpigmentation. I like to use peptides and retinal in my nighttime routine.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate the fact that you make it fun to learn about skincare and for not talking "down" to us. Many blessings!!!💖💖💖
Great info. Thank you Doctor!
Thanks for the clarification of overlap and differentiation of these two ingredients. As I approach 80, my skin noticeably yellowed, and I could not find and explanation for it. Good to know it's not something to worry about.
Yeh, my skin has yellowed too with age and I’m not happy about it. But it’s a natural process.
I'm team both! Prefer to hedge my bets by using Vitamin C in the am and niacinamide in the pm
Same! Together my skin is more even in 3 days! I'm shook!
@@katharine2435 ~ Hi, Which niacinamide product/s do you use? Cheers ^_^
Hi, Which niacinamide product/s do you use? Cheers ^_^
@Aurla-R2-D2 I use Nuturium Niacinamide and Boscia Vitamin C with green caviar. They both are reasonable and work great.
@@katharine2435 ~ Thanks lots for your helpful reply :) All best wishes ^_^
Very informative. You never disappoint to teach us the dos and don’ts. Thanks so much.
I am both teams ! I started using Cerave PM and AM in my late 20’s as I am entering in my 40’s I use Skin C - CF . I although still use the PM occasionally because it was my go to !
Dr Dray, do you know anything about the future of HAA299/ 'Bis-(Diethylaminohydroxybenzoyl Benzoyl) Piperazine in sunscreen formulations? This UVA+HEVL filter has been approved for a good while in the EU, but alas, no sunscreen formulations yet. Do you have any tea on this one? Cheers!
Thank you for the info Dr. Dray!! ❤❤
So informative! 💕♥️💕
I enjoy using both. Niacinamide at night and vitamin c in the morning. After trying several vitamin v products I finally found one that I love from Geek and Gorgeous. It is super affordable being less than one third what I had been paying for Vit c. Also they make a new batch every week so when yours reaches you it is only two to three weeks old so it stays fresh much longer than other brands. I also love the results that it’s giving me.
Hi, Which niacinamide product/s do you use? Cheers ^_^
thank you.
The "purple jar" is my dermatologist's favorite. I got a jar, and it's now my significant other's favorite too.
Thanks for all the good advice.
I feel like I'm in school again and I love it. You are such an amazing teacher. I love learning about the skin. And all that you have to offer and then applying what I need. Thank you so much for taking the time. You're just beautiful and adorable and I. Enjoy watching you pretty much almost every day when I can
I choose niacinamide over vitamin C. The main reason is because I use tretinoin, and it's drying and irritating. Niacinamide helps combat those issues. In conclusion, niacinamide is such a well rounded ingredient with a good track record to address some skin conditions and disease, such as acne and eczema. And how about vitamin C? In my opinion, this ingredient is not intended to address those conditions. So, in my mind, I always question "do I need this?". And my answer is Always NO. A lot of people complain about vitamin C causing Them to develop acne. So if you have acne, stay away from Vitamin C. But if you don't have problems with this vitamin, just go and put it on your face.
Niacin amide for me no contest and I use the ten percent serum plus a moisturiser containing niacinamide in the first four ingredients - my skin adores it and so do I
Great information! I have repeatedly tried Vit C in a variety of formulations and my skin just didn't like them, but I kept on trying because I thought it was so important for my skin! I have been using Ceravie PM moisturizer for years without issue, without realizing that niacinamide was providing some of the same benefits. Yay!
I swear by this PM moisturizer! Use it all the time day or night! Plus spf also. It’s amazing.
Dr. Dray, I appreciate all of your skincare advice on your channel! Because of you, I am able to order all of the products I need to get the ingredients and peptides I need to make my own skincare routine at drugstore prices! I am purchasing mostly Cera Ve products.
Doctor Andrea what a great video 😊❤. Loved the comparison between vitamin c and niacinamide and the slight differences they have in their way they act and work on the skin. Definitely I'm on team Niacinamide because there is no reason 😅 it just is perfect ingredient for me ❤ and the la roche posay lipikar Ap+m baume the original and the light version are so great both for face and body. The CeraVe is also one of my top favorites light in consistency,absorbs well and helps the skin stay hydrated 😊. Have a great day Doctor Andrea ❤.
Creamy Skincare has a C E Ferrulic serum too. They're a Brazilian brand that is getting into the US market now. I used their serum but now they have a B complex serum that just gets much better results for my skin. I think they're a bit on the pricier side in the US, but their products are definitely worth checking out
I had to stop my Vitamin C when I had perioral dermatitis. After that cleared up and I talked to my dermatologist about introducing skincare back she said she doesn’t recommend Vitamin C. She said none of the dermatologists in her office use it. So I stick to niacinimide now.
Love your makeup Dr Dray
I ditched all these products I only use spf and retinol basic inexpensive moisturiser and my skin has gotten better diet is key and sun protection
Great info! What are your thoughts on products that combine Vit C and retinol for effectiveness?
Like the comparison! I use PC 10% niacinamide. I also use Cerave PM moisturizer. Plus I use other products with niacinamide. Wondering if just using products with niacinamide is enough and maybe I don’t need a separate topical
I am so happy to hear about vitamin c. I know by skin being so sensitive, the vitamin c in that format will not be for me . I will stick to my gentle cleanser, w/Squalane & SPF 50 broad spectrum sunscreen moisturizer, and retinol alongside of my hyaluronic acid serum. These things have been good and work for me.
Timeless brand vitamin c is a dupe for skin ceuticals and is less expensive. Has the same ingredients. I use both vitamin c and niacinamide.
I always had niacinamide on my routine. Last year I started using an vitamin c serum before my niacinamide serum. And it helped a lot with hyperpigmentation and my face glow. I'm really enjoying it...❤
I am completely new (at 66 yrs old!) to all of this and am still quite confused about how many basic products I need. I have started using a Vitamin C serum but after this video, I will switch to Niacinamide once I am done. Thank you so much for explaining the difference.
Happy Monday Dr Dray….see you tomorrow x💙🤩
Dr you have no idea how many people you have saved you are an amazing human being ❤️
Thank you so much….great info 😊
I have been SO impressed with the Tree of Life vitamin C serum. It’s the first thing that has really lightened my age spots!
Personally I use both vitamin C (Skinceuticals) in the am and CerVa PM at night love em both.
oh only 150 for that vit c
Wow! This is an excellent video! Dr Dray does a fantastic job of explaining these formulations! Thank you, Dr Dray for caring about the public and providing accurate information. By the way, you are looking fabulous!
Hello Dr. Dray Happy Monday❤
Greetings Maricel Gundayao hope u r well n Happy Monday😀👍💜….
Much appreciation for the vast knowledge that you share with your viewers! Every video teaches me something new! Now using Niacinamide to combat too many years of no sunscreen use!
Thank you! Once again you saved me money on experimenting with a new product. Niacinamide stays in the routine!
This is the exact video I needed. Thanks, Dr. Dray!
For me, I find that with the timeless co-enzyme Q10 serum I see results. I’ve been using vitamin C serum of the same company for quite some time few months I guess it’s working.
I've used the CeraVe knock-off from CVS as a daily moisturizer and I have no complaints, but it doesn't state the percentage of niacinamide in it, or how much of it is in there. For that, I've been using the Sephora brand's "NiaZin" toner ($14), which contains 5% niacinamide plus zinc (listed as the second and third ingredients, after water). I'm not a big fan of toners, and would like a more serum-like product, but for the price, it's definitely a good purchase, in my opinion. Another thing about the liquid consistency is that I feel most of it gets wasted on a cotton pad, so I've been sort of "splashing" it on my face while it's still a bit damp after cleansing, and it's been lasting me a while. Just my two cents. 🙂
You're literally a national and global treasure
These major channels are always pushing CeraVe. The moisturizer I saw from them contains alcohol, which is something many should avoid. Why is this 'national and global treasure' pushing such a product?
omg like literally? omg
I use both, niacinamide in my moisturizer and a vitamin C serum. Thank you Dr. Dray for making this video 😘
You're the best Dr Dray. I'm team niacinimide. Vitamin C seems to be irritating to my skin so I avoid it.
I'm team both. I started using Dr. Karams trifecta (which includes a bottle of vitamin C) in the morning. Then I use Niaminicide in the evening. Definitely planning on purchasing the Cerave night cream. Thanks as always for your awesome videos. As someone who works in the medical field, I also appreciate how you talk about the mechanism of how things work! Cheers.
How do you like the KaramMD line? It’s pricey!
Happy Monday Dr.Dray!! Hope Your Day is Going Wonderful!! Thank You Always, and Have an Awesome Week!💞
Greetings Jackie Marsh hope u r well n Happy Monday😀👍💜….
Happy Monday to you Jackie!
@@whitneybrown4067🙏🕊💜💜💜💜💜🕊🙏
@user-ns6tf3ly6x Thank You So Much!! Happy Monday to You Too!! I Hope You're Having a Fantastic Day!!🌷
Hi Jackie! Happy Monday!! I hope your day was fantastic!! It was sunny and warm here today. Almost felt like Spring and the frogs were singing away tonight. I know you said your area might get some bad storms and possibly tornadoes tomorrow. I'm praying that doesn't happen and that you stay safe. I had a busy day and I'm sure ready to have tea with my dear, sweet friend. Let's call the kitties for their cuddles, put our feet up and relax together. And let's have a naughty treat too!! How does that sound, my friend? I hope you have a wonderful evening and have sweet dreams. Peace, joy and many blessings to you always. ❤🙏❤🕊❤☕🐈☕🐈❤💐
I've been using both but not on the same days. My skin at 73, I think looks like it's benefiting from my care. But with this information I'm going to start using just niacinamide, as the Vit. C can be a little harsh on my skin. I also use either CeraVe or the Elf night cream or the one with SPF during the day. Great information. Thank you.
I’ve just started using Ordinary 10% Niaimenicide. It burned and turned my face red. Maybe I can dilute it with moisturizer. Just my experience.
Thank you for creating this video! It is very informative. I am on team niacinamide.
Speaking of antioxidants, I recall a few years ago that you were questioning if antioxidants in sunscreens got into the skin since sunscreens form a film (I am not sure if I worded that exactly correctly.). Do you have any more thoughts on whether antioxidants in sunscreen are effective?
I use both. 👍🏾
Skinceuticals CE ferulic in the A.M. after washing, following with sunblock and Trianon in the P.M. has changed my skin for the better. I love both these products.
When I use anything with niacinamide, my skin looks like I have a sunburn. No problem with Timeless 10% Vitamin C. My skin is definitely firmer and brighter.
Same. My skin loved niacinamide until I started using Tretinoin over a yr ago. Even a 2%.
Love love love my niacinamide. I use the olay regenerist FF w niacinamide it has done wonders for my skin even made my rocacea calm down🎉🎉
Thank you for information 🙂
Love from Germany
How are you, Dr Dray? Have a good day.
I am team both too, I currently live in Japan and I use Melano CC Premium Vitamin in C every am and I use a Nameraka Honpo (which you made review a couple of years ago) they recently release this version with isoflavones and niacinamida night cream. I have lupus and have sensitive skin and melasma and I used to have a lot of pigmentation and now my skin is better than ever... but also I take care a lof of the sun so not sure if it was those both products or UV (Currently using beauty of joseon, hada labo or klairs uv) .
Did you by a chance tried already Melano CC products or Niacinamide version from Nameraka Honpo?
Good morning Dr Dray ❤
happy monday!
I learn so much from you! I was wondering if vitamin c or niacinamide can be used with nano needling? What is your opinion
Love love love Paula’s Choice 20%! Not in love with any Vitamin C I’ve tried. I’ve tried Skinceuticals, Vichy and Paula’s Choice. Paula’s Choice was not irritating like the other two…great video as always!
you mean 25% or 15%, I haven't heard of a 20% PC?
I mean Dr. Dray thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Niacinamide all the way for me. Good Vit C products are just too pricey to use long term. Thank you for always delivering such thorough, informative, scientific material. Yer a dermo Queen!
I have been making my own vit C serum for years. Work the same from store bought and much cheaper. UA-cam has many videos on this.
I really appreciate the detailed description of how these two ingredients work. I took my sensitive skin quite a while to get used to anything that contained niacinamide but now my skin does well with it. I've never been able to use anything with vitamin c. Thanks, as always, for all that you do. You're awesome, Dr Dray! Happy Monday!! I hope you have a blessed evening. 💙
🙏❤️🐈🐈🍰🫖☕️☕️❤️🙏
I bought the Cereve PM. it's ok but not rich enough. I will try the one in the purple jar.
I love NAG + Niacinamide combo
Thank you dear for sharing
Team Niacinamide here! Thanks Dr. Dray 🙏
What do you think about Astaxanthin serum a powerful antioxidant? Will you like to do a review on the product serum ?
I'm team Dr. Dray!
Q10 cream seems to brighten and calm my skin. Topical Vitamin C (L-AA) and Niacinamide are big irritants for my rosacea skin.
Dr. Dray, your skin is beautiful. Do you credit this to your good genes and sunblocks or anything else?
Wow! Now that's a deep dive into skin tx. I am going to have to watch at least twice more to fully understand. Thanks Dr Dray . . ps - the sky is calling . . let's exit aircraft!
In my own experience niacinamide is by far, better than anything else for my daily routine. My skin looks really renewed every time I use it, especially before to sleep. Vitamin C & retinol or tretinoin works excellent too but I can't use them daily.
Hi Dr. Dray, can you review Dr. Brenner’s Vitamin C serum in comparison the Skinseuticals brand please 🙏🏼
As a chemist myself, this is my favorite skincare actives ingredients in order:
1. Vit. C, retinols, niacinamide in terms of how well my skin reacts.
2. Niacinamide, Vit. C, retinols in terms of how comfortable they are formulated well into skincare products.
I like your new mic...the sound quality is good clipped on your collar. great video.
It is the same mic, just with an attachment, but thanks!
Well the attachment makes the difference in that case😅@@DrDrayzday
If copper is necessary for an enzyme that makes pigment, does that mean it would actually be counterproductive to use a serum with copper peptides if you struggle with dark spots (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation)? 😨
Because I‘ve been doing that… 😅 And I really love this serum, but I‘d like to treat the hyperpigmentation, not make it worse!
I love niacinamide fot my acne prone skin. It's done wonders for my skin! Vitamin c tends to irritate my skin too much
I know she's not necessarily a fan, but some folks with acne like the SAP form of vit c.
As a consumer this really helps me understand mechanisms better and then choose between active ingredients I might need or want. Left on my own I could only refer to slogans like: "Do the ABC´s of skin care." Thanks so much again!🌺
Thank you, you saved me some money here
Thank you for all the info! I personally use both, the vitamin C serum I only use it for a few month now. My morning skincare routine is: Vitamin C serum (from Advanced Clinicals), Pycnogenol 5% (The Ordinary - I love it), Hyaluronic acid 2%+B5 (The Ordinary) and Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch 50 SPF sunscreen. My evening routine: Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (The Ordinary), Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (The Ordinary), sometimes I add Skin Envy oil (Vitality extract) or Cetaphil moisturizer. For cleaning my face I use Oxy acne cleanser with prebiotics and Acure Brightening Facial Scrub (ocasionally). 😁 Can you give me, please, your opinion about my skincare routine? Also can you do an insight about Pycnogenol? Thank you!🤗
You are the best thank you👍🥰
In Japan, the use if vitamin C serum is used to lighten skin (dark circles under eyes, blotchy skin or age spots). Lemon juice is also often used to lighten dark spots (likely due to ascorbic acid in lemon juice).
Niacinamide was the one product apart from tretinoin that I can see a change in my skin.
Team niacinamide!
