What is your favorite ingredient?
Niacinamide
@@JayFitNurse It is such a great multitasker!
Can i use niacinamide toner with retinol?? Plz reply
@@meherunnisa570 Yes, you can.
@@DoctorAnne Thank you so much...
Love that you straight up jump towards the subject and don’t waste half the video rambling about useless stuff like others. That alone made me a subscriber
Ha, I am always pressed for time, so I figure you guys are too!
I'd love to add this to my routine (looks a great way to combine a couple steps) :). Thanks so much for the review!
I still enjoy using it too.
Thanks for your review, it was specific and direct 🙌🏼
You are welcome.
Thank you for this review! Short and to the point :)
You are welcome.
Glad to see you are back!
Thank you. I can´t promise it will be as regular as it was before though, still working crazy hours.
Thank you so much for sharing this information, very helpful
You are welcome.
Thanks for this review i am going to buy it so this helps me a lot. Of course new subscriber here🤞🏼✌🏼
Let me know how it works for you!
Your voice is so soothing!!!!
Thank you. I get that a lot, maybe I should film meditation videos.
Hey! I just discovered your channel and I totally loved it!
May I ask you, can I use this product at the same time I am using the peeling solution by the ordinary or glycolic acid toner? I'm trying to vanish post-acne dark spots.
Thanks in advance❤️
Yes, you can (of course always depending on your individual skin). I have a whole playlist on hyperpigmentation if that is of interest to you.
Appreciate you making this video short, simple and informative. My GM toner arrived today so excited to use it. Do you think it's alright to put it over active pimples? Thanks ;)
Yes, I don’t think that is a problem.
Hi, thanks for the succinct review. I would like to know if using the toner and serum together would be overkill.
Thanks
Probably not (it is hard to overdo Niacinamide, most people tolerate it very well), but it probably won't offer better results either, so it is entirely up to you.
Another great review! Question if you don't mind. Which would you say is better for little patches of redness Niacinamide or Azelic acid? I have gotten a few small red blotches from what I think is from the retinol I am using and I only use it a few times a week at the moment. Thanks so much!
Are these more red dry patches or more postinflammatory erythema aka red marks left from spots?
I am so sorry I am not sure what the difference is between those two. I think its dry red patches but I do have more oily skin and can also get Seborrheic dermatitis at times on my face and I do have a few sebaceous filaments also.
No it is not post inflammatory erythema :)
Do you think this product would be good to use as the essence (I am currently using Skii FTE) before a Retinoid serum? Thank you Dr. Anne!
Yes, that is how I am using it at the moment and it works great.
Thanks so much for this review. Do you have a preference between The Ordinary and GM niacinamide serum for uncontrollably-oily, congested skin, with tiny bumps in certain areas, & hyperpigmentation from acne spots? Wondering which would be most beneficial for my routine based on the ingredient.
I have not tried the Good Molecules Niacinamide Serum myself, just this toner, and would in doubt always opt for a serum over a toner. If you say your skin is oily, the version from The Ordinary might help as it contains Zinc, which helps to regulate sebum production. Are you already using a retinoid or Salicylic Acid?
Doctor Anne Thank you! I’ve used a drugstore astringent that has salicylic acid for the past decade which helps get my face extra clean, after I wash with benzoyl peroxide but just learned that it’s not the best due to having alcohol & fragrance & I think it’s harsh bc it tingles/stings. So trying find a replacement. Is niacinanide safe to use with salicylic & benzoyl peroxide?
@@abolorej9550 I would not recommend pairing anything with benzoylperoxide in the same routine, it is very reactive and should best be used alone. Why not use one in the mornings and one at night?
Doctor Anne good suggestion, thank you! Is there a salicylic acid you recommend for daily use? I found Paula’s Choice 2% BHA liquid Exfoliant with mixed reviews.
I would not use any exfoliant daily, it is just not necessary, but I know people who use the PC Version daily without issues.
Thank you for this review! I just bought this toner and am excited to try it out! I also bought The Ordinary Niacinimide and Zinc serum, and was going to pair the two together but was wondering if that would be too much niacinimide? Is there any other hydrating nightly serums you recommend? Thanks!
If you react to too much Niacinamide is something I can't say. Usually it is tolerated very well, but for some even the 10% in the The Ordinary Serum can be too much. One or the other is probably the better option.
As for hydrating serums, there are a few I like, which one is best for you depends on your budget.
@@DoctorAnne hi..do you know the percentage of the niacinamide on this toner?
@@cherryvanilla8400 According to the company it is 3%
Cos de Baha is a great line. Their niacinimide toner is great, as are other products. I found this Korean brand by Penn Smith Skincare here on YT. She’s a master esthetician.
That is interesting, I never heard of that line before.
Amazing video! I have a question, will this product oxidize? I know vitamin c tends to turn brown after months of use.
This has a Vitamin C derivative, not L-Ascorbic Acid, which is what usually oxidizes.
Hello! Thank you so much for this. I have a question, can I use this Niacinamide brightening toner together with Good Molecules Discoloration correcting serum in my night time routine? Thanks
In theory yes, but every skin is different, so see how yours reacts first and proceed with caution.
Will this reduce oil production in my skin?
Is this product hydrating when applying it to the skin? Thanks for posting!
It adds hydration, but not enough to replace a hydrating serum in my opinion.
Just added one into my bag!
Dr may I know whether it can be used together with vitamin C in the morning? I plan to use it as a toner before my niacinimide serum at night too~
Yes, it can be used in the mornings before Vitamin C and also at night before Niacinamide although you should reevaluate if you need the double Niacinamide - there is a too much for anything.
Thank you for your videos, they've helped me a lot. I would really like to know if niacinamide is a good treatment for red/pink acne marks? :( I have a few of those and I would really like to know if niacinamide helps
I have a dedicated video about Niacinamide that you might want to watch, but in short: It will help a little, but they are hard to treat and take a long time to heal. I suffer from them too and they stay on my skin for ages!
@@DoctorAnneThank you for sharing your knowledge!!
@@gretchendelafuente2805 You are welcome.
If you have really red and flat acne marks I really recommend the ordinary alpha Arbutin +HA Serum. Works wonders
Hi doctor
What do you recommend for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation discolouration correcting serum or niacinamide brightening toner ?
I have a simple routine of cleanser moisturiser and sunscreen and using ahabha peeling solution twice a month. what should I add in my routine to get rid of the marks that I get after pimple?
I have a playlist on that topic here: th-cam.com/play/PLS4f9KQyE76t3WaE5G962U3javymSvENL.html You will probably need a combination of different ingredients to really see a difference.
Hi Doctor Anne! I have started using niacinamide serum and I am also interested in this product you reviewed now, can I use this niacinamide toner under niacinamide serum? can i still put moisturizer over it?
Yes and yes, but for some people that might be too much Niacinamide - usually the serum or the toner should be enough. I talk more about Niacinamide here: th-cam.com/video/t2ClhTlTew8/w-d-xo.html
Hi Doctor Anne! I have a question. Do you think this toner is suitable for combination to oily skin? Thank you
Yes.
Hi Doctor Anne! Thanks for this video, I just bought this toner and I’m very excited to use it as I have oily/acne prone skin and hyperpigmentatiom from acne. I have a question, I currently use The Ordinary Niacinamide serum in the morning, and the Hyaluronic acid serum at night. I was thinking on adding this toner at night before the HA serum, would that be fine? I also use Epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide) every two nights only at night. Sorry for the long question! 😅
Yes, it works perfectly at night before the HA serum.
Doctor Anne thank you so much!
@@Ana-di7pb You are welcome.
I have acne prone oily skin that is sensitive . I started using the ordinary niacinimide serum but started to break out . Idk if my skin is purging or just a reaction i was looking into this toner as i also have some dark spots i want to get rid of but im wondering is it ok for oily acne prone skin?
It worked for my skin, but so does the one from The Ordinary. Every skin is different.
Because this contains vitamin c can it be used as a daily toner? I use chemical exfoliations like BHA and AHA quite often. Can they be layered with one another?
It contains a Vitamin C derivative. not L-Ascorbic Acid, so it is not that irritating and can be used daily. You could also layer it with AHA/BHAs, but I am cautious about using them too often (read: more than twice a week), so you don’t really have to.
Hello, I’m currently using prescription Tretinoin at night for couple years now. Can I use good molecules toner before my Tretinoin? Thanks a lot
Yes.
Doc, u r very pretty I'm sending my love from Africa thanks for this review
Thank you so much.
My skin is a bit sensitive and dry. Do I need a exfoliant if I use this toner? Thanks so much :)
That depends on your skin - not every skin needs an exfoliant. The toner itself will not do any exfoliation though.
Thanks for your very useful review. Can I use this with peptides and retinoids? Some days I mix this toner with Buffet+copper and some others with Matryxil or Argireline + Retinoid (all by The Ordinary). Is this ok? Now I realize that The Ordinary's website says that Vitamin C derivatives shouldn't be paired with peptides or retinoids. Is this because of irritation or because these molecules cancel each other out?
I think it is because of the reactive nature of Ascorbic Acid, the „original“ Vitamin C. I personally have no issues using both if it is a derivative, otherwise i try and keep Vitamin C and strong retinoids separate due to the irritation potential. it is of curse the safest be to stick to manufacturers advice, as they know the formula and reactiveness.
Can I use this toner on my morning routine with my Timeless Vitamin C serum since this has already a Vitamin C derivative? Thank you.
Yes.
@@DoctorAnne Thank you
Good Molecules 10% niacinamide serum is part of my daily routine. It made a real difference in my older skin.
I haven´t tried that one, I am using the Discoloration Correcting and the Daily Brightening Serum from the line right now.
@@DoctorAnne Do you think it will work on age spots or melasma?
@@susanmcf1 It will help, yes. But melasma will probably need professional help and products with a higher concentration. And several different ingredients combined, it is a pain to treat.
@@DoctorAnne I really appreciate that. It is good to have more realistic expectations.
@@DoctorAnne Have melasma on my face and have try this product but not working on my melasma. Please advise me which is the best way to clear pigmentation and melasma?
Hi Dr Anne, can I use Cerave vitamin C and The Ordinary Arbutin Serum , after this toner in the morning ?
Yes, but that is a lot of stuff to put on in the mornings.
I use a benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin gel in the morning and tretinoin at night and I wanted to know if it was safe to use this product either in the morning or at night
I would recommend it at night before Tretinoin if both is possible. And yes, it is safe to pair with Tretinoin.
Hi is this ok to use during pregnancy? Great vid
Yes.
Can I use this with Differin Gel? Thinking of applying it after my cleanser, then The Ordinary Niacinamide, then Differin
Yes, you can. But if you use The Ordinarys Niacinamide, why would you need this one?
Can I incorporate this with my current AM routine?
Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser
TO Caffeine
TO buffet
Cerave PM Facial lotion
Sunscreen
I wasn't sure if TO caffeine and buffet are compatible with this toner because this toner has arbutin and vitamin C, I don't know if these products works well together or it cancel out the effect of the other. I heard that buffet does not work well with vitamin c.
Buffet + Copper is not recommended with Vitamin C, and TO in general advice against combining peptides with L-Ascorbic Acid. I personally wouldn‘t mind, but to me you are using a lot of products already - do you think your routine would benefit from adding this one as well?
I been using this toner recently I switched over to this toner and I recently have been getting alot of more white heads then usual since I started it , is this normal when you start something new ?
No, it isn't (with very few exceptions). It could be that you get the whiteheads from something else though and it is just a coincidence though, so maybe stop it for a bit and see how that affects your skin?
Hi! Can i use this before i use my local 8% niacinamide 2% zinc Serum then my ceramide moisturizer? Since it has an ascorbic acid on it, its like there will be a conflict between niacinamide serum and ascorbic acid. Please enlighten me. Thanks!
You can use it, as there is no conflict between ascorbic acid and niacinamide. That is a myth (I have a video on it).
Hi, i am using cosrx vitamin c 23% serum so if i have to use toner which one will be best ..i have combination to oily skin and whites head in nose area???? What other skin care like toner moisturizer and sunscreen will you suggest?
No ones needs to use a toner, and which skincare you need depends on many different factors. I would only insist that you use sunscreen, the rest is personal preference and depends on what you want to address.
Can I use this with Neogen Cranberry Foam cleanser and St Ives Moisturizer?
I don´t know these two products, but I don´t see why not.
Hi Doctor Anne! Can i use this with Adapalene gel?
Yes. Niacinamide and Adapalene go very well together.
The first time I ever used niacinamide, I broke out like crazy. It was the ordinary niacinamide + zinc serum. Ever since then, I stayed off products containing niacinamide. I kept hearing wonderful things about this ingredient but just couldn’t understand why it wasn’t compatible with my skin.
I visited a friend who happened to have the GM niacinamide brightening toner and then I told my self “it won’t hurt to try again” since this has no alcohol, essential oils and is supposed to be “hydrating”.
It was amazing on my skin. Don’t know if it’s also because the percentage is less in GM but trust me, it felt good and lovely on my skin. Didn’t react one bit.
I’ll be purchasing
Sometimes it is a mixture of different things that cause that reaction, but I am glad you found something that works for you.
Can i use it on my sensitive skin?
Niacinamide serum particularly from Ordinary, it does irritate most people. Just try it from Good molecules or inky list or any other brand, it’s not gonna irritate I am sure
Is it recommended for sensitive skin? And it is more for mature skin or it doesn’t matter?
It depends on what your skin is sensitive to, but in general yes, you can use it for sensitive skin. And it is not specifically for mature skin, it is for people that suffer from hyperpigmentation or want Niacinamide, no matter the age.
Hi can I use good molecules niacinamide brightening toner followed by good molecules discoloration correcting serum in the morning and night?Please guide.Thank you.
Yes, they work well together.
Hi! Can I use this if I’m using the ordinary niacinamide?
Yes.
I'm now using salicylic acid serum and 10%niacinamide serum ..... I have oily sensitive acne prone skin with a lot of scars... I also have blackheads problem..... Which tonar is best for my skin type....🙂..
Thanks in advance
First: You don‘t need a toner, it is not a necessary step, and especially if your skin is sensitive and acne prone, I would keep my routine as minimal as possible. As you already have Niacinamide and SA in your serum, there is nothing you „need“ in a toner. If you want to use one, maybe try one with Centella Asiatica - I have a video on the benefits of that extract that will be released this afternoon.
What is the difference between the niacinamide toner and the niacinamide serum from good molecules?
The concentrations and the formula - but I have not used the serum myself.
Can this be paired with good molecules discoloration correcting serum
Yes.
"If you have to pick between investing in toner or serum, always go for a serum." Great advice that I will definitely follow.. THANK YOU!! :)
Serum is my favorite step.
Same but i struggle finding low serum of cerum has niacinamide
I am using good molecule niaciamide tonner this right now and also Vichy 89 mineral ha serum which should I use first ha serum or this tonner ?
In the end it doesn't matter, but traditionally it is toner, then serum.
Do you recommend this for rosacea? I’ve been trying other products and my face is still extremely red and breaks out so much and burns😒
Have you seen my video on rosacea skincare? If not, you can find it here: th-cam.com/video/nbe5Q4xnRU0/w-d-xo.html
You need to get the basics right before experimenting with skincare that is a nice extra, and this product here definitely counts as "nice extra". So no, not until you have your skin in order.
Can i use before niacinamide 10% serum and before ascorbyl glucoside 12% or albutin? Plz reply
Yes, if you want to, you can use it before that.
Hi, can i use vitamin C from the ordinary after using this tonic ?? 😥🤨
Yes.
Would it be an overkill to pair this with their Discolouration Correcting Serum? Perhaps too much of Niacinamide?
Most people don't react to Niacinamide, so you could pair them, but the question would be if double the Niacinamide dose would give you any benefits - probably not.
Hi Doctor Anne, can I apply Paulas Choice 2% BHA exfoliant after i use Good molecules Niacinamide toner?
Yes.
Thank you for responding back.
@@jaqui5584 You are welcome.
Would you recommend this for people with rosacea?
I would always recommend people with Rosacea talk to their treating physician, as they have much better insights into the skin, but in general I think this product could be used.
Mam can I use this toner with good molecule discoloration correcting serum at morning and night routine.... because mine sensitive prone skin
They can be used together, yes. If that is good for your individual skin though is something i can't say.
Thanks for the nice review. I would like to ask if I can still use the ordinary niacinamide serum after applying this toner?
Yes, but some skin might react to too much Niacinamide - it isn‘t common and I personally don‘t have any issues, but if you pair several Niacinamide containing products and your skin reacts, that might be the reason.
@@DoctorAnne can you suggest me a toner for my the ordinary niacinamide serum pls i don't know what toner to use. Thanks
@@kimberlycadarit7150 The first thing is the question: Do you really need a toner at all? What are you trying to achieve? I talk about that in this video: th-cam.com/video/gdOFvf61ZXo/w-d-xo.html but in short, I don‘t think it is a necessary step in any routine. If you feel you want to use one, it depends where you are from and which brands you have access too.
@@DoctorAnne what toner would you suggest? I have oily skin with large pores and black heads:
@@kimberlycadarit7150 I would suggest treating skin issues mostly in your serum step, but if you want your toner to help too, maybe something like the pixi Clarity Tonic or another Salicylic Acid toner used a few times a week might work. Otherwise I like the hydrating ones like the Purito Centella Unscented one. Both have reviews on my channel.
When do we apply it? I received a sample but it doesn't say at what stage in a skin routine it should be applied. In the old days I would cleanse my skin and THEN apply a toner to remove all traces of the cleanser. And THEN begin my routine.
Either after cleansing as you describe it or in between layers for extra hydration.
@@DoctorAnne Thank you
can i use it after co2 fractional laser treatment?
You should discuss that with the person providing the treatment.
Can I use it with ordinary azelaic acid suspension?
Yes.
Can I use it during the day?
Yes.
Hello! Can it remove acne marks? Thanks in advance.
Acne marks as in hyperpigmentation or postinflammatory erythema are complex to treat and take a long time to vanish. I have a video series on them that I recommend you watch for further information, but in short: No, that on its own will not be enough, it can only support the process.
I'm new here. What's Doctor Anne's specialization?
I am a trained ICU doctor as well as anesthetist (worked on ICU for 15+years), but switched to Public Health four years ago where I focus on infectious and transmittable diseases.
Hi! I just wanted to ask if I could improve my skincare routine. These are the products I use : vitamin e oil , cera ve SA cleanser , la roche posay effaclar + spf 30 ,vitamin c + egf serum and this toner . It would really help if you could tell me what order I should use them in too! Thank you!!
It depends on how things work for you, but usually the routine is: Cleanse, tone, serum, SPF in the mornings or moisturizer/ oil at night. I can't say if this routine is ideal for you, that depends on your skin and issues.
@@DoctorAnne Thank you so much for replying! I have blemish prone skin and acne prone skin , oily to normal skin type .
@@juhisiddiqui3981 If you have real acne, you should consider seeing a professional. Also I am not sure if the Vitamin E oil is the right one or if a nice gel moisturizer wouldn't be better, but that depends on how your skin feels.
I hope I choose good because I have discoloration and hyperpigmentation me being afro American its kinda hard to find products that goes for my skin
This is very gentle, so you most likely won't get adverse effects, but if you have visible discoloration, you might want to see an experienced esthetician or dermatologist in person for some individual advice.
Hey any update ani have you tried it?
Does it really make a noticeable difference in your skin?
I use it as part of a balanced regime, which is always best when it comes to tackling skin issues, so it is hard to put the effects don to one singular product. Especially as changes in skin happen too slowly to easily judge. But yes, i feel like I see a difference when I use it along my other products.
Nice and informative video but... does it work? Do your sunspots lighten? Thanks!
I have a routine in place that is dedicated to lighten hyperpigmentation, so it is hard to pin point the effect down to one product. But I have added Arbutin and Tranexamic Acid to my already existing ingredient choice of Retinol, Vitamin C and Niacinamide and feel like it made a difference. Hyperpigmentation des take usually around six months to noticeably change though, so it is almost impossible to tell which individual product had the effect. In general I don´t think that one product will ever be enough to address this issue completely.
@@DoctorAnne thanks for the elaborate answer!
Always welcome.
@@DoctorAnne do you have a video on your hyperpigmentation routine?
@@teeshaluv3757 Yes, I uploaded it in December. You can find it in my playlist on hyperpigmentation.
Hey 👋 if i use this do I need any other niacinamide serum in my routine if i want to get full benefit of niacinamide? Your reply will really help me …
Another question can i use this with AHA toner? Thank you 😊
That depends on what you mean by “the full benefit”. The concentration here is surely lower than you get in your average serum, so if you aim for around 5%, yes, then you’d need a different serum.
And yes, you can use it with an AHA toner.
Thank you so much 😊 appreciate your help ❤️
@@nafisaislam9677 You are welcome.
Can I use it on a specific area of my face or do I have to spread it all over?
Both works.
Hi Doctor Anne! Do you know if I can use this toner with the Ordinary's Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% serum and valjean labs niacinamide and zinc serum. I was going to use the Ordinary's Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% serum in the morning and valjean labs niacinamide and zinc serum along with the good molecules niacinamide toner at night. I heard that vitamin C shouldn't be used with niacinamide so I didn't know if I could use these products for my skincare regimen. I'm trying to get rid of my dark spots/ melasma and acne.
It is a myth that Niacinamie can not be combined with Vitamin C, there is no harm in doing that.
@@DoctorAnne okay. Thank you!
Can I use it with buffet (ordinary)?
Yes.
Hey will these products from skin care distrupt our skin microbium eg cleanser as iam planning to have a skin care but just afraid to apply artificially evolved ingredients. Does our skin needs a skin care actually? Is it a helpless organ ?
Todays environmental factors are mess .
I am not entirely sure what you mean by artificially evolved ingredients. And no, the skin is not a helpless organ, it is our main line of defense against outside aggressors. If skin needs skincare is an almost philosophical question - it depends on what you want to achieve, how you want to age and your lifestyle. What skin does need at a minimum is protection against UV radiation aka sunscreen, as it can't defend itself good enough to stay healthy for the duration of our current lifespan.
Would you recommend using this product befoe hylaronic acid
There is no problem using it before Hyaluronic Acid.
Is it worth to get this toner and their niacinamide serum?
I have not tried the serum myself, but I think the toner is worth the money if you want to use a toner in your routine.
Hi! As a 15 year old brown girl, would you recommend this product? I want to get rid of hyperpigmentation so I rlly want to ease myself in. Do you know what percentage niacinamide it contains?
No, sadly I do not know the percentage of niacinamide it contains, but it is presumably lower than the one in a serum, so good for beginning. The most important thing in getting rid of hyperpigmentation though is wearing broad spectrum sunscreen daily, that is what I would start with.
I use a retinol at night.. can I use this toner along with retinol?
Yes, Niacinamide and Retinol actually compliment each other.
Can I use this before my vitamin C serum?
Yes.
Is it good for oily and sensitive skin though?
Yes for oily. If you have sensitive skin , that depends on what the reason for your sensitivity is. I don't thinki ti would be problematic, but if your skin is ractive, it is always good to patch test.
does it work on darkspot and acne scars
It will aid in fighting them, but hyperpigmentation and acne scars need a combination of ingredients and persistence.
Is it possible to have a sensitivity to Niacinamide? Possibly when used in high doses? I tired the ordinary Niacinamide serum 10% several times and my skin broke out in tiny little pimples. I'd love to try this, but I'm not sure if my skin can handle it.
It is rare, but of course possible. Maybe try another Niacinamide product to make sure it was the ingredient and not something else, but if your skin doesn’t agree with it, don’t use it.
I had the same exact reaction!! tiny little pimples with a slight burning sensation which is odd for me because my skin was never sensitive and could handle most products. i’m still going to try out this toner and i’ll let u kno!
@@nourasaid5583 Have you had this reaction before, maybe to a moisturizer? Niacinamide is in many products. And please report back if that continues to be an issue with that toner as well.
@@DoctorAnne thank you Dr. Anne! I've never had this reaction with other moisturizers containing niacinamide, also the percentage in the moisturizers are lower. I did try the toner and my face turned super red for a whole hour, maybe I'm just one of the rare few : /
@@nourasaid5583 keep us posted! Unfortunately the toner didnt agree with me either : /
Doc anne can i add that good molecules niacinamide brightening toner. In aveeno eczema therapy moiturising cream balm? And cleanser inkeylist oat cleanser balm? This three is good together?
Yes, they will work together, but in the end it depends on what you are looking for.
But inkeylist oat cleanser balm and good molecules niacinamide brightening toner with la roche posay cicaplast baume b5 still good together doc? Sorry just ask i really have no idea about skin routine.. I thinking if i used aveeno or la roche posay with inkeylist oat cleaser balm and toner good molecules niacinamide. I think that is for sensitive skin.
@@rodzdiaz7677 I have no objections, but you need to see how your individual skin reacts and maybe try one after the other instead of starting all of them at once.
Can I use this and tretinoin in the same routine?
Yes, they work very well together.
Is it ok to use niacinamide serum before applying tretinoin cream in the nighttime skincare?
There are no interactions between those 2 ingredients.
Francisco lodix12 thank you for the answer.
Absolutely. Niacinamide is actually beneficial when used in conjunction with Tretinoin.
Doctor Anne thank you Dr. Anne
Love your recommendation! My current night routine is pretty simple, i apply adapalene and after 30 mins, will apply my benzoyl peroxide + moisturiser. My scaring however is extremely stubborn.
Do you have any idea how can I incorporate the discoloration serum into my night routine?
You could use it in the mornings, that works and doesn´t interfere with your other products.
If u use this and the serum is it to much?
No, I don´t think it will be too much.
I bought the discoloration correcting serum, and it came with a small tube of niacinamide brightening serum. So my question is, when do i use the brightening serum? After i spot apply the discoloration serum? Or before.
ALSO, can I use all of this on top of cerave retinol resurfacing serum? Pls let me know doc. Thanks
The Niacinamide one can be paired with both, which one goes first doesn‘t really matter. Or you can space them out, as the Discoloration Correcting Serum already contains Niacinamide if I remember correctly.
@@DoctorAnne thank you for responding. So how do I know the stuff is working? And not irritating my skin? How long does it typically take to see results? And will the black marks dry up and peel off? First time user. Sorry i have a lot of questions lol
@@tsmacks9 I have a playlist on hyperpigmentation I recommend you watch to understand the basic principles, but in short: It takes a very long time to work, months, so be patient. The dark spots won‘t peel off, just gradually fade. If your skin is irritated, you will feel burning when applying serums that previously were not a problem. And: Topical skincare can only do so much, especially when it comes to hyperpigmentation.
@@DoctorAnne okay. Ill make sure to watch those vids. Its just that part of my skin dried up. Then peeled. And it looks slightly better. Small tingling but not a whole lot. Am i using to much??
@@tsmacks9 Hard to say. If it keeps happening, that might be the case. If it was just once it could be for many different reasons.
If the shipping wasn't so high I would have bought that toner long ago :/
It is expensive to get hold of outside the US, I agree.
Where are you from because here in Nairobi, Kenya...it's literally in every skin care shop.
Could I pair it with retinol?
There is never a definitive answer for eyeryone as that depends on your individual skins sensitivities, but as a rule of thumb yes, that should work.
Hey! I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to ask you if I could add the Ordinary niacinamide+zinc serum to my morning routine, with this good molecules vitc toner. Also, can I use the Ordinary niacinamide+zinc serum with the Paula's Choice BHA toner,thrice a week at night?
This is my current morning routine: Cerave Salicylic acid renewing cleanser+ good molecules vit c toner+ The bodyshop moisturiser+spf
This is my current night routine: Cerave salicylic acid renewing cleanser+ Paula's Choice BHA toner+Purito Centella Geen Level Buffet Serum+Cerave PM moisturiser
I am almost done with the Purito serum and there is no serum to use with the good molecules toner in the morning, as of now. SO I am thinking of adding The Ordinary niacinaminde+zinc serum into both my morning and night routines. I want to treat large pores and hyperpigmentation. So can I add this serum into both my morning and night routines? And sorry for the paragraph😅Hope you can take your time to read this and give me a reply. Thank you!
First of all: Yes, you can add the serum, but I am not sure it will be helpful to add a Niacinamide serum to a niacinamide toner (and potentially niacinamide in your moisturizer).
@@DoctorAnne Thank you so much for replying!! I was worried if the zinc in the Ordinary niacinamide+zinc serum would cause any problem if used with the Paula's Choice BHA toner, so I can use The ordinary niacinamide+zinc serum with the Paula's Choice toner if i want in my night routine too, right?
@@nazninmubaiya2903 The Zinc should not cause any problems, no.
@@DoctorAnne Hey doc, I had one more question to ask. Can I use the bodyshop vitc moisturiser with The Ordinary niacinamide serum only in my morning routine? There are a lot of controversies regarding combining the vit c and niacinamide together in the same routine. Just wanted to be sure before start using.
@@nazninmubaiya2903 Yes, you absolutely can. I talk about the controversy here: th-cam.com/video/dk-YYckpNdw/w-d-xo.html
Hey I am 17 years old and I have oily acne prone plus sensitive skin including pores so is it good for such type of skin ?
Yes, but I wouldn't expect drastic changes in the skin from using this.
@@DoctorAnne so it works as a skin brightening agent ?
@@dipishagurung3263 Niacinamide and Licorice Root Extract do help in brightening the skin, but the effect is very subtle.
Can i use this everyday in the morning?
Yes.
Ma'am does it brightening skin?
Brighten as it help with evening out the skintone as part of a proper routine? Yes. Brighten as in lighten the skin using only this? No.
Can it minimize pores?
Niacinamide can help reduce the appearance of pores.
I actually Am about to finish the bottle and ordered a second one
This bottle last for ages, very good value for money.
Hi doctor. Am 17 and have dry skin. I don't really use any skin care products. Is this product suitable for my skin??
Yes as in you could use it, but I am not sure it is the best to address dry skin. What is suitable is usually defined by what you want to achieve as result.
@@DoctorAnne Thank you so much for replying ❤️. Just one more question, is it suitable for me to use the Ordinary, arbutin 2%+ HA, I have pigmentation and darkspots.
@@lanaayishaali2510 Yes, it is probably suitable for your skin. if you want to target hyperpigmentation, have you watched my video playlist where I share tips for that? You can find it here if not: th-cam.com/play/PLS4f9KQyE76t3WaE5G962U3javymSvENL.html
