@@CathyonSkincare aoa mam plz can u tell me one bottle of niaciamide can be used for how many months??
Who else just found her?? Hyram and Cathy need to do a collab!
Would love that! ❤️
I just found her too!
@@Chinezerem same!
Yasssss❤❤❤
Me hahaha
"Look where it's actually happening on the face. If it's on the location where you usually break out, you're purging, but if it's on a new place where you usually don't break out, it's a break out".
*Me having acne on the whole face" : yes.
😂
Dude same I’m always like “man ion even know what happening” 😭😭😭
If you have acne, it’s probably better to avoid products with acids that will treat acne scarring until your acne has cleared up first
Wut? But then how to treat it? :/
@@aishafranki ohhh That explains why.. I breakout more and it freakin hurts...
me: *freaking out because I purged after using the ordinary niacinamide*
FBI agent that's watching me: I gochu *puts this video on my recommended*
Ikr my FBI agent is so helpful🥺
Literally me right now. Thx FBI agent 🙏🏻
Sameee. I was so confused
How long did your purging last
@@bababooey9927 mine lasted about 2-3 weeks
yall dont know how happy i was when she explained what purging looks like (which happened to my skin exactly the way she said) because i bust bought it and i was so sad when i started to "purge" just after a day. Ill keep using it!!
so update: it starts working now and the purging slowly stopps :) DONT GIVE UP JUST AFTER A FEW DAYS !
Where did u buy it from? Because I wanna try it since I have some acne scars and I wanna know where I can buy it!
Are u still using it?
@@Michelle-tj2gk Did you use it daily?
@@Michelle-tj2gk how often do you use it? Daily or few times a week?
I plan to fill an entire bathtub full of the stuff. I will submerge myself completely into the serum so I will exponentially improve my skin until I am a perfect flawless being
The Greedy Worm hahahahaha i literally laughed out loud!
Add azalaic acid for scars
I JUST ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED ON UR PROFILE AND WTF IS UR BANNERRRR
Just pour some on the whole world at this point 😂😂
@@kassandracamille289 I wish I knew myself lol
Cathy: "Add products into your routine slowly"
Me: Adds 2 products from the ordinary and a cerave moisturizer within the span of a week"
How'd that go?
@@jemimaannbiju5351 it’s alright lol I purged a bit but it’s clearing up
Same 😂
@@jemimaannbiju5351 how often did you use the niacinamide in a day? When did you purge like for how long(days), and how much days did it take to clear up, mind me kindly asking?(:
Omg finally someone is using the cerave moisturizer while trying this lol I don’t feel alone 😅
mini dermatologist in practice- use it on one dark spot that’s singled out and try not to everywhere else. that way it will limit the purging, get the skin used to it, then slowly introduce 1-2 times a week or for sensitive skin 2 times a month. its a long process, and as someone who hates waiting i get it, but i also dont want more acne which im sure no one wants. be patient!! :)
side note, for clearing skin, dont use niacinamide for getting rid of pimples, use a higher concentration of benzoyl peroxide (clears faster, NOT FOR DRY SKIN OR SENSITIVE SKIN!!) or salicylic acid (slower result, better for dryer skin or sensitive skin.)
Thankyou
@@vampyvamp145 what would you recommend for someone who has DEEP pores and dark circles?
Can you please tell me how to dilute the 10% niacinamide serum
lyy
Don't forget that niacidimine can also be in your cleanser and moisturizer. If you're noticing irritation and or purging. Just put a couple drops of the serum in your moisturizer
REALLY
@@janafaramawy771 yes !!! i put like 2 drops in with my moisturizer and it works perfectly like that since i have pretty sensitive skin
@@devillapatel i started using it a week back, i gt tiny pimple like things in some areas in my cheek. Nw im adding two drops with cetaphil moisturizer and using it only at night.. will it be okay? Or shall i stop using it.. plz help me
i do the same! my day moisturizer has niacinimide in it, so i skip the serum. but for my pm routine, my nightly moisturizer doesn't have niacinimide. so what i do is add 1-2 drops of the serum into my moisturizer and no irritation! i can still get the benefits of niacinimide without breaking out :)
Sounds like soooooo much bullshit. The best solution to horrible skin is applying a mixture of 1part horse manure, 1 part jello &, 2 parts racoon urine. This will give you the most beautiful glowing skin. Please try amd let me know your experience
niacinamide made my skin really red, itchy and gave me small dry pimples, mostly on the area around my mouth. everybody kept praising TO's niacinamide serum but it made the issues i already had with my skin even worse. gotta remember just because it works for everyone else, doesn't mean its good for you
What’s your skin type?
Have you tried any other niacinamide serums? Otherwise I really wouldn’t write off niacinamide as a whole. Lots of people get a bad reaction to the TO one, there must just be something that’s off about that formula. I got allergic reactions every time I used it several days consecutively. I switched to the Inkey List one, I’ve used it for a few weeks now and I’m not having any issue with it. If anything it really does calm down my skin. It’s a bit more subtle in the way of reducing fine lines but then what’s the point of having less lines but angry rash all over
@@bubbly6226 i have dry sensitive skin
@@Mimi-ne5dt the TO niacinamide actually more suitable for those who have oily to combination skin since it has zinc that can help reduce oil production. Maybe you should try the inkey list and other niacinamide since it's more hydrating so i think it would be great on your dry sensitive skin. However it's just my opinion and you dont have to do the exact thing, since everyone skin is different
@@lishaveil thank you :)
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE I HAD NO IDEA IT JUST DID THIS TO PEOPLE WOW ILL CONTINUE TO USE IT THEN!
Yessss! I started in May and by June I had a terrible acne like never in my life, but now is completely back to normal. I have some discoloration from the scaring but The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin is clearing it out. I don't regret it
I gave up using it twice but that also meant I gave it a chance twice. The 2nd time I used it on my lotion and it seemed ok. No break outs. So I started getting ambition and using it twice a day and even applying it straight on my face. Started breaking out so I stopped. Now I'm on my third try and I'm applying a tiny tiny drop (half a drop) on my whole entire face and no breakouts. My pores on my nose started to get smaller. Little goes a long way.
@@winniechen4311 Yes! People always expect some magical 2 days skin miracle from a tiny bottle. It's all about being patiently aware of how your skin reacts overtime and be consistent.
@@manuelaespana4986 I'm also guilty of being impatient sometimes. But I do find that diet and skin condition goes hand in hand. Cutting out carbs really helped my skin from hormonal break outs.
I am braking out using ordinary zinc one but in the normal spots which is forehead and hair line for me but then little bumps on my cheeks which I have never gotten so I have no idea if I should keep using it or not
SHE SHE JUST SAID 6 WEEKS
I love how you’re smiling Throughout the videoooo, felt soo positive watching your content
A tip: when using a new active product, try to gradually use it daily. Example: twice a week for 2 weeeks and then use more often
1 2 3 4 5 6 yes!! Patch test and gradual introduction 💯
will this prolong the purging period?
@@miawilliams2537 maybe but i found that the peak of my purging isn’t as worse when i gradually introduce something. for me it’s either my acne gets way worse over a short period of time or somewhat worse over a long period of time. I’ve found the former leaves me with more of those stubborn post-acne marks
hope i knew this before :(
Does it makes ur facr itchy along with purging ?
holy, you’re underrated-
thank you soo much for being an early supporter! means a lot 🥺😘
1.7million = views underrated
@@kyubey475 this video was posted 2 years back as well as the comment while your comment is from around a month back therefore there was a difference in the views sooo they probably meant it from back than 🌝
we stan an informed queen, look at those ncbi references. i love it. thanks for the enlightening (?) video!! 💗
Omg.. I’m just gonna be starting my skincare journey so i was doing the research and by far YOU and HYRAM helped me the most to understand about all these AHAs BHAs and niacinamideee.. thank you for this video. This is very helpful💕
My skin was purging for two to three weeks and after that it was flawless p, apart from scars of course. I’m glad I started it in quarantaine...
manaar منار glad it’s working for you now!
omg i'm glad for it 😍 i hope it work to me as well
@@vipbae3560 i hope so too!!
hi!were you using niacinamide the ordinary? can u please explain the process?I'm using niacinamide the ordinary and purging rn, I feel so stressed and sad:(
@@nargizhajiyeva3111 Hello! I’ve stopped using it after I was done with the bottle because I’ve gotten the results I wanted ! I also purged and I recommend buying, if you can just a sample, from the glamglow mudmask! A mudmask, especially this one, will help extract the oils from the now visible clogged pores! Other than that, please don’t touch it! Use the masks and apply a nice moisturizer. If your skin feels dry I recommend just soothing it with aloe vera (patch test this please because this burned all of a sudden I don’t know why), honey or a soothing mask. I hope this helped, you can ask away if you want to :)
I just started using this product, and i have a ton of pimples caused from it. Thanks to this video, I realized im just purging
AudiCat glad to hear it was helpful!!! 😘🥺
true..I've been purging for 2 weeks now and im really concern about it because mostly they are red, big and painful.. before I suspected it was cerave foaming cleanser, but I stopped it for 1 week but i still continue the the ordinary, but the more I have pimples, so I think its not only the cerave, but both..because both have niacinamide..but because of this video, now it's clear to me..so I will continue the products to see the clear effect...
How’s it lookin now?
@@thetruthh101 I'm still purging a little, but its only been two weeks. its not as bad as the first week though
AudiCat Sweet. So you think you’ll continue using it?
This was the most informative video ive seen about it. Thank you!!! ❤️
This is such an important video as so many people worry about purging and automatically think it’s a negative thing, and it’s actually a positive thing! Explanation was on point, your videos will be helping so many I’m sure of it! Do you have experience from a clinical standpoint too? Can’t wait for more content ☺️
I used it and never broke out or purged. In just a week my skin cleared and face was smooth. I suffer from cystic acne and rosacea. Even my redness went down. Looove it
Hey did you use that in morning and evening?
What’s your skin type
Can i know what is your skin type? When did you used? How ?
FidanX. Please reply to his question plsss
Same here. And i have combination skin( more towards oily)
my skin purges but then after the purging, my skin is beautiful!
how longs the purges goes?
how long?
how long the purges process?
how long does purging last? it’s been 3 weeks for me and i’m losing hope of my skin every looking good! it looked better beofre i used this
Purging can last you up to 6 weeks... or sometimes even months! Really depends on the person honestly... I’ve read hella comments saying the same shit... so just tuff it out I guess😅
I just started my skincare journey with The Ordinary and this is the exact thing I was looking to add next! Thanks for such an informative video; I have a much better understanding of what it does & feel more confident to add it in my routine.
She's going places. Keep making these types of informative and quality contents. 💯
I love your voice so much, it's so soothing and relaxing. Also, thank you for this video, it helped so much! I didn't even know purging was a thing! You're the best!!
Thank you so much for this ❤️ I had no idea that purging could take that long to clear up, I feel much less stressed about my skins reaction to my new TO routine now 😌🙏🏻
Amy Lye glad it was helpful! Always patch test with new products if you’re not sure how your skin will react!
Cathy: These products/ingredients can cause purging and breakouts
Me after buying everything that can cause it: 👁👄👁
Thank you for this video! I've been looking for articles on Niacinamide purging in French for months without finding any results. You have enlightened me a lot about this product and I will continue to use it until I see the results ☺️
You're so welcome!
My skin is glowing with this stuff. Literally niacidimide is my greatest skincare friend.... ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
same here!!
Right!! It’s a must have in my life..I love it!
I’m jealous after like weeks of good skin my skin went back to breakouts and itchy acne😭
same here!
That's a shame, this is all I use and moisturiser and simple cleanser use to have more of a regime but thought I'm gonna keep it short and sweet.... ☺️☺️
Loved this video, you explain everything so well and in so much detail! Also I appreciate the detailed description box 😊
Ah thank you thank you! Hope it was helpful! 😍🥺
Definitely have seen this happen and it was totally worth it. Been using it since January. I won’t ever go without this😭👏🏽
So I will be adding this onto my serum routine for AM & PM. Luckily I eased into niacinamide, Two of my products that are used during my night time routine has niacinamide: Missha Time Revolution Essence & Missha Time Revolution Nighttime Ampoule. I’ve had purging happen but not as extreme. I’ve been very fortunate so far. I’ve just turned 55, and noticed that my SK-II routine seems to fall slightly short. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Cathy!
gosh you are just so sympathetic to watch & listen to 🥰 Also GORGEOUS of course and very well-spoken
You really explained every single detail about it, i totally love it!!!!!
Marian Guzman thanks so much for writing that!!! It literally makes my day 🥰🥺
Love Niacinamide ❤
I didn't know skin purging could happen until someone told me about it who was helping me with hormonal acne (it was all on my jawline area). I'm in my 40s. I was putting so much crap on my face and it's like the breakouts were getting worse (wearing masks wasn't helping much either) and someone informed me about purging and how much I was stressing out my skin because I was putting so much shit on it. So I stuck with niacinamide along with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid and the purging took a while to clear up to be 100% honest with you but I had to be patient with what my skin was going through and be gentle with it and it has gotten so much better 🙏.. so I'm 1000% faithful to niacinamide. Also I use natural cucumber soap on my face to wash. Nothing else. No toner or lotions afterwards.. I go traight to the serums. Seems to be working on calming down all that anger that was happening.
Thank you so much for this video! I was so worried I made a bad decision with this purchase but I’m going to keep using it for the next 4 weeks
This is totally unrealated but does anyone else’s ordinary skincare bottle lids not go on properly like its wonky
Lily Burns lol, what? 😝
Lily Burns YES
Yes mine came in sideways almost
Yep, every damn time
Lily Burns YES
OMG thank you for making a video on this! I think i have experienced breakouts from this and now I know my skin might not play nice with niacimide!!!
Ernest Pang so happy to hear it was useful for you! I know how much it sucks getting breakouts from new products you’re excited about 😘😅
i love&appreciate how straightforward your video was and how you include the video break down time stamps in your description! thank you :-)
Love using this one in conjoncture with an ocassional BHA peel. Has done absolute wonders for my skin over a pretty short time. ❤️Though it takes some willpower not to overdo the peels.
Edit: also for context, I am experiencing some purging, but I feel like I've gotten over the worst of it and my skins better off than where it started. Even if there's still a distance left to go.
that clean cut execution, the voice, the research and your hairr!!
this content is hydrating my soul rn 😭 my first video of you and i just subbed!!
Sammmeee!!🤭😄
I swear I thought you were a big channel! I’m shocked 😱 Thank you for educating me!
Also, your skin looks so radiant!
I FINALLY FOUND AN INFORMATIVE VIDEO, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
By chance I came across your content (I was looking at the King of Hyram) and just what I needed. I was frustrated with a serum with the same percentage of Niacinamide from another brand; until thanks to your explanation I used it with a cream that also has Niacinamide + use it day and night quickly without doing it gradually.
Can’t tell you how much this helped me clear out my doubts
I thought i was breaking out but im just purging thanks ❤️
You just popped up randomly in my feed at the time when I was starting to hate my stupid face with pimples and now you saved my self esteem haha. I've been using the niacinamide for two weeks now so I'm sticking with it (now that I understand I'm purging) and hoping for the great results other people are talking about. Thanks for the info!
Hey, how’s it going now? Are you still using it
I used this product for about 2-3 months and during those times I had the best skin I have ever had. I did not breakout at all. My face was significantly less oily and even my mother noticed that I was glowing! Tho after I finished my first bottle that's when I started to breakout. I'm currently using their mandelic acid because I was so impressed with niacinamide but I will definitely order again after this one. The Ordinary is amazing!
Dennic Von Lorenzo sounds like it’s really working out for you! 👍
Girl, you are GLOWING.
omg this is so helpful! I was so sad that this was making me breakout but I feel better about it now xx
Thank you for this video!
I have very sensitive skin, and this week I literally swapped my whole routine. I used the Cerave SA wash on monday and the TO lactic acid 10% serum, on tuesday I washed my face in the morning and night with the SA wash and used the Inkey list q10 serum and niacinamide at night, my skin began feeling quite irritated, that´s why today I only used my micellar water gel to wash my skin and applied a generous ammount of niacinamide. Literally 15 minutes afterwards I stardet feeling my skin kind of weird, so I washed everything off and only moisturized. My skin now feels and looks irritated, so I´ve decided to stop using every new product for a week and then reintroduce everything slowly, step by step. So kids, do your homework and study everything before puting on your skin, introduce products slowly so you don´t have to pass through something like this.
I did the same combo Cerave SA and I used the TO Lactic acid 10% serum and my skin felt so irritated the next day and it felt tight. I don’t know if I should keep using the lactic acid serum! Pls help I just bought this and I want to keep using it :(
Use moisturizer after you put all the products u use to ur face
I had no idea that this product could cause purging! I’ve been using it for about a month and I thought it wasn’t working but I think it was just purging. I feel like my skin is just now starting to clear up so hopefully it lasts! Thank you for this video. So informative
Thank you for letting me know ! I have just started using niacinamide and i realised I have had more breakouts but now I know why ♡
i've added that exact serum into my skincare (and vitamin c for daytime) and i got a few bad pimples that really depressed me because reddit was saying it can't be either of those.. as someone who had bad acne in the past and cleared it up fully those few pimples gave me bad ptsd but this video calmed me down a lot thank you so much!!
my skin is already looking a lot more calm than a few days ago and i think i'll get through it soon but i really needed the reassurance i'm happy this got to my recommended!
hey please don't use vitamin b3 and vitamin c together as it cancels out each other
@@54nch1t thank you don’t worry i used one for daytime and one for night :)
also turns out niacinamide was irritating my skin after all and it wasn’t a purge, figured it out when i didn’t use it for a week because my order was delayed… after stopping it fully my skin is once again clear!
@@kokomiiiiii-_- did you see any results?
@@54nch1t nothing from niacinamide, seems like it just isn’t for my sensitive skin. i’m currently barely using actives and my skin is in best shape its ever been!!
@@kokomiiiiii-_- glad to hear that!
i was wondering about this, cause i broke/purged out after a new skin care routine. But i will ''hang'' in there girl. LOVE the way you tell my non professional brain how things work.
Pl
you’re a life saver! I just started using a product with 4% niacinimide and broke out like crazy on my forehead in tiny bumps! I thought I was having an insane allergic reactions, I went to a pharmacist and they told me to keep using it and I was sure they were crazy! This video was so informative and helpful
Kathryn O'Reilly I’m so glad it was helpful!!! Just pay attention to if it’s going away in about 3 weeks and next time maybe patch test 🤣
Kathryn O'Reilly how is it now??
Sensational Kurlsss The new purging spots cleared up completely within 5 days of using it, but the product didn’t make much difference to my pre-existing acne so I stopped using a couple of days ago! Seems like the product would work well for others though I think it’s worth a try
@@kathrynoreilly1031 good to know!
My skin is purging , should I keep using TO’s niacinamide??🥺🥺
People don’t understand that you have to add products slowly. I add one product a week if I have something new I wanna try...... But then again I see all these influencers who try 10 new products in every video without breaking out.
Hi, sorry to bother you... i know you're not a professional(?) but i'm desperate about my acne so, after reading your comment, I wanted to ask if you have any advice for people (me) who've made this mistake ? What can I do to make it work? Do you think I should wait or change my skin care routine again, slowly?
(so sorry for the mistakes and thank you so much if u answer)
@@gwladysguiet1013 I get you. I'm purging too because of niacinamide. But I left it and I improved my diet and routine so my skin has got much better. Just use a cleanser and a moisturizer. Your skin will heal by itself
@@ayushisingh1372 Thank you so much!!
I just put this on my face 😆 I love it so much. I started using this after my skin already “purged” from my curology formula so I never experienced a breakout. The texture is also slightly sticky which is perfect to use under makeup as a primer 🤩
I just bought this yesterday and NOW this comes on my feed 😭
Yep... got it on Friday and started using. Took pics of my face where I only had scars and a couple pimples that didn’t want to come out, about two of them one in each cheek. Saturday they came out huge, Sunday I had at least 6 pimples, yesterday my face was disgusting to look. Today it’s looking better, I am using it until Friday to see if it changed something. I Harare it accelerates the process and it makes all that junk under my face that I had to come out. First time I used was on Friday night, on Saturday I used morning/night and then Sunday I used it at night, and Monday when I saw my face so disgusting I did not use it at all. Today Tuesday I used it again at night and I will not use tomorrow, But the day after for sure. My advice is don’t do it like I did, I went too fast with it
Sameee
Is there any way we can dilute it?
@@Holadragons tbh idk but I’m going to put it on my face while it’s still wet maybe that’ll dilute it ? 🤷🏽♀️
@@Holadragons I mixed it with TO's Amino Acids + B5. When I first started, my skin also reacted negatively to the Niacinamide serum cos that's how most skin will react to a new product.
It's important to ease this serum into our routine i.e. use it twice a week, once a day. Then progress to 4 times a week at night, before finally everyday at least once a day. But it's good to also give our skin a break from too much products and strip down to bare minimum once or twice a month.
Often, I mix TO's Niacinamide with other products like my moisturiser to dilute it.
P.S. TO's 0.2% retinol is a pretty affordable exfoliant that's gentle, if you want to try out a new product. Been using it once to twice per week.
Her voice calms me ❤️
I just found you. Wanna say you’re so organized and objective in your explanations. ❤️🌸
you need the hype omg your videos are so well made and i love your aesthetic!! this video was the first video of yours that i’ve watched and it was super informative, thank you!
Thanks sm! Wow, such nice words - truly means the world to me! 🥺🥰
Why are you underrated 🥺 you deserve more. Thank you so much!!
That product has actually helped my skin and I have less breakouts! My skin is more on the oily side so it definitely helped shrink my pores to prevent me from getting more bacteria and oil and such in my pores.
@zaenxa not sure if it is for oily skin but just saying that usually my face is pretty oily so just a reason on why it works for me 🙂
Currently watching this with my skin acting crazy and angry after three days of use- determined to make it work glad I’m not the only one who has reacted to it
WE DEMAND A MAKEUP TUTORIAL YOUR SKIN IS PERFECTION
you deserve such a bigger audience !!
wow Rebecca! THANKS SO MUCH 🥺🥰
Hi, I bought this product and I’ve really struggled with making it work for me. Unless using it 1/2 times a day works for you I would recommend starting off with using this product 1/2 times a week and building it up as your skin starts to tolerate the product more. Using it daily really irritated my skin, even after purging, and I found using it 3 times a week has been the most effective dosage for my skin.
Niacinamide made my skin break out on my cheeks and chin and I was left with scarring, HOWEVER it’s been taking a turn and now my face doesn’t break out as much as before, my skin looks tighter and brighter and the scarring has gone away for the most part but I definitely continue to see improvement. Glad I didn’t give up on the product! 10/10 would recommend!!!
Hi! Should we continue using the product while purging? or stop it and then again use it after purging period
keep using it@@maryamafrasteh6739
Aoa how much time it will take ur skin to get back afyer starting it
ahh idk.. i stopped using it and used normal nivea and curcuma clear by neutrogena. the burns and irritation cleared up in 3 days.@@nasaupdates790
i woke up with three major, underground breakouts a few nights ago and unfortunately, i picked at them :/ and it made the one on my cheek so much worse. i never considered my skin was purging until i saw this video-- and i just ran out of my paula's choice niacinamide serum and switched over to the ordinary's serum a few days ago. thanks for uploading this, it made me realize my skin was likely purging instead! super informative :)
Thank you! That helped me sooo much, I'm using it now for about a week now and I got some pimples, this video explained everything ❤️❤️
N C so glad it was helpful!!! 😘
how is it looking now?
U explain it so clearly thank you! Ur a life saver seriously I understood nothing from google
You’re a lifesaver!! Had a small panic attack when I saw the massive break out
I really enjoyed this video!! I’ve have been using it for like 2 months now and my skin is legit so good now it is totally gotten rid of all my pimples and I’ve noticed that my blackheads on my nose are starting disappear!!!
Did it cause purging
How often did you actually use it. Did you put it on everyday?
@@samiya9168 I used it like once a month when I think my skin is going to break out again. But I use hyaluronic acid serum everyday and it keeps my face moist and it’s helped my pimple so much.
thank you so much i didnt know if i was just purging or if i just have to sensetive skin or something 😄
Katrijn Kaufmann so glad it helped you figure that out!!!
Just discovered an underrated channel 🔥💫 thanks for the info you answered my concerns well
Girl I NEED a tutorial for this makeup look it's gorgeous!
Never had an allergic reaction to anything but The Ordinary Niacinamide made me have bumpy red scaley skin all over my face that would flare up all the time. Lasted about a year and have avoided any skin products with any of the ingredients in since!!
OMG I was wondering why this "amazing" product was not working for me! Thanks for this video
NotSamBlack glad it was helpful! We’re all different so what is HG for someone might be a no for you 😘
This is the only video that has answered my questions about this product. Thank you 🤗
This is such a well structured video 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!! I had no idea what purging was, but 3 days after I started using the niacinamide product by the ordinary I got tiny “pimples” and then I stopped using it, but after watching your video I started using it again and now my skin has stopped purging!!!
My new source of information🙆🏻♀️. Keep up the good work
wow, such kind words!!! Thank you for watching!!
Wow. That was suppose to be video only about serum but it came to be very informative. Def subbing 👍
This has been so helpful, I really thought using the serum was causing me to have an allergic reaction but it really seems to be purging
Cathy!! First of all, can I just say thank you? I love how informative this video is. Usually, I can't watch "long" videos like these and I usually end up just skipping out on it, but the way you had everything formatted made it super easy to understand and keep up with. I also love how quick and straight to the point you were with information, and I looove love love your whole vibe :)
I bought TO niacinamide/zinc formula about 2 weeks ago, as well as the Squalene cleanser, Moisturizer, and the Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%. I'm a dancer, so I have to be working out a lot, and because of that I have a lot of "fungal acne" and my skin is pretty oily. I've always had issues breaking out on my forehead (cystic and really bad hormonal acne :( it was a mess) and I recently started to break out super bad on the right side of my face for whatever reason. I've tried out so many different products, and I discovered that witch hazel seems to work pretty well for my skin - but I was still breaking out. I decided to try out TO, and after hearing so many good reviews I was really getting my hopes up.
I didn't know if I was purging or having a bad reaction to the niacinamide/zinc serum, but after watching this I think it's purging. At least I hope so! I was only ever breaking out on my forehead and right cheek (so where I would usually break out), and I haven't broken out on my cheeks for a couple of days. I'm really glad I decided to not give up on the product, and after watching this I'm pretty sure that the products will work out for me!
I have a question though - is it a good idea to use the niacinamide/zinc and azelaic acid suspension 10% with witch hazel? What I've been doing as I've slowly incorporated the new products into my routine is to use my cleanser (which is Paula's Choice Oily Combo) , witch hazel, and the azelaic acid at night, and then the niacinamide/zinc and squalene cleanser in the morning. I use the TO moisturizer morning and night. I hope you're able to read all of this, I know it's a lot ^^'' sorry!! But thank you so much... you earned a new sub from me! Hyram better watch out ;)
Hannah Grace oh wow! I’m in awe of dancers!!! Okay, so since you mentioned forehead, I have to ask - do you use a lot of hair products? I know a lot of dancers have a pretty intense makeup / hair routine during performances. Hair products can sometimes travel onto your face, especially if you’re also sweating and wearing makeup so if that’s an issue, try and dial it back if you don’t need to be on stage. Alsoooo re: niacinamide + azelaic acid + witch hazel, yup! You should be good there but just be careful that you’re not actually overdrying your skin out (because it will overcompensate with more oil production basically). Toner first, niacinamide, then the azelaic acid in that order. And be sure to have a sunscreen thrown in because the azelaic acid makes your skin sensitive to the sun!
@@CathyonSkincare ahhh thank you so much for replying!!! you're right, when i have to perform or be onstage i have to use a ton of makeup and hair product - but usually in my every-day routine i barely use any hair product (just shampoo/conditioner and sometimes dry shampoo lol) and then some lighter makeup. I'll keep at it with the niacinamide + azlelaic acid + witch hazel to see if that helps!! thank you sooo so much!
Wish I would’ve watch this before i started a whole new skincare routine 😅
love your diction and your overall impression/explanation on these products with such property..
Thanks ^^
Watching for the very first time and I couldn’t control myself not to subscribe you. Because of your smile and how magically you was talking.It’s lovely. Take love 💚💚💚
Is this what people mean when they say "the apple of the cheek?"
When I started using it, my skin went crazy for the first couple of weeks. Now it looks and feels soooo good. Super worth it
Could you share what happened in tje the first couple of weeks and how did you handle ait
@@cogitoergo9279in my teens I used to have a lot of acne, and that went away with time, but left me with a rough skin. When I started using it I had a substantial break out, reminiscent of my teen years, but then it went away for good
this video is so helpful 😭💖 and you're so pretty too 🥺
Just got it. Thank you for explaining it in detail!
I’ve been thinking about buying this serum but I was a little nervous because I’ve heard of people having bad reactions to it. My current cleanser does have niacinamide in it and it didn’t break me out after weeks of using it so I think this serum will work fine if I use it. Thank you for this very informative video 😊🙏🏻✨
Try 5% first
I love how you're talking with a beautiful smile on...
this was so helpful! Your video layout and editing is top notch bb 💕
Gurl u just saved me I’ve never had this tiny little bump since puberty I thought of throwing all the serums away which I just started days ago thank goodness my skin is just purging
i love the way she's talking. i'll hit subscribe
Andini Al Vira thanks!!! welcome to the fam!!!
helped me so much. I was so worried about the current sudden bumps on my face
Same! I have red spots and small red pimples, they showed up since day one of trying the serum :/ I’m so worried
this video made me purchase the serum and i do not regret it. my skin has never had a serious reaction towards any skin care products, and is more on the oilier side, and i have a newly formed acne scar after picking. after considering the pros and cons, i figured it was better to purchase it than to not, and for $6.50, it's such a good deal.
I've been using this product for around 3 weeks and have already purchased 3 more bottles for myself, my sister, and my friend. This is by far my holy grail and my skin has NEVER looked better- I've used TO's Niacinamide every night since I started. I don't know if that's overkill but apparently, it's working pretty well. Granted, any skincare/makeup is completely dependent upon the individual's experience. 10/10 would recommend, but this is coming from a skincare newbie, this is the only product that I've found has helped my acne and dark spots- even above my prescription retinol!
