Hello, Im a licensed Skin Therapist. Before I even look at this video I would like to comment that when I saw the thumbmail, it made me smile. The reason is that I love this guy. I've noticed more and more how he challenges convention and gets into the nitty and gritty. I've learned so much.

[@brendabrannan9308]

My husband has had several skin cancers removed…His Dermatologist recommended that he take ORALLY 1000 mg of niacinimide daily…..The research they were citing,showed that taking it orally will reduced the number of PRE- CANCEROUS LESIONS BY 25%……

[@JuliaShalomJordan]

Wow! Incredible! Thank u for sharing as I’ve never heard this.❤

[@leorising8074]

The science says to never separate the b vitamins orally. Taking one without the others will surely be a problem later in life.

[@lindab5789]

My husband visits the dermatologist every 6 months, and has done so for 20 years. Almost every time he has some basal or squamous cell cancer removed. He has had MOHS surgery twice. Two years ago, his doctor recommended he start taking oral niacinimide. It has now been two years since he has had any skin cancers. Although his experience might be considered anecdotal, it is consistent with the research.

My derm gave me the same advice

[@hannahimnida4872]

hi. would you mind sharing what brand he has been taking?

[@deeford8318]

Niacinamide is probably my favorite skincare active. I’ve used it in serum form for years, first in La Roche Posay’s Pigmentclar (now d/c’d 😢) and now in their 10% Niacinamide serum. It has refined/ minimized my pores and is the only ingredient that has had a significant impact on my hyperpigmentation/sun spots. Thank you, Dr. Karam , for emphasizing consistency and long term use. I found it took me about 4-6 weeks of daily use before I could see my sun spots fading. I had one spot that even makeup wouldn’t cover and now, years later, it continues to break up into smaller parts and lighter parts so I barely notice it anymore. My overall skin clarity is so much better when I use it, I never want to be without it. Ive tried other products for hyperpigmentation like vitamin c (I do still use it) and tranexamic acid and alpha arbutin without real results. Niacinamide is my skincare hero!❤

My skin barrier was compromised after I suffered an allergic reaction to a high end chemical SFP cream. I believe this sensitised my skin so now there are certain products that just trigger breakouts. Niacinamide is one of those ingredients. It doesn't agree with my skin at all, same with hyaluronic acid. Dries my skin out and causes itchy patches. I don't think all actives are helpful. Sometimes less is more and the simpler the product, the healthier your skin.
