[@stephaddiction]

[@MP-hw6sx]

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.

[@luisacerrato331]

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.

[@librarymom3034]

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.

[@jennifercappellano3176]

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!

[@RoxanneJ]

I swear by this PM moisturizer! Use it all the time day or night! Plus spf also. It’s amazing.

[@sarahcarnithan6771]

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!!!

[@zentlimx]

You still use tretinoin? Everyday? Or how combine tretinoin and CeraVe moisturizer? Thank you 😊

[@Donna010]

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.

[@miriamscerri7406]

may i ask you what Brand you use?

[@SECERETSONG]

@@miriamscerri7406 The first product I used that contained niacinamide was Cereve Resurfacing retinol serum. The concentration of retinol is pretty low and the niacinamide was higher up on the ingredients list which meant higher concentration. I loved the way that made my skin feel and look immediately. I moved on to a high concentration retinol/ niacinamide serum by qrx labs. 1% retinol, 5%niacinamide. Great results with that one too. I'm currently using naturium retinaldehyde which does not contain niacinamide but I make sure to use moisturizers that contain niacinamide: Bubble moisturizer, Cereve tinted sunscreen, Elf moisturizer. I'm satisfied with my routine and don't feel I need a niacinamide serum, so long as it's in the moisturizers and/or toners I use. I'm combo to oily, fare skin, no major issues. My routine targets oiliness, "large pores," and combating some dry areas that arise with mature skin. I'm 43.

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.

[@LuOsorio]

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.

[@airamsipuola5045]

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. 🙂
