Niacinamide Benefits for Skin | Dr Gaile Robredo-Vitas

[@ferrariunicorn]

The term skin brightening can be a put off for many bc of things like tanning and fair idolization but know this, that serums like Niacinamide and others, can brighten our skin to its original tone - and imo that is a win win for all of us - to truly be and shine as our beauty selves ♥️

[@irenegaile]

Thanks and I agree with you :)

Hi doc! Can I use glycolic acid and Niacinamide in a sugar scrub?

[@joy2776]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Will niacinamide + zinc will go well with bakuchiol and ultra peptide serums?

[@irenegaile]

It should be ok. What’s more important though is identifying your skin concerns and finding the right ingredient combination to address them :)

Hi doc, I've been using niacinamide 10% serum for my dark spots and how long will it take to see results fade?

[@irenegaile]

Usually 12 weeks to see significant results. Pag wala parin it could mean the pigmentation is in the deeper layers of the skin and will need procedures.

Personally not a big fan of soaps on the face because I have dry to combination skin, but if it works for you, why not. if you desire skin lightening --- lightening creams and sunscreens work better than soaps.

[@irenegaile]

Lotion for skin lightening? Maraming brands you can find in the market, top of mind na naiisip ko na lightening are provamed, nivea, belo, myra, vaseline etc. BUT equally important (or maybe even more important) in my opinion, is to use sunprotection by applying suncreens and avoiding direct and polonged sun exposure. Hindi mag wowork ang pagpaputi kapag lagi karin nagbibilad sa araw :)

Super Informative big help, thank you doc!!❤️🌸 You're so pretty. How to achieve vampire ski tone? Why some of skinone are yellowish? Thank you doc sana masagot po❤️❤️

[@irenegaile]

Hello! thank you for your kind words! When you say vampire skin do you mean to say ung super white? Actually our skin tones differ because of the type and amount of melanin present in our skin. To get skin as light as possible its very important to practice correct and consistent sun protection kc UV radiation exposure triggers melanin production, pag hindi ka nag pa-araw hindi ka iitim. Then you may use skin lightening ingredients to even out your skin tone -- niacinamide, arbutin, kojic acid etc.

[@jhoyzaguerra1210]

Doc, can we use vitamin C and Niacinamide at the same time?

[@irenegaile]

yes pwede :) you might read online na hindi pwede but that was from a research done in the 1960s wherein they mixed pure vitamin C and niacinamide in high temperatures which produced nicotinic acid, causing redness and irritation, which is not what happens in actual, we normally dont store them or use them in high temperatures.

Is papaya soap great for skin whitening?

[@irenegaile]

Papaya soaps work in lightening the skin in 2 ways: 1. kojic acid which is a lightening ingredient, 2. papain which exfoliates the skin. For me, if the soap works on on your skin -- doesnt leave it dry, tight, or irritated, then it's ok. Although if you really want to lighten the skin I recommend a combination of: (1) diligent and consistent sun avoidance/sun protection and (2) use of skin lightening products with safe ingredients for the skin

Dra, may I ask if it is safe to integrate niacinamide to other acne topical medication such as Clindamycin, Benzoyl Peroxide and Adapalene (Epiduo)? And if it is advisable to use Epiduo in the evening and BPO 2.5 in the morning? Thank you for the additional information Dra! :)

[@irenegaile]

Niacinamide is a very "friendly" skin ingredient and goes well with practically anything. However with regards to the other ingredients you mentioned, since they are prescription medication, it is best to ask the dermatologist who prescribed them to you kc nakita ka nya at na assess nya ung skin mo. He/she would know if you will be able to tolerate a combination of those ingredients :)
