The Ordinary Skincare NEW! Niacinamide Powder Initial Review & How to Use and Multiple Use Options
hey guys so i finally got my niacinamide powder from the ordinary which uh if you’re watching my recent videos i’m loving making masks i like to put a mask on i don’t know three or four nights a week usually and i love little powders like this because you can kind of customize it and add a little bit of excitement to it i’ve got powders like this i got an arbutin powder i also have centella sica powder vitamin c powder obviously and now the niacinamide powder from the ordinary and tonight i’m going to use it in a mask uh rinse it off and i’ll probably mix a couple grains of it in a serum of mine so i was just trying to debate generally if you’re using the niacinamide you don’t want to use it in a product that already contains niacinamide because you don’t use too much too much can cause flushing dryness irritation but if you get the right amount niacinamide can be a lifesaver it can help with so many different skin issues pore size redness healthiness skin barrier it’s a good antioxidant skin brightness pigmentation issues so a debate between three different masks the dr robux icebergs mask the polish choice super hydrate overnight mask which i don’t use overnight or the tula what do they call us the kefir ultimate recovery mask and out of those i decided to go with the dr robux icebergs mask that baroque has has a lot of different mask products and i like this one and then the uluru mask is uh it’s very dark red uh it’s a little bit of a physical exfoliant and this one is in my opinion their most gentle mask there you go a little glob of it uh it’s very gentle no fragrance no alcohol in this one and it does a nice job leaving your skin feeling hydrated afterwards so i already washed my face and toned it so i’m opening up the niacinamide powder and what i did with the jar was i just peeled back a certain amount of it just to prevent where did i peel it back i must have stuck already i just peel back a little bit just to prevent too much moisture from getting in there and the ordinary yeah the ordinary gives you a little scoop which is super cute i think i lost mine with their vitamin c serum but uh i’d recommend starting out uh slow with the smaller amount i certainly don’t know if you want to fill the whole little thing up because uh generally less is almost always more so i know can you see how full that is got about a third of the way the granules seem very fine so there we go and put them on with the mask they are very fine so it seems like it’s not gonna be an issue of like a grainy feel like when you mix this in with the water-based serum to leave on which is nice because some of these powders can be a little bit grainy and sometimes they just don’t mix in well there we go so i think i’m gonna leave that on for about five to ten minutes and then hop in the shower rinse it up and then i will add one more little amount to one of my favorite water-based serums it’s important to find a good water-based serum that doesn’t have too many actives too many other ingredients something a little more simple just because in general when you’re mixing things and kind of creating your own chemistry lab uh it’s just less likely that it could be your skin to be irritated the less chemicals you’re mixing it in with so there we go i’ve got it on i’m gonna put my lip mask on which lately i’ve been using the algenist oh sorry can you see my face again okay i just like to put a little bit of that on my mask to help my lips and then when i come back i’ll have for install this off so and remind me if i ever try and do this again never to buy another sunscreen from dr jart ever ever i bought another one stupid me i don’t know i hated the other ones i tried but i thought this one the ingredient list looked a lot better and i tried it again and it just had terrible white cast everyone from dr jarrett for me has had a terrible white cast and i don’t know why i’ve tried so many of them i’ve never tried another one again i’m done never let me do it again because this last one was like the final straw i’m like this goes on terribly i’m already pale but it just looks terrible it just is so bad i just want to do some exercising and want to put some sunscreen on before i went outside by i had to put foundation over because it was that bad so remind me whenever i think about it so okay i will see you in uh well i’m gonna hop in the shower and i’ll see in a second okay okay so i’m out of the shower and i rinse that mask off with my skin feels really nice and uh clean and i cleansed with i don’t have it handy the cray beauty matcha hemp cleanser which i absolutely love that cleanser it is great one won’t dry your skin does a great job removing makeup sunscreen all that stuff uh no fragrance and all that so highly recommend that so i rinsed it off so now uh before bed i’m going to apply a small amount of the ordinary niacinamide powder to a water-based serum of mine and i recommend i get a lot of questions about their vitamin c powder uh people wondering if they can mix it with this oil or that oil or yadda yadda and personally i just recommend going with a water-based serum with less ingredients the least amount of ingredients you can get in a good serum that still offers some hydration uh and oils typically just don’t mesh well with the grains especially the vitamin c so anyway the niacinamide i debated which serum to mix it in with and i decided to go with the b plane what they called the sick of full ampule which i really like haven’t got much of a chance to use it too often but i figured might as well give it a whirl tonight so i’m going to do the same thing with my little spoon that they gave me i’m going to take a small amount and if you really want to get the benefits of niacinamide you want to leave it on so i just took a small scoop and i’m gonna put that the palm of my hands i’m gonna take a what they call it a pipeline pipette dropper bottle pipeline pipette i don’t know whatever trying to be all fancy with my words and i’m going to mix that in with the niacinamide and you know what this uh meshes nicely you don’t feel like the grains in it which is really nice some powders aren’t fine enough so you end up with a bit of graininess which doesn’t feel the nicest but this one uh the niacinamide just mixed in beautifully the the particle size or the grain size of that is really small and it just mixes in so nicely i don’t feel any uh bumps or any uh kind of sandy feeling or anything it just feels like a nice light serum so that one really worked nicely so there we go so if you don’t include niacinamide in your team currently i highly recommend doing something to include it somehow whether it’s a niacinamide serum or the powder or a moisturizer with nice cinnamite in it highly recommend it it will help your skin a ton and it’s one of my favorite ingredients so i’m thinking of doing like a video uh in the next week or two like a video on like each day my favorite ingredients and my favorite products that contain it or something like that so i’ll work on that but anyway i thought i would share with you my uh first thoughts on the ordinary niacinamide powder so definitely interested in hearing from you guys if you have a chance to pick it up or if you’ve tried uh any of these similar powders from different brands i love hearing from you so leave a comment and i will see you more tomorrow thank you so much guys
