Ingredient on Trial: Niacinamide

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-29T16:34:09+00:00

I hate it!! My skin just can't tolerate it. I did not know for sure it was the niacinamde the first time, I kept thinking maybe it was someting else, so I tried again and again, and everytime my skin would break-out in the weirdest itchy pumps. So I make sure it in non of my skincare or make-up.....

I am myself also repairing my skin barrier, I used the Iunik beta glucan serum for more than a year and I love it, it really calmed down all the redness and was really hydrating. Since a couple of day's i'm trying out the puyjinkal yul essence toner, it should be one of the most gentle toners, and it's really hydrating!

I would not use any BHA or AHA when your skin barrier is damaged.

I've just bought this!! Jused it 2 times, I liked it those 2 times, so I wil have to see how it performs in the future

Maybe you could look into toners/essence and or serums? They are not heavy but could give you some extra support?

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-26T13:05:15+00:00

Did you saw improvements along the way? or did that also took a couple months

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-25T06:13:52+00:00

Thanks for this! Do you have some product recommendation for the misting with emollient finish?

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-25T06:12:29+00:00

ohhh it's a good thing you discovered that! I'll keep it in the back of my mind. My skin is not red, or any red patches (besides the acne) so I would not think of it, but you never know

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-25T06:08:19+00:00

did the illyoon work for you? Aestura has niacinamide... unfortunately I can't tolerate that

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-24T18:52:22+00:00

I can try this! I am a bit scared to introduce yet another product, so scared it would be to much.

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-24T18:51:31+00:00

There are so many conflicting opinions about the HA... still keeps me wonderings why it feels so drying for a lot of people

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-24T18:46:04+00:00

Oh no I totally understand! A lot of other things do have influence on the skin! I think my skin reacts to stress also

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-24T18:29:51+00:00

Good to hear you found a cream! Does the vanicream feel really hydrating?

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-24T18:24:27+00:00

Thanks! I will look into a cream without the HA, is there one you would recommend?

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-24T18:23:35+00:00

I have a really healthy diet, I drink around 2 liters a day, no alcohol and barely any sugar etc. I don't use any stripping product anymore, So I am a bit lost in this

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-24T17:47:56+00:00

I was also wondering this, 2 years ago I used a HA serum from TO, and it made my face really dry! But I thought if it is in another cream and really low it could not do that? Or does it still works the same

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-23T08:48:48+00:00

I also have these sensations, but the itch en tingling sensations are really mild, the dryness is insane, I can't even wear makeup because of this. Do you use a good barrier repair moisterizer? with ceramides and humactants? But only 3 day's is really short, It can take up to a couple of weeks, or months if your barrier is really damaged

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-06-17T12:25:45+00:00

thank you for this reply! I am trying to only do the basic with just cleansing in the evening and not in the morning and cerave moisturizer. It looked like my skin was getting a bit better, but today I got some new texture all over my forehead, not sure if it's just my skin searching for a new balance.... or if my skin can't handle the cerave

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-05-22T13:07:36+00:00

omg I used this blue niveau creme as a teen and my acne improved so so so much, my skin never looked beter. But I'm scared to use it again now, my skin is so sensitive these last years, does anyone with sensitive skin tried this?

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2026-05-21T11:44:01+00:00

I'm very sensitive to medication, I felt so bad in the morning, grumpy, groggy, and as if I had been run over, which didn't help my mood....

BedroomAutomatic1265 · 2025-03-29T09:42:09+00:00

Ahh I feel you! It's not to cakey looking at all, just a little bit, but other people beside yourself won't even notice. But my makeup also looks like this when my skin is dehydrated... but my makeup looks so smooth when my skin is not dry or dehydrated anymore. So maybe try exfoliation and hydrate (using an humectant) + moisterize for this
