Advanced Skin Care and Beauty Treatment Reviews - SkinGeek.com

I am having a Delicious Love Affair with a Little White Pill (niacinamide).

I’ve also gotten myself hooked on delivering the “substance” with a pearly serum. Olay Regenerist.

So now, I give myself this skin treatment about 2-3 times a day, perhaps over-pampering my often-irritated skin, with great results: paler, finer, … the serum + niacinamide takes care of the peeling and redness that I sometimes get from aggressive mandelic acid treatments.

It’s simple, easy, and takes 30 seconds to put together. It leaves a fine white cast of niacinamide powder on your face after it dries, depending on how much niacinamide you use to mix it. After it dries you can dust off the excessive white powder, and go about the rest of your day. For me, the whiteness doesn’t bother me as much as deep pigmented antioxidant + herbal extracts do with their sometimes orange, red, purple or brown streaks running down my face.

I have a ustream.tv video documenting how I make this at home.

Some notes about this niacinamide whitening and anti-acne preparation:

• only use a non acidic carrier base, such as water or a pH neutral serum
• do not use with Vitamin C products
• niacinamide works best alone without too many other active ingredients.
• boost this preparation’s whitening power with N-A-G (N-Acetyl Glucosamine) at a 1:2 (niacinamide to n-acetyl glucosamine) ratio.
