[Before&After] I eliminated Niacinamide from my routine

Before is in November 2024 After is today in February 2025

After years it finally clicked it my head that the common ingredient in all the products that don't work for me is Niacinamide. So I finally got my routine switched over to products that don't contain any niacinamide.

My skin is less red, irritated and flush. I finally feel like my skin tone has evened out and my skin is more hydrated.

I struggle with dry acne prone skin, but for a long time it seemed like it was just getting worse. Now I feel like I have finally reached a point where I can consider adding in an exfoliating step, and keep improving, knowing to avoid all niacinamide going forward.
