Vagiria Premium Niacinamide Powder for DIY Skincare - 99% Purity, Soothes Blemished Skin, Reduces Signs of Aging, and Enhances Skin Lightening

As another reviewer so kindly shared her formula… “I diluted 1/2 teaspoon in 8 1/2 teaspoon of distilled water. It dissolved well. I added 1 teaspoon of glycerin afterwards. I used cotton swabs to apply it on my face.,” I, however, substituted rose water in place of the distilled water and it works wonderfully! I swab my face, neck, and tops of hands twice daily before using my homemade hyaluronic acid after it dries (I also purchased my hyaluronic acid through this seller). I then apply my moisturizers, using my homemade beef tallow balm at night. My skin has improved drastically in just a week’s time (more even skin tone, smaller pores, spots fading, glowing, plumper). At 44, my skin is better than my neglected skin in my 20’s and 30’s.The bag is small, but will last forever!

This fine powder is perfect for customizing my skincare products. So far I have used in two skincare products...my nightime facewash and my morning lotion. Both are perfect carriers for the niacinamide powder. With the lotion, I mix it in a small container and let it sit a few minutes to dissolve before applying. It's ready by the time I finish with brushing my teeth and washing my face. In the evening, I add a little to my facewash, dropping a tiny scoop in my palm before adding my fashwash to it, then sudsing it up really well in my hands before applying to my face. So far-over the past few days- this process seems to improve the dryness and texture of my skin. My face does feel a little tighter, but not in a bad way...its not dry, just a little tighter. It definitely helps brighten, even in a short amount of time. I feel that with continued use, I may see fewer of the fine lines I have developed around my eyes....time will tell. But I do FEEL like my skin is improving. I will continue to use this, and dabble with additional ways to use it.I also want to add that such a small amount is actually used in my skincare routine daily. You don't want to overdue it...I am using a TINY amount per use. This bag is quite full (be very careful the first time you open it...the powder reaches the zip top and there is little to no air in the bag to tap it down so it may poof out in your face if you are not careful) so it will last a long time.

I think products are hard to tell how effective they are when they require a few months to see effect and this isn't a type of product that would have a dramatic effect. That said it probably doesn't hurt to use and it seems like it can't be overused too much. With that last statement being said I am not thrilled there isn't a form of measurement provided, and the instructions are super vague. The only reason I have any idea how to use or how much to use is from researching the ordinary's niacinamide powder and approaching this like that. Comparing it to that however, this is half the price if a true 3.5 ounces is in the bag, I'm inclined to think there is. If you are deciding between the two, or looking to make a cost effective switch I would highly recommend this. I would probably suggest buying the ordinary powder and then use this to refill, which as I write this I am totally going to do :-)

Upon arrival it appeared this would be a small quantity due to the size of the bag, but there's actually a good amount inside. The description doesn't match the actual benefits and material. However, this is a good helper for adding to things like make up, lotion, and other things I'm putting on my skin. It helps with imperfections. This is a good value for how long it lasts.

OK, the problem that I have is that I do mix this product with another oil that I have that I apply at night. While it does mix well enough and is easy to apply, I don't know if what's working is the oil or the powder or a combination of the two. I started using the oil and the powder at the same time, so while I can say that my skin absolutely does look better, I can't give all the credit to the powder and since I can't apply the powder all by itself, I'm kind of at a loss as to say whether its the reason why my skin is looking so great.

I love that this comes in a powdered form so that I can put it directly into any liquid, serum or cream that I'm applying to the area I'd like to treat. I've experienced reduced redness and no irritation since starting to add this into my moisturizer

2.10.24~ A year ago I spent $30 on 1/3 of an ounce of Niacinamide Booster for my face.I pour a little powder in my palm them pump serum/gel & my face plumps.Yes my 50+ old face remembers its alive with Cica & Niacinamide so worth it.That was 100% pure.This is 99% pure and is 3 and a half ounces for less then 20 bucks?Well I only wanted it to mix in my body cream for a boost so took a chance.It's been month.Put some in a jar to use nightly, maybe an ounce, and put the rest away.My test is~ Can I self tan and not have the "invisble" sun damage of my youth mock me?The spots are still there but drastically faded before adding this to my cream nightly.Faded to the point I'm not horrified to self tan.Instead I have nice tan legs again & my legs deserve to feel pretty.Don't know if this info helps. No I didn't put on my face but amazing body results.As a Gen X with few regrets, don't know if I had to do it again if I'd use sunscreen.Those Summer Nights in a golden tan were priceless.. I may skip the baby oil tanning though..Thanks to this $20 bag of do-over I'm no longer mocked by my good bad decisions.
