Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the holy grail. This is THE STUFF. I'm in my late 20's and I was diagnosed with "pre-rosacea" - a mild redness to my cheeks and jawline, but none of the other symptoms such as acne. My skin looked and felt chronically dry to the point of itching no matter what I used. My skin was like, perpetually chapped. I tried everything: dandruff shampoo (for the selenium), zinc/sulphur soap (anti-bacterial), sea buckthorn oil, primrose oil, hemp oil, maracuja oil (anti-inflammatory), and azelaic acid (finacea). Nothing worked and if anything they all just exacerbated the problem. Enter niacinamide aka B3 aka the miracle ingredient that not only has anti-aging properties but, as it turns out, the ability to "address skin discolorations". Yeeeeah, you can side-eye that description if you want, I too am tired of reading about how blahblah ingredient calms redness or is an anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory for me=run for the hills because you're about to get a big old dose of RED) But no, niacinamide has bigger plans than that. It is a 'cell communicating' ingredient that basically tells your well-meaning but crappier skin cells "hey, wake up and behave like you care a little". You know how when you first wake up your skin is clear and beautiful and ohmygod I-am-having-the-best-skin day ever, til you actually stand up and start moving around and then BAM it's like you ran hot water on your face except it never goes away? This product actually somehow maintains that morning skin for me, all the time. Additionally the texture has improved and it finally feels hydrated. So yeah, I recommend this product. I plan on adding vit C to my routine soon (for anti-aging) which could go either way with my skin. I have high hopes. I'll update here for any other rosaceans who are determined to find an anti-aging solution!
