Let’s talk about a bit of skincare.
The Fenty Skin Watch Ya Tone serum is out and it has been getting a lot of buzz. Niacinamide is… you guessed it… great for dealing with pigmentation. Why do we need all these things ingredients to deal with the same problem? The short answer is that they all work in different ways, so if this is something you really struggle with, having an army of products can be helpful.
Watch Ya Tone has 5% Niacinamide and yes, it’s been shown to be effective even in small doses, so you don’t have to go out and find the formula with the most in it. I’ve noticed that Fenty formulas are really smooth and well-blended. The products work together seamlessly. I feel like their marketing seems geared toward teenagers but they’re encouraging good skincare habits which will make a difference in the long run.
I’ve tried a few other Niacinamide products like one from The Ordinary, which is 10% and with Zinc. I found this one to be amazing in the summer because it kept my skin so matte.
Bliss has a Niacinamide and Pore Vanishing toner that I loved.
Oh K! is a Korean brand that has a Niacinamide mist and it worked well too. This one was available in the drugstore so I didn’t have to order it.
Do you have a Fenty product you love? The sunscreen is my favourite.
