00:00 - 00:03

hello I'm Dr Venita ratan I'm a

00:01 - 00:05

medically qualified doctor and a

00:03 - 00:07

cosmetic formulator specifically for

00:05 - 00:09

skin or color today's video has been

00:07 - 00:11

highly requested by thousands of you and

00:09 - 00:14

that is to investigate every single ni

00:11 - 00:16

cide serum on Nik which ones are worth

00:14 - 00:18

your money and which ones you should

00:16 - 00:21

avoid so the big mistake with NI Cinema

00:18 - 00:23

it all started off with the ordinary oh

00:21 - 00:25

no they made a mistake with their Inky

00:23 - 00:27

list as well as you know none of my

00:25 - 00:29

videos have ever been sponsored and they

00:27 - 00:31

will never be sponsored I purchase every

00:29 - 00:33

product that I talk about on this

00:31 - 00:35

channel I for the last 15 years immersed

00:33 - 00:38

in formulations for skin of color and

00:35 - 00:40

clinical studies for our scan I also

00:38 - 00:42

wrote skin Revolution it's a beautiful

00:40 - 00:43

book on skin of color that's been

00:42 - 00:46

published by Harper Collins and

00:43 - 00:47

available on Amazon goes through all the

00:46 - 00:50

ingredients that we need for our skin

00:47 - 00:51

what we should maybe avoid and

00:50 - 00:53

ingredients that work really well

00:51 - 00:55

together so if you are passionate about

00:53 - 00:59

skincare get your hands on this so what

00:55 - 01:02

is nide nide is your Skin's best friend

00:59 - 01:04

it is is my favorite ingredient for skin

01:02 - 01:06

of color the reason is that nide has

01:04 - 01:08

many different benefits with very little

01:06 - 01:11

irritation some of the benefits include

01:08 - 01:13

minimizing pores so don't forget skin of

01:11 - 01:15

color have larger pores than Caucasian

01:13 - 01:17

skin number two it helps with oil SE

01:15 - 01:19

production so if you have oily acne PR

01:17 - 01:21

skin it will help you but it'll also

01:19 - 01:23

help you if you have dry skin and

01:21 - 01:25

sensitive skin cuz it's also an

01:23 - 01:27

anti-inflammatory it also helps you if

01:25 - 01:29

you have dull skin or any form of

01:27 - 01:30

hyperpigmentation it will help slightly

01:29 - 01:32

with hyperpigment M mation it's an

01:30 - 01:34

ingredient that you tend to use in a

01:32 - 01:37

cocktail with other tyrosines Inhibitors

01:34 - 01:39

the beauty about nide is that it's pH

01:37 - 01:41

skin neutral so there's no irritation

01:39 - 01:43

with it and it plays very nicely with

01:41 - 01:46

other actives that are also pH skin

01:43 - 01:49

neutral so the big mistake with nide all

01:46 - 01:50

started off with the ordinary so

01:49 - 01:52

remember the ordinary came out with

01:50 - 01:54

their 10% nin amide I believe I might

01:52 - 01:57

have it here do I have it here yeah the

01:54 - 01:59

ordinary came out with this and everyone

01:57 - 02:01

in the world went oh the ordinary is

01:59 - 02:03

doing very well let me copy paste this

02:01 - 02:04

formula and put it under my own Brad

02:03 - 02:07

name suddenly everyone came out with a

02:04 - 02:09

10% nicomide serum that wasn't that

02:07 - 02:10

didn't just happened that happened

02:09 - 02:12

because of this there's no other reason

02:10 - 02:15

why everybody picked the number 10 it's

02:12 - 02:17

an arbitrary number actually that's not

02:15 - 02:19

the right number so the problem with

02:17 - 02:21

copying someone else's formula is if

02:19 - 02:22

they get the formula wrong everyone else

02:21 - 02:24

gets a formula wrong too and that's

02:22 - 02:26

what's happened here because clinical

02:24 - 02:29

studies show that nicomide should be in

02:26 - 02:31

the range of 2 to 5% that's where you

02:29 - 02:33

want to be purchased ing your nides that

02:31 - 02:35

also includes layering so for example if

02:33 - 02:37

you have a toner with nide would say 1%

02:35 - 02:39

like our toner then you put in say for

02:37 - 02:42

example your moisturizer with 2%

02:39 - 02:45

nicomide then you put in a sunscreen

02:42 - 02:46

with 2% nide that's now 5% nicomide so

02:45 - 02:48

you also want to look at how you're

02:46 - 02:50

layering these products and most

02:48 - 02:53

products nowadays have nicomide in them

02:50 - 02:55

but you want to be looking for 2 to 5%

02:53 - 02:57

so this is the renew range that I

02:55 - 02:59

formulated with the dermac co for India

02:57 - 03:00

I've actually made a whole video on this

02:59 - 03:02

but the reason I'm showing you this is

03:00 - 03:05

because nicomide can be found in

03:02 - 03:08

different products not just say for

03:05 - 03:10

example your serums nide can be found in

03:08 - 03:12

from everything from a face wash right

03:10 - 03:13

up to your sunscreen in this range for

03:12 - 03:15

example I made it as a capsule cuz I

03:13 - 03:17

assumed that you would use it together

03:15 - 03:19

this has become actually our hero

03:17 - 03:22

product because it's your dark marks

03:19 - 03:24

serum so it's your retinol retin aldhy

03:22 - 03:27

put in Alpha ARB 10 and vitamin C into

03:24 - 03:29

this in an Airless pump but I knew that

03:27 - 03:31

if you're going to use this together

03:29 - 03:33

it's going to add up to 5% niacinamide

03:31 - 03:35

so what I did is I put the nicomide into

03:33 - 03:37

our face wash into our toner and into

03:35 - 03:39

our moisturizer and I avoided these two

03:37 - 03:42

products to ensure that when you used it

03:39 - 03:44

as a capsule you would get every active

03:42 - 03:48

we needed to help you combat UV

03:44 - 03:51

radiation pollution dust heat sweating

03:48 - 03:53

open pores and congested skin those are

03:51 - 03:55

the key issues that affect Indian skin

03:53 - 03:56

in India when it comes to packaging with

03:55 - 03:58

nide we don't have to be quite as

03:56 - 04:01

precious as we are when it comes to our

03:58 - 04:03

vitamin C and our vitamin A because it's

04:01 - 04:05

not an antioxidant it's not going to

04:03 - 04:07

oxidize in oxygen however having said

04:05 - 04:09

this I would still say I don't love

04:07 - 04:12

droppers because also the thing about

04:09 - 04:14

droppers you drop it and the tip will

04:12 - 04:17

touch your face your face is full of

04:14 - 04:19

microbes and fungus and if you then put

04:17 - 04:21

that back into the jar yes we have a

04:19 - 04:24

preservative system but you're just

04:21 - 04:26

adding unnecessary bacteria every time

04:24 - 04:28

for me you're doing this every day so

04:26 - 04:30

it's just it's just not something I love

04:28 - 04:32

I love product to come out onto your

04:30 - 04:34

hand and nothing to go back into the

04:32 - 04:37

Jaws I want it to be oneway

04:34 - 04:38

situation and so that's one thing that I

04:37 - 04:40

would bear in mind you also know about

04:38 - 04:43

the 2 to 5% and I'd also say look at the

04:40 - 04:45

other co- ingredients so want fragrance

04:43 - 04:47

free want it to be nav safe so no DH

04:45 - 04:48

alcohol no fragrance no essential oils

04:47 - 04:50

of course and you also want to see what

04:48 - 04:52

other ingredients it works with so

04:50 - 04:53

humectant work really well with it

04:52 - 04:57

because that's a water magnet it help

04:53 - 04:59

allows the nide to work better peptides

04:57 - 05:01

works very well with nide as well

04:59 - 05:02

peptides generally across the board is

05:01 - 05:04

going to help you on many different

05:02 - 05:05

fronts actually helps everything from

05:04 - 05:07

pigmentation to allow better penetration

05:05 - 05:09

of other actives to helping with Fine

05:07 - 05:12

Lines right the bit that you are all

05:09 - 05:14

waiting for is let's go through every

05:12 - 05:18

single product starting off with we

05:14 - 05:20

equal okay so cellophane again which

05:18 - 05:22

helps to protect the packaging and I

05:20 - 05:24

actually I made sure I don't open up

05:22 - 05:26

anything unless it's on camera so you

05:24 - 05:28

can see my First Reactions but also you

05:26 - 05:31

can see what it looks like if you were

05:28 - 05:31

to purchase it

05:36 - 05:43

okay H we have a pepet

05:40 - 05:45

situation okay so here we go it's coming

05:43 - 05:45

out

05:45 - 05:50

clear penetrates quite nicely into the

05:51 - 05:54

skin bit of a funky

05:54 - 06:00

smell I'm not loving it but let's see

05:57 - 06:01

what's in it uh so in here they have put

06:00 - 06:04

in water of course as the first

06:01 - 06:06

ingredient that's your universal solvent

06:04 - 06:08

so ninine dissolves in water so that

06:06 - 06:11

would make sense they put in 5% ninine

06:08 - 06:13

excellent well done because most people

06:11 - 06:15

jump to copying these guys so well done

06:13 - 06:18

the 5% they added in glycerin which I

06:15 - 06:19

love that's your humant they also added

06:18 - 06:21

the fifth ingredient in here is a

06:19 - 06:23

panthenol excellent panthenols are

06:21 - 06:24

anti-inflammatory so I'm very happy

06:23 - 06:27

about this propylene glycol which is a

06:24 - 06:28

humant very good and they put in Copper

06:27 - 06:31

tripeptide which helps to stimulate

06:28 - 06:35

collagen and and elastin and it's Nave

06:31 - 06:36

safe so I love it Well Done reeal

06:35 - 06:38

excellent if you guys want me to

06:36 - 06:40

actually review the entire brand of we

06:38 - 06:41

equal can you write the word we equal

06:40 - 06:45

below and I'll make sure I do that for

06:41 - 06:48

you but I am impressed moving on to

06:45 - 06:50

deconstruct okay very good apply two to

06:48 - 06:53

three drops to dry

06:50 - 06:53

scan

06:55 - 07:00

oh we have a pepet situation

07:01 - 07:04

and this glass

07:05 - 07:09

okay oh it's coming out kind of

07:11 - 07:18

milkish absorbs nicely into the

07:14 - 07:22

skin not too sticky okay so let's see

07:18 - 07:27

what's in this product Oh

07:22 - 07:28

no 10% nicomide which I don't like .3%

07:27 - 07:30

Alpha arbutin that's not in the

07:28 - 07:32

therapeutic IND index it has to be 1 to

07:30 - 07:33

2% so I don't know why they did that

07:32 - 07:35

it's not even worth your time so let's

07:33 - 07:37

go through from top to bottom it's got

07:35 - 07:39

water then nicomide then glycerin so

07:37 - 07:41

your humant which I like they put in

07:39 - 07:43

liquid root extract but again that's at

07:41 - 07:45

a fraction of a percent so again not

07:43 - 07:48

worth it oh no they made a mistake with

07:45 - 07:50

their Inky list as well on the packaging

07:48 - 07:52

it's okay but on the website it

07:50 - 07:53

basically had all the ANS do you

07:52 - 07:55

remember I talked about ANS I think I've

07:53 - 07:57

told you about this in another video

07:55 - 08:00

your Inky list should never have and in

07:57 - 08:02

it your Inky list should be basically be

08:00 - 08:04

the composition of every ingredient

08:02 - 08:06

broken down and when you put the word

08:04 - 08:09

and in it means that you haven't

08:06 - 08:11

actually added up the composition and so

08:09 - 08:12

this would not would be this would be

08:11 - 08:14

illegal actually in the UK and the EU

08:12 - 08:16

you would just never ever see on

08:14 - 08:18

packaging it's very basic error that's

08:16 - 08:19

what they've done on their website but

08:18 - 08:20

on their packaging here they seem to

08:19 - 08:22

have got it right so I'm happy about

08:20 - 08:25

that so I did actually look on Nik

08:22 - 08:27

deconstruct have a 5% option as well

08:25 - 08:29

which I definitely prefer so if you're

08:27 - 08:34

going to go with deconstruct don't buy

08:29 - 08:34

this one bu the 5% one moving on to

08:38 - 08:43

Plum can you guys guess what I'm about

08:40 - 08:46

to tell you it is in a

08:43 - 08:48

pipette oh very milky gosh getting milk

08:46 - 08:52

or milkier I do like the Milky Vibe

08:48 - 08:55

though don't you it's quite

08:52 - 08:57

satisfying Blends in nicely with the

08:55 - 08:59

skin let's see what they've put into

08:57 - 09:02

Plum so here they've done the standard

08:59 - 09:04

10% nicomide mistake so it starts off

09:02 - 09:07

with water nide then rice extract which

09:04 - 09:08

I love cuz that's antioxidants uh it's

09:07 - 09:10

also got omega3 so it's really good if

09:08 - 09:12

you've got dry skin for example the

09:10 - 09:15

ninth ingredient in here is ferment so

09:12 - 09:16

about 1% and that's a skin conditioner

09:15 - 09:17

and it's at the right percentage I'm

09:16 - 09:19

happy with that and then it's got

09:17 - 09:21

licorice root extract which is at a

09:19 - 09:22

fraction of a percent which isn't going

09:21 - 09:25

to get much benefit from that I would

09:22 - 09:27

say it's a na safe product except I

09:25 - 09:29

don't like the percentage of NY camide

09:27 - 09:32

and I did have a look on Nik and I

09:29 - 09:34

believe they also have a 5% version so

09:32 - 09:37

again I actually would tell you go and

09:34 - 09:39

buy the 5% Plum version over this but

09:37 - 09:40

otherwise I actually really like the

09:39 - 09:42

rest of the formula and this is going to

09:40 - 09:45

work nicely if you have drier skin

09:42 - 09:47

moving on to suganda I don't know

09:45 - 09:50

whether you pronounce it suanda or

09:47 - 09:53

Shanda I remember actually the owner of

09:50 - 09:56

suanda reached out to me she was years

09:53 - 09:58

ago she was one of the first people from

09:56 - 10:02

India to reach out to me and she was so

09:58 - 10:04

kind honestly there was I remember she

10:02 - 10:06

was just starting her brand and she'd

10:04 - 10:07

been watching me for a while and she was

10:06 - 10:09

saying Dr have to bring your

10:07 - 10:11

pigmentation kits to India because

10:09 - 10:13

there's nothing like it you know she was

10:11 - 10:15

trying to help me even though she wasn't

10:13 - 10:17

going to gain anything financially by

10:15 - 10:20

helping me and just wanted another

10:17 - 10:21

female to do well I just like I just

10:20 - 10:23

I'll never forget her it's not even like

10:21 - 10:25

we're in contact now but I've always got

10:23 - 10:27

such like lovely memories of her but I'm

10:25 - 10:29

also going to be very critical because

10:27 - 10:30

of products because that's what you guys

10:29 - 10:33

one from me but I just had to put that

10:30 - 10:35

out there because um I do feel like you

10:33 - 10:36

know when you have a good founder it you

10:35 - 10:37

do see it in the products actually you

10:36 - 10:40

see it in the marketing you see it in

10:37 - 10:42

the ethos you see it everywhere I've

10:40 - 10:46

only got good things to say about the

10:42 - 10:48

founder but let's talk about the product

10:46 - 10:49

okay let's start off with the 5% option

10:48 - 10:52

because you know that's what I'm going

10:49 - 10:52

to prefer

10:54 - 11:00

anyway okay she's gone for the pipet

10:57 - 11:00

option as well

11:07 - 11:13

okay

11:09 - 11:15

smell it's actually not too

11:13 - 11:18

offensive it's very similar to the other

11:15 - 11:20

raw active products and there's no

11:18 - 11:21

fragrance in this which is what I love

11:20 - 11:23

okay let me just quickly have a look at

11:21 - 11:25

the 10% as well before we go through the

11:23 - 11:25

ingredients

11:27 - 11:31

list oh my goodness

11:32 - 11:37

okay we

11:34 - 11:37

in yeah very

11:39 - 11:43

similar very similar formula that makes

11:41 - 11:44

sense between 5 and 10% you're not going

11:43 - 11:48

to see much difference okay so let's

11:44 - 11:50

have a look at what is in the product so

11:48 - 11:52

she's put in panthenol which I love

11:50 - 11:53

that's anti-inflammatory and Santella

11:52 - 11:55

very good she gone for two

11:53 - 11:56

anti-inflammatories and green tea

11:55 - 11:58

extract that's actually a third

11:56 - 11:59

anti-inflammatory and the beauty about

11:58 - 12:01

green tea is also helps with

11:59 - 12:02

hyperpigmentation so it's a beautiful

12:01 - 12:04

ingredient and she's put in sodium

12:02 - 12:06

hydrate so sodium hydrate is not my

12:04 - 12:09

favorite um humon but it's a very

12:06 - 12:11

powerful humant I actually really love

12:09 - 12:13

this formula well done I would say go

12:11 - 12:16

for the 5% of course over the 10% this

12:13 - 12:18

is a no-brainer purchase at$ 5.99 rupees

12:16 - 12:19

12:23 - 12:27

and ask me your skincare questions

12:25 - 12:29

moving on to

12:27 - 12:30

minimalist they are always solid with

12:29 - 12:32

the top of their packaging I don't know

12:30 - 12:34

what glue they use I could never get in

12:32 - 12:37

there hold on give me a second we're in

12:34 - 12:39

we are in okay can I say one really cool

12:37 - 12:41

thing that be and R do is this I have

12:39 - 12:42

not seen anybody else do this so first

12:41 - 12:43

of all they've got the inner carton

12:42 - 12:45

which I love this is what makes it

12:43 - 12:47

slightly more expensive actually this is

12:45 - 12:48

it just means that the outside is solid

12:47 - 12:51

and doesn't look kind of crinkled which

12:48 - 12:53

a lot of products from India can look

12:51 - 12:55

because if the paper is too thin that's

12:53 - 12:57

what ends up happening so what we do is

12:55 - 12:58

we create a second inner card not many

12:57 - 13:01

people do this because it adds extra

12:58 - 13:03

cost a really cool thing she's done oh

13:01 - 13:07

sorry not she the founders have done is

13:03 - 13:09

um these quotes from Mother Teresa mad

13:07 - 13:11

Mandi Del Lama all talking about

13:09 - 13:13

transparency and that really is their

13:11 - 13:16

ethos I think that's so cool such a

13:13 - 13:18

little extra thing that they've done

13:16 - 13:21

beautiful and this is what it looks like

13:18 - 13:21

so again they've gone for the pipet

13:24 - 13:28

situation okay again very similar

13:26 - 13:30

formulas all of them are blending in

13:28 - 13:32

very

13:30 - 13:34

similar actually less smell than

13:32 - 13:37

everything else I've seen so far

13:34 - 13:39

today yeah I say actually no fragrance

13:37 - 13:41

at all and I would say their packaging

13:39 - 13:43

is probably the easiest to read There

13:41 - 13:44

are a few bits about minimalist that I

13:43 - 13:47

love I love that they basically tell you

13:44 - 13:48

how to use it in order they also tell

13:47 - 13:50

you little things like what it works

13:48 - 13:53

best with cuz often we find layering

13:50 - 13:55

very difficult and little things like

13:53 - 13:58

why is it this the best why is why is it

13:55 - 14:00

special what it does and then the hero

13:58 - 14:02

ingredients they just make it really

14:00 - 14:04

clear everything's in black and white

14:02 - 14:07

short sentences gets to the point they

14:04 - 14:08

know what questions people have so yeah

14:07 - 14:10

I'm just I'm a really big fan of

14:08 - 14:12

minimalist and I'm going to be doing a

14:10 - 14:14

huge video for you on every minimalist

14:12 - 14:16

product I've literally purchased every

14:14 - 14:17

single product and I will be making that

14:16 - 14:19

video for you before we do that though

14:17 - 14:20

let me tell you what's in this product

14:19 - 14:22

so first of all I don't like obviously

14:20 - 14:24

10% we want to be going with a 5% and

14:22 - 14:26

they do have a 5% version so purchase

14:24 - 14:28

that one what I love is got aloe vera

14:26 - 14:30

juice as a first ingredient that's a

14:28 - 14:32

very different and that means they've

14:30 - 14:33

gone for an very anti-inflammatory

14:32 - 14:35

formulas so it's going to be good for

14:33 - 14:37

sensitive skin they put in Ni cinnamide

14:35 - 14:39

of course they're emolient humectant and

14:37 - 14:40

then their preservatives uh it's a very

14:39 - 14:42

simple formula but it's an

14:40 - 14:45

anti-inflammatory formula and I really

14:42 - 14:48

like it recommend it moving on to the

14:45 - 14:50

ordinary so not really much to say about

14:48 - 14:53

this I think you guys know by now these

14:50 - 14:56

were the OG nide

14:53 - 14:58

people who made n cide so famous I

14:56 - 14:59

remember I did a video about four years

14:58 - 15:01

ago on this particular product the or

14:59 - 15:04

know ninite that I think that video Hit

15:01 - 15:05

millions of views because it was such a

15:04 - 15:08

viral ingredient at the time now

15:05 - 15:10

everybody knows about ni cide but my

15:08 - 15:12

advice on this has not changed it's

15:10 - 15:15

still 10% it is a fragrance no no don't

15:12 - 15:16

go 10% this is nafe safe brand anyway

15:15 - 15:18

they don't use fragrance or essential

15:16 - 15:20

oils in this um and it's again a very

15:18 - 15:23

simple formula is water nicomide then

15:20 - 15:25

it's got emoon they put in zinc which is

15:23 - 15:25

anti-inflammatory that's pretty much it

15:25 - 15:29

just

15:25 - 15:31

thickeners and Y so I like it but I feel

15:29 - 15:32

like nowadays we've got more options

15:31 - 15:34

probably at cheaper price as well for

15:32 - 15:36

you so it probably isn't going to be my

15:34 - 15:38

first choice for you anymore and it is

15:36 - 15:40

at 10% we do have a couple more products

15:38 - 15:42

that have just arrived in the post so

15:40 - 15:44

I'm going to go through those quickly

15:42 - 15:45

with you but also a couple more that you

15:44 - 15:47

guys wanted me to do one was from the

15:45 - 15:50

dermo one was from foxtail and one was

15:47 - 15:51

for hyphen golden hour so I'm going to

15:50 - 15:53

run through those as well I don't have

15:51 - 15:54

the those products with me but I will

15:53 - 15:57

tell you whether the what the

15:54 - 15:59

ingredients this say this is a n one uh

15:57 - 16:01

and I I'm just going to go read

15:59 - 16:03

literally do this live with you so it's

16:01 - 16:05

purified waterers as a first ingredient

16:03 - 16:07

then nicomide which makes sense at 10%

16:05 - 16:09

10% I don't like they've put in propine

16:07 - 16:11

glycol that's your hemant glycerin

16:09 - 16:13

another htin Alpha arbutin excellent

16:11 - 16:15

that's your tyrosinase inhibitor this

16:13 - 16:17

looks at 1% this is about 1% so it's in

16:15 - 16:20

the therapeutic index I like it then

16:17 - 16:22

zinc so you know it's at 1% and anything

16:20 - 16:25

else I put phoxy ethanol that's the

16:22 - 16:27

preservative bit a tiny bit of Ura small

16:25 - 16:30

amount which is anti-inflammatory so

16:27 - 16:33

yeah it's quite a simple formula oh very

16:30 - 16:34

interesting what is this oh hello oh

16:33 - 16:38

they've done the same thing as the other

16:34 - 16:38

guys haven't they okay

16:40 - 16:46

so interesting do like interesting

16:43 - 16:47

packaging oh hello what's going on here

16:46 - 16:50

oh

16:47 - 16:53

no I am so rubbish when it comes to

16:50 - 16:56

opening packaging oh my

16:53 - 17:00

goodness I just want it to be

16:56 - 17:04

easy this is not easy guys

17:00 - 17:07

this feels a bit like unnecessary effort

17:04 - 17:07

levels oh dear lord ah okay we're in

17:07 - 17:11

we're

17:07 - 17:15

in oh dear okay here we

17:11 - 17:17

go okay so it's coming out quite

17:15 - 17:22

clear kind of

17:17 - 17:22

goopy all right H penetrating

17:25 - 17:28

nicely yeah not an offensive smell

17:27 - 17:31

nothing crazy about the smell just a

17:28 - 17:34

closed nicely why is it oh why is

17:31 - 17:36

it oh gosh okay there we go now all Clos

17:34 - 17:39

all right let's have a look so we uh the

17:36 - 17:42

formula is actually decent uh just other

17:39 - 17:45

than the 10% nide which should really be

17:42 - 17:48

at 5% so n if you guys literally remade

17:45 - 17:49

this go for something that's not a pipet

17:48 - 17:51

because everyone's doing pip pet you

17:49 - 17:52

should not be doing pipet you need to do

17:51 - 17:56

something that's product going in One

17:52 - 17:58

Direction uh no no back wash basically

17:56 - 18:00

and keep it at 5% then it'll be a

17:58 - 18:01

fantastic product as it is I would

18:00 - 18:04

probably just dilute this down with your

18:01 - 18:06

moisturizer and apply it that way moving

18:04 - 18:08

on to wish care it's a very interesting

18:06 - 18:10

formula they said that this one is for

18:08 - 18:13

oily acne prone skin and I can see why

18:10 - 18:16

first of all they're G with 12% nide

18:13 - 18:19

very high this really is for very acne

18:16 - 18:23

prone skin and one that is also not

18:19 - 18:25

irritated because at this percentage you

18:23 - 18:27

know 12% you can lead to more irritation

18:25 - 18:29

some interesting things and they put 2%

18:27 - 18:31

zinc because that's anti-inflamm they've

18:29 - 18:33

also put in serum which is great cuz for

18:31 - 18:34

skin of color we have less serum we

18:33 - 18:37

actually need more they've put in wheat

18:34 - 18:40

germ and they've put in green tea

18:37 - 18:43

extract and which is your tyros

18:40 - 18:46

inhibitor and it's also a skin Soother

18:43 - 18:48

panthenol which is also a skin Soo I can

18:46 - 18:50

see what they've tried to do try to be a

18:48 - 18:52

bit different actually by going with the

18:50 - 18:54

12% rather than the standard 10% I would

18:52 - 18:58

just say take care with this product cuz

18:54 - 19:02

it can lead to irritation at this level

18:58 - 19:02

oh it's coming out clear

19:04 - 19:08

nice very thin on the skin which is

19:07 - 19:11

going to be important actually if you

19:08 - 19:15

have acne I believe they put they put in

19:11 - 19:15

something to absorb oil wheat gem

19:15 - 19:20

extract yeah there's no smell with this

19:18 - 19:23

I actually really like this formula if

19:20 - 19:25

you are looking for something that is a

19:23 - 19:26

higher N cinnamide I would actually

19:25 - 19:28

recommend this it's also a na safe

19:26 - 19:30

product but just generally I would

19:28 - 19:32

wouldn't recommend something quite so

19:30 - 19:33

high as this it's only if you're

19:32 - 19:35

specifically looking for it that I'd

19:33 - 19:38

recommend it so you've also asked me to

19:35 - 19:40

look at the dermaco 5% nicomide I

19:38 - 19:42

actually don't have that serum here with

19:40 - 19:43

me I'll I'll pop it up on the screen for

19:42 - 19:46

you but let me go through the inky l so

19:43 - 19:48

it's water 5% nicomide alpha arbutin

19:46 - 19:49

excellent so that's for your

19:48 - 19:52

pigmentation that's actually quite

19:49 - 19:54

similar to what Nik has done it's got

19:52 - 19:55

your emolion and preservatives and it's

19:54 - 19:57

nafe safe so no denat alcohol no

19:55 - 19:58

fragrance no essential oils so that's

19:57 - 20:01

actually quite good for brightening the

19:58 - 20:02

skin and the nides at the right level

20:01 - 20:04

I'd say it's slightly better than the

20:02 - 20:06

Nik one just because it's at 5% not at

20:04 - 20:08

10% but actually a lot of the other

20:06 - 20:11

actives are very similar but also need

20:08 - 20:14

to disclose I have a collaboration with

20:11 - 20:17

the dero with the whole renew range so I

20:14 - 20:19

love these guys and I generally don't

20:17 - 20:22

review their products because you know I

20:19 - 20:23

love the whole company I love the owners

20:22 - 20:25

you know they really did make my dreams

20:23 - 20:27

come true when I came to India I

20:25 - 20:29

struggled to review them because I love

20:27 - 20:31

them but this is such a good product

20:29 - 20:34

that it's hard to say anything other

20:31 - 20:37

than that next product is fox tail so

20:34 - 20:39

it's 5% Nomi it's 436 repe so at very

20:37 - 20:42

good price so the key ingredients are

20:39 - 20:44

just literally water imoan nide the only

20:42 - 20:46

downside with this product is it's not a

20:44 - 20:48

Nave safe product it contains fragrance

20:46 - 20:50

so even though it's cheap and it's a

20:48 - 20:53

simple formula they made a really big

20:50 - 20:55

mistake with u making by putting

20:53 - 20:59

fragrance in so for me that one's a no

20:55 - 21:01

the last one is hyphen golden app 649

20:59 - 21:04

rupees this is quitty sanon's product

21:01 - 21:07

and so I can't even tell you how many of

21:04 - 21:08

you have asked me to review her line so

21:07 - 21:10

I've literally gotten and purchased

21:08 - 21:11

every single product of hers it was a

21:10 - 21:14

non-sponsored channel and I will give

21:11 - 21:15

you honest opinions but I don't have it

21:14 - 21:17

here with me yet but I will just tell

21:15 - 21:19

you about the nide serum because we're

21:17 - 21:20

doing that video today if you guys want

21:19 - 21:23

me to do H can you write the word h

21:20 - 21:26

below and um I will get that bumped up

21:23 - 21:28

on the list of filming cuz filming is a

21:26 - 21:31

whole thing in itself today I think

21:28 - 21:33

we've done vitamin C vitamin A

21:31 - 21:35

niacinamide already plus I'm doing retin

21:33 - 21:37

alahh just for today okay so let's go

21:35 - 21:38

through the ingredients list water which

21:37 - 21:41

is a universal solvent that's fine

21:38 - 21:43

propylene glycol which is your hant so

21:41 - 21:44

it holds water in the top lay skin

21:43 - 21:46

that's very good she's put in propen

21:44 - 21:48

dial then aloe which is your

21:46 - 21:50

anti-inflammatory and glycerin which is

21:48 - 21:52

another humant so she's made this

21:50 - 21:54

actually a very hydrating product so

21:52 - 21:56

that makes sense the seventh ingredient

21:54 - 21:59

in here is nin amide so it's at 2% and I

21:56 - 22:01

like that cuz it's in the 2 to 5% range

21:59 - 22:03

she's putting Alpha arbutin after hyon

22:01 - 22:05

acid don't forget hyon acid we usually

22:03 - 22:08

use at a fraction of a percent which

22:05 - 22:10

means Alpha arbutin is less than that uh

22:08 - 22:12

so unlikely to get really much a

22:10 - 22:13

brightening effect from this serum I do

22:12 - 22:15

like that it contains peptides and I

22:13 - 22:17

also like that it's an Airless pump and

22:15 - 22:20

that it's naif safe so I'd say it's a

22:17 - 22:22

decent nin amide serum and it's at a

22:20 - 22:24

good price you're probably not going to

22:22 - 22:25

be getting much other brightening effect

22:24 - 22:28

other than what you're getting from the

22:25 - 22:30

ninite and the humant cuz she's gone in

22:28 - 22:31

hard with the with the hydrators so the

22:30 - 22:34

water magnets and that will

22:31 - 22:35

automatically give you that sort of dewy

22:34 - 22:37

finish now you know about the best or

22:35 - 22:41

worst niniz on NAA learn how to get

Investigating Niacinamide Serums: A Comprehensive Review

In this informative video, Dr. Venita Ratan delves into the world of Niacinamide serums, exploring the best and worst options available on the market. As a renowned doctor and cosmetic formulator specializing in skin of color, Dr. Ratan shares her expertise on Niacinamide, a powerhouse ingredient for various skin concerns. Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, has a plethora of benefits, including pore minimization, oil control, inflammation reduction, and hyperpigmentation treatment.

Understanding Niacinamide: The Skin's Best Friend

Unveiling the Product Reviews

Dr. Ratan meticulously reviews several Niacinamide serums from popular brands like WeEqual, Deconstruct, Plum, Suganda, Minimalist, and The Ordinary. She critiques each product based on its formulation, Niacinamide concentration, additional ingredients, and packaging quality. While some brands excel in formulating Niacinamide serums with the right balance of ingredients, others fall short by either using incorrect concentrations or including harmful additives like fragrances.

Dr. Ratan highlights the significance of choosing Niacinamide serums with Nave-safe formulations, devoid of harmful chemicals like denatured alcohol and synthetic fragrances. She also emphasizes the importance of considering complementary ingredients like peptides and humectants that enhance Niacinamide's efficacy and overall skin benefits.
