Review: What The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Does To Combination Skin Like Me!

Hye beauties! Dah lama sangat ni tak buat review. Hari ni baru pikir nak buat alang-alang dah buka laptop. Blog tak rajin nak update sebab aku malas nak taip. Tak rajin. Aku pulak kerja bukan menaip sangat so aku jarang buka laptop satu, aku dah jadi lembab menaip pun satu hihi. Ada beberapa hari tu aku buat vlog kat youtube. Dah dapat idea nak buat content cemana kat youtube then dah tau nak edit tu yang rajin aku buat vlog. Meh ler tengok youtube kita, just click dekat link ni https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN_UweBIJIA&t=144s dia akan direct terus kat my latest vlog ;)

So! Hari ni rasa nak review satu product yang aku suka gila!! Buat si cantik manis yang ada kulit berminyak macam aku memang sangat sesuai. Aku sebenarnya combination skin but more to oily side. I can still feel the dry skin tapi tak selalu. Produk ni daripada The Ordinary Niacinamide. Sape-sape yang baru nak pakai, baru nak cari review sama ada this product good or not, trust me this is very good for you. The best so far! 

For beginners, jangan risau walaupun dia ada niacinamide sebanyak 10% but it wont irritate or purge your skin. Macam aku dulu mula-mula nak pakai acid on skin risau sikit la, ramai yang purging la dry la. Tapi kena tau kita ada bermacam-macam jenis skin condition. Semua orang tak sama skin condition. Sebab tu dekat watsons berlambak-lambak jenis skincare untuk sesuaikan dengan skin kita yang berbagai keadaan. We just need to try. So in this case, walaupun aku takut nak pakai acid tapi aku try jelah. After i read what niacinamide does to oily skin like me, the urge to buy this tiny little fella is so hard to resist!

Kita start dengan kebaikan niacinamide. Niacinamide ni membantu untuk kawal sebum kulit. Sebab tu i changed my mind and memang nakkkk sangat beli ni. Okay my review about this sebum control is it doesn't control the oiliness that much. Aku still berminyak juga muka BUT...lagi satu benefits dia, dia anti-acne. Walau pun aku still berminyak tapi niacinamide ni dia buat kerja dia that is it reduces sebum kulit dan benda tu membantu utk kurangkan jerawat, tak menyebabkan pori-pori tersumbat and serius, jujur jarang sangat keluar jerawat. Pernah satu ketika tu aku dah habis sebotol ni tapi aku malas nak beli so biar je pakai skincare yang lain. Bila tak pakai rasa lain tau. Rasa muka sendu je, kusam tak tau nak cakap camna kusam dia. Tak ada seri. Kulit tak smooth. Kat sini dah start naik jerawat. Tak tau apa nama jerawat dia tapi tinggal parut lama jugak la jerawat tu. Bila jerawat dah pecah, berparut lah muka aku. Jadi tak cantik tau. Aku pun macam dah sedar kebaikan niacinamide terus aku beli botol baru.

Untuk beginners baru nak pakai memang akan rasa benda ni macam tak function. Aku pun tak sure berapa tahun dah pakai tapi aku rasa dalam 4 botol atau ke atas. Mula-mula memang macam alahai lambatnya nak tunjuk keberkesanan dia. Tapi trust me, selagi kulit tak ada reaction teruk lepas bubuh niacinamide ni selagi tu lah keep on using this. Melainkan korang ada bad reaction, kulit sensitif lepas pakai ni haa tu better stop. Kena sabar nak tengok hasil dia. Ni pun baru hari tu sejak aku malas beli balik baru sedar dia punya benefit kat muka kita. Memang jarang sangat jerawat. Oily skin ni kan memang prone to acne. So niacinamide ni memang membantu utk kawal sebum kulit daripada terjadi pori tersumbat dan seterusnya mengelakkan pertumbuhan jerawat. Dan dia dapat juga cerahkan parut jerawat aku tapi dibantu dengan produk lain, aku guna bio-oil sambil tu letak niacinamide so dia jadi cerah sikit parut tu. 

Dia banyak lagi benefits dia. Yang aku faham dekat sini dia dapat cerahkan parut atau yang ada pigmentation, bagus untuk kurangkan kedutan anti-aging, bagus untuk kulit sensitif dan kulit kemerahan, dan sebagai booster lapisan kulit kita untuk kulit lebih smooth and hydrated. Aku rasa everyone should have this in one of your skincare routine. Dia memang sesuai for all skin types baik dry skin, oily and combination. Someone also said that niacinamide partners well with retinoids. So maybe i'm going to find retinoids after this. Hehe. So far, ni lah skincare yang aku tak putus-putus pakai. Maybe stick kat botol ni je and i hope it does wonder for your skin too. Down here i include my skin condition during the niacinamide application. Thanks for reading! :)

Proper & New Skincare Routine

Heeloo. Just straight to the point, today I'm going to share my skincare routine. This is newly changed from the past routine. I think this one is proper routine that you can follow.

_________________________________________________________

Alrite! First, for cleanser i'm still using Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser. My holy grail. I don wanna change it for any other cleansers. This one is good for me and the best.

Next, for toner I'm using from 2 different brands which are Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner and Hada Labo Gokujyun Blemish & Oil Hydrating Lotion.

Sometimes i use both at the same time, and sometimes i just use each one of them. I have tried Klairs for about a week or 2 weeks. My thoughts on this toner are of course i like it. The consistency of the product is quite thick compared to any toners, but its good tho. Your skin feels moisturized and hydrated. It absorbs super quick! No worries if you have an oily skin. Anddd, this toner has a smell. Smell like herbs. You might not gonna love it but its ok with me tho. I'm fine with it. I put this on sometimes with my palms and sometimes with cotton pad.

Now, let's hear about Hada Labo. I don know what to say because i dont think im gonna like it. Because it has an unpleasant smell. Smell like a very strong herbs in it. The consistency is watery. Dont use this product using a cotton pad, just use your palms instead. The finishing feeling when  put this on, i kinda think that it make my skin feels a little dry even though i'm an oily skin. But its ok. Its fine tho. 

After that, i put on this serum from The Ordinary (TO) Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. Thank god this serum didn't make my skin dry because i heard a lot this one makes your skin dry. Ok, I'm not saying I'm loving it or I'm hating it....it just fine. Niacinamide is good if your concerns are having acne scars and dark spot. I guess it did rid of my scars because my skin is so clean & clear! I almost ran out of this serum so my next planning is i think i'm gonna buy another bottle of niacinamide & new bottle of glycolic acid. I'm gonna use them both to full glowingness!!!! 

Last step is, moisturizer from Pink by Pure Beauty Pudding Cream. It is soooo good with oily skin. Dont use much because a little goes a long way. Save your moisturizer. Dont use too much. 

The finishing feeling is very hydrated and moisturized on your skin. Makes your skin glow and smooth. I love it.

That's all folks for my skincare routine! Don't forget cleanser, toner & moisturizer are the basic skincare step you have to follow. Don't skip any of that. I have said this before that toner & moisturizer are not important if you have oily skin. Actually its important. I'm sorry my bad...don't listen to me on my past. HAHA
