Can I mix The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide Powder with oil? What about a cleanser?
Niacinamide is a water-soluble powder, and thus you may find that the efficacy is reduced when mixed with an oil, rather than a water-based solution. Additionally, you may find it difficult to dissolve, giving it an unpleasant gritty texture.
While this could mix well with a water-based cleanser, it is intended as a leave-on solution, so you won’t experience the same benefits as when mixing with a water-based base product.
How is The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide Powder different to The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum?
This powder does not contain Zinc PCA as the serum does, making it suitable for those who may have an intolerance to Zinc PCA.
More importantly, this formulation and fully customisable approach to Niacinamide means that one can personalise their usage based on their preferences, and on their own skin tolerance. Additionally, as this serum can be mixed with other products, its possible to tailor one skincare step to address multiple skin concerns.
How much The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide Powder should I use?
We recommend ¼ of a teaspoon, which, when mixed with approximately four drops of a base will yield a 10-15% concentration of niacinamide. The minimum efficacious concentration is 2.5%, so this 10-15% could be considered a strong dose.
We wouldn’t recommend exceeding this, as you may find it difficult to dissolve the niacinamide into your mixing fluid, and concentrations of 30% or higher could leave an undesirable white residue on the skin once dry.
Mix a quarter scoop of the spoon provided with a water-based treatment in the palm of your hand and apply to the face AM or PM. Avoid contact with eyes, if contact occurs rinse thoroughly with water. Wash hands after handling. Do not mix with formulations with a pH of 5 or lower.
