5 Underrated Skincare Ingredients For Healthy Skin & Slow Aging That Deserve More Hype | Dr. Idriss
"I've talked about Glossier's niacinamide and zinc serum for years, because it has the zinc PCA in it."
Best Serums of 2021 | Dr. Shereene Idriss
"My favorite niacinamide serum hands down is by Glossier. It is their Super Pure Niacinamide serum for twenty-eight dollars. The reason I love it is because they got it right. It is not only within the right percentage range—I think five percent niacinamide—it also has zinc, which helps to calm any sort of irritation. And with niacinamide, it's like the perfect combination, and it has no cast, so I really, really do like this one."
Skincare Ingredients as Zodiac Signs + Best Products! | Dr. Shereene Idriss
"You have to look for niacinamide at five percent. I like this one by Glossier the Super Pure, it's also with zinc which is a great anti-inflammatory so they work well together. This is a nice one. This year you did good."
Tips + Tricks for Dark Spots, Discoloration, Hyperpigmentation, & Melasma | Dr. Shereene Idriss
"For niacinamide, Glossier has their five percent niacinamide mixed with zinc. It is a very good one that also has anti-inflammatory actions because of the zinc."
Teen Skincare Routine | Dr. Shereene Idriss
"The Glossier Super Pure Niacinamide and Zinc Serum is twenty-nine dollars and it is five percent niacinamide. The zinc has some anti-inflammatory properties that will calm redness with acne marks. If you're using niacinamide and exfoliating acid from Starface, you don't need this guy. If you don't have any niacinamide in your routine, then I would say invest in this. I hate the dropper, but you guys are going to feel like you're in chemistry class, so that is fine."
7 Skincare Swaps to Make for Spring! | Dr. Shereene Idriss
"Glossier has one married to zinc, so it can also be calming if you have any irritations or if you're on the tail end of winter trying to heal your skin barrier."
Sephora Sale Top Picks 2023 | Dr. Shereene Idriss
"They also have their Super Pure Clarifying Face Serum with niacinamide and zinc. Five percent zinc is not what you're gonna find in here. You're gonna find five percent niacinamide, but it comes with zinc as well. For 29 dollars, with niacinamide and zinc, this is a good option."
How To Fade Acne Scars: Post Inflammatory Erythema & Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
"If you are trying to treat redness, niacinamide is actually a great ingredient to add. I like this one by Glossier, it is also fortified with zinc which has anti-inflammatory properties."
