"The problem is that most clinical studies are done between 2 to 5% but The Ordinary only produces 10% Niacinamide. So a little trick I have is with your moisturizer mix in a few drops of your niacinamide so it actually works quite well. It does penetrate into the skin and you're getting the correct percentage."

"The Ordinary's 10% Niacinamide is a good inexpensive option. 10% may be a little bit too high for niacinamide, as most studies have been done at 5%, but I think a lot of people tolerate that one pretty well."
