Skin is itching due to Niacinamide

Is this part of purging or should I discontinue my use :( But it’s really good in moisturizing my skin

Which niacimide serum did you use? Some people cannot tolerate more than 5% Niacinamide serum because it causes contact dermatitis

It’s only 2% it is incorporated on a moisturizer and serum which is 2% also, so basically I used both :(

Itching is usually irritation from allergy 😕

☹️ I think I should discontinue it, I gave it 3 days if my skin would still react to it and it still did.

Which niacinamide product are you using, and what’s the concentration? • It could be the concentration. • It could be skin sensitivity from underlying conditions like rosacea or eczema. • It could be other ingredients in the product, like fragrance. • It might be an initial reaction or a rare allergy. If the itching persists, consult a dermatologist. Try not to scratch your skin. 🫶
