Mixing GlucoBright (N-acetyl glucosamine) Powder with Niacinamide Serum
Question
I ordered GlucoBright (N-acetyl glucosamine) powder but haven't paid yet. I want to know if I can mix it with my existing Niacinamide serum (30ml). If yes, how much should I use?
Answer
Mixing GlucoBright and Niacinamide Serum
Yes, you can mix GlucoBright (N-acetyl glucosamine) with your existing Niacinamide serum. In fact, N-acetyl glucosamine and Niacinamide are known to work synergistically, meaning they enhance each other's benefits when used together.
Benefits of the Combination
Combining GlucoBright and Niacinamide can help to:
- Improve skin brightness and reduce hyperpigmentation (dark spots).
- Stimulate the skin's natural production of Hyaluronic Acid, leading to improved hydration and reduced fine lines.
- Strengthen the skin barrier.
- Help reduce acne breakouts.
Recommended Usage and Mixing
The recommended usage rate for GlucoBright is typically 1-8%. For optimal results when combined with Niacinamide, a concentration of around 4% GlucoBright is often suggested, used with 2-4% Niacinamide.
Since you have 30ml of Niacinamide serum, to achieve a 4% concentration of GlucoBright, you would add approximately 1.2 grams of GlucoBright powder to your 30ml serum. Ensure the powder is fully dissolved by stirring or shaking well.
Always perform a patch test before applying the mixture to your entire face.
