I used benonite clay mixed with apple cider vinegar to cure my chronically stinky pits. It worked! I’m now able to use natural deodorant.

In reply to Gaby. Also, I originally bought the one for eczema when I first developed it and struggling with steroid cream. Like the other person commented, Aveeno eczema lotion saved me!

I bought the wrong Aveeno lotion recently. It was like night day compared to the last one I had. The ingredients looked the same except for their active ingredients: the one that I loved listed colloidal oatmeal as active ingredient and the other one listed dimethicone. The one with colloidal oatmeal is marketed specifically for eczema and is a bit more expensive.

Comment on How To Add Niacinamide To Your Skincare Routine by Tessa

Hello Gio, thanks for the great post! I love this product too. In terms of nighttime application, I generally apply the Niacinamide Booster booster first (to bare skin), followed by Finacea (azaliac acid gel), then moisturizer. Should I actually be applying the Finacea first, followed by the Booster? The Booster is so watery, I figured it was a good first step. Cheers

Comment on The Art Of Layering Serums: Why And How To Do It by Marcia Landman

Hi, Gio. Thank you for the blog! It’s clear and informative. You talk about layering serums. Drunk Elephant likes to recommend what they call smoothies, basically putting a few drops of several serums in your hand, rubbing your palms together and smoothing it all on at once. Any thoughts on this method vs one at a time, assuming they all seem to be of roughly similar texture/weight? To be specific, in the mornings, after cleansing, spot treating acne with Effaclear Duo and using Clinique Acne Solutuons Clearing Cleansing Gel (BHA) on the areas prone to breaking out, I put a couple of drops each of DE C-Firma, DE B-Hydra, TO Niacinamide 10% and Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus* in my hand, mix it up and smooth it on. Then moisturizer. * I do not understand exactly what this product is or why it works, all I know is that my skin looks brighter and clearer when I use it. I’d love to see you review it, just because I’m curious about exactly what it is. Thanks!
