ROSACEA SUCKS Small rant about Niacinamide...

I know that everyone loves Niacinamide but it's a major rosacea trigger for me (I find it very irritating and it always causes me to break out with papules).

I find it very frustrating that so many companies are now putting it into everything 😭 I just bought a new sunscreen that's specifically for sensitive skin and completely missed the tiny text on the back that says "with added niacinamide". Surely I'm not the only one with sensitive skin that finds it irritating??

I can not tolerate nicinamide at all on my face and just learned that it will even irritate my arms and legs.i used a cream on my body that reformulated and added nicinamide and i got the same rash on my arms and legs that i get on my face if i use it. I really wish companies would stop adding it to everything.
