If you’re thinking of getting The Ordinary’s 100% Niacinamide or the 100% L-Ascorbic Acid powders or any sort of raw material to mix your own products at home..........just don’t 
Some products need A LOT OF precautions like the TO Peeling Solution, while some products shouldn’t even exist in the first place.
These types from TO are in the latter category. There are too many variables to take into account, even if you’re confident of your measurements.

This is a reckless product from Deciem and I hope people take note and not draw more attention to it 
lets learn from the fiasco that is the TO Peeling Solution, bukannya kasi viral lepastu lepas tangan

WHY YOU SHOULDN’T BUY THE TO 100% NIACINAMIDE POWDER 1. You can’t effectively measure percentages at home, so how do you know how much to put? ‘Agak2’ doesn’t work here.
2. Potential contamination or change in pH.
3. Mixing in raw ingredients can affect the formulation of other products, for example, mixing it with toners/essence, potentially rendering it ineffective or worse, react negatively to other already stable formulations 
4. Why would you spend money to get a tub of raw ingredients...?
Its like mixing in some zinc oxide & tada! sunscreen
when you purchase a product you’re mostly paying for its formulation. In this case dorang jual je powder tu lepastu korang pulak kena formulate sendiri? bye

5. Also, with raw ingredients, I think that the more you expose it to air the less effective it gets so berbaloi ke tak??? Dah la leceh nak bancuh bagai, last2 its only effective in the first few months 
6. Niacinamide won’t cause purging but too much can certainly irritate your skin esp in high percentages.
7. There are too many things to consider and the average consumer, aka you and me, aren’t CHEMISTS.
8. Less is more. 5% might prove more effective for your skin than 20%.

9. Accountability. TO is no longer obliged if you mixed it wrongly/too much/too little/as a scrub/as a mask.
What they did was give you a scoop, which is not even the suggested amount (you still need to agak2 1/4 of the scoop) and they let you ‘formulate’ your own product
