I discovered this brand through a YouTuber's recommendation and have been using it for about 2 years. Among the niacinamide products I've tried, this one has the best absorption and doesn't cause any blemishes, so I'm really enjoying it. Effectiveness: I initially started using it for its brightening properties, and I do think it has some effect! When I forgot to apply sunscreen on my neck during summer, I diligently applied this product there, and it seemed to lighten the tan faster. While not dramatic, it's definitely better than using nothing. The most noticeable improvements were in skin texture and sebum control. When used in combination with retinol, my face develops a beautiful glow that follows its contours. I highly recommend the retinol + niacinamide combo - it's why I keep using this despite the price. As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to oily T-zone, I've noticed less sebum buildup since using this product. Texture: It has a water-like consistency with almost no oiliness, which is crucial for combination skin prone to small bumps. It absorbs well and leaves a fresh finish. However, be careful as it can spill easily due to its watery texture - I once accidentally spilled some and it was such a waste! Skin Sensitivity: I have somewhat sensitive skin that often reacts to new products, but this one caused no irritation at all. Value for Money: While it's pricey, I've tried various alternatives and nothing compares. I use it once daily at night, and one bottle lasts about 4 months, so I think of it as investing about $15 per month in my skin care. Note: Paula's Choice offers 10% and 20% niacinamide products. It's recommended to start with the 10% to test and adapt before moving to 20%. I alternate between both. The main difference is that the 20% is slightly thicker and less refreshing after application. I can't really tell the difference in effectiveness.
ConsThe price point is quite steep... Other than that, I don't have any complaints!
TipYou can get it at a better price during duty-free or official website sales.

It's great for blemishes and also excellent for brightening my skin.
ConsIt's expensive... but I still buy it because I need it. I can only afford it when it's on sale though.

I was surprised when I looked in the mirror the next morning. I noticed an improvement in blemishes and a brightening effect.
ConsIt's quite watery and tends to drip off the skin, so you need to quickly pat it in after applying it with the dropper.

To my surprise, it really does brighten my complexion! While it's not as dramatic as professional treatments, I can genuinely feel my skin tone gradually improving over time. It's subtle, but noticeable!
ConsThe product size is disappointingly small. I'm considering switching to a similar product from Isoi that I've seen, which might offer better value.
TipAfter applying, those with dry skin might benefit from layering on a generous amount of moisturizer for best results.

The whitening effect comes from proven ingredients, so it should help with pigmentation.
ConsBe careful, as it might irritate areas with pimples and acne. Use with caution.

I've tried many products in my life, but I've never felt this good about something in such a short time. It's worth every penny. My skin type: enlarged pores + closed comedones + cystic acne + combination dehydrated skin + rough texture. Amazingly, after just 3 days of use, my skin texture became incredibly smooth. While niacinamide is known for its brightening properties, I think its real strength lies in improving skin texture. It practically erased my skin's unevenness. As someone who used to stress a lot about texture issues, I'm now seeing a glow on my skin! I was shocked when I touched my face while washing. I use it alongside Paula's Choice BHA Liquid 2%, and I think there might be a synergistic effect. Since using this, my skin has become softer, I've noticed fewer whiteheads, and my sebum production has decreased. Despite its water-like consistency, it feels hydrating when absorbed. No residue or pilling!
ConsThe price... However, you can stock up when Paula's Choice has a sale.
TipI think it works well when used with Paula's Choice BHA Liquid 2%. It might be beneficial to try it with a BHA product. Also, don't forget to apply a moisturizer for hydration!

Highly recommended! It really gives the feeling of a much brighter skin tone!
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about it. If I had to say something, maybe the price could be a bit more wallet-friendly? But that's about it!
TipThe texture is very fluid, almost water-like. It's a runny type. I apply it after toning, letting it absorb like an essence, or sometimes I use it before my essence.

First off, I love how the formula absorbs lightly into the skin. As mentioned in the product description, it's perfect for mixing with other serums or moisturizers, which I particularly appreciate. What's more, I've definitely noticed an overall improvement in my complexion, making it brighter. I'm so satisfied that I keep repurchasing this product!
ConsLet's talk about the price... It's really quite steep. I keep buying it because it works, but still... Also, personally, I didn't see much effect when using it as a spot treatment. It seems to be more effective in brightening the overall complexion.
TipTo further reduce irritation, I usually mix it with a hyaluronic acid serum when applying!

I've also been taking a whitening and nourishing supplement, so I think that's adding to the effect. It's so moisturizing and absorbs right in.
ConsThe only downside is the price. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
TipI think it's better to only apply it in the evenings.
