The downside is that for those with dry skin, this product alone might not be enough moisture. It's best to layer it with another serum (one that's rich in oils or hydration) for better results.

When you use this product, you can quickly feel your skin texture improving and becoming noticeably smoother.

클리니컬 나이아신아마이드 20% 트리트먼트

20ml에 6만원 넘으니 돈이 아쉽지요. 가성비템은 아니에요. 오로지 성능만 보고 사용하는 템.

샘플 사용
혹시 자극적일까봐 얼굴에는 수분세럼에 2~3방울 섞어서 쓰고 목에는 바로 써봤어요. 근데 신기한게 하나도 자극적이지 않아요. 어떤 성분이어도 고농도이기만 하면 좀 조심하는데요. 진짜 이상하게 20%나 되는 고농도인데 그냥 세럼 마냥 너무 편해요. 검색하고나니 나이아신 아마이드가 지성추천? 이란 말이 좀 보이네요.

쓰고나서 그런건지 좀 얼굴이 환해보이는 느낌이 들길래 효과는 좀 있는 것 같아요. 쓰고 있는 제품들이 너무 많아서 바로 본품을 데려올 순 없지만 언젠가 한번은 데려올 것 같아요.

🍯 Olive Young occasionally offers sets with a mini Paula's Choice BHA Liquid. That's the best time to buy!
🍯 The brand's official smart store and website often have sales too!!! Create an account to stay updated and stock up during discount periods
🍯 Don't toss the bottle when you think it's empty. Remove the stopper with plastic tweezers to use every last drop from the bottom

🖤 It's so expensive... I can only afford it during sales
🖤 It stings on freshly popped pimples or open wounds
🖤 Pore shrinking? Not sure. But they definitely don't get bigger. It seems to maintain pore size
🖤 Does it brighten skin? Nope. Does it darken skin? Also nope. It just maintains your natural complexion. As someone with a light skin tone, I don't notice any brightening effect. (This isn't necessarily a downside for me, just FYI for Hwahae users)

Quick review: On my 5th bottle and counting!

Skin type: Sensitive, dehydrated, extremely oily (worse in fall/winter), acne scars + small bumps, prone to redness when irritated, large pores in T-zone
I don't give 5 stars unless it's truly worth my money

❤️ The morning after using this, when I wash my face, my skin feels incredibly soft and supple... It's truly a game-changer. I'm on my fifth bottle of this serum.
❤️ Despite its high concentration, it caused no irritation even on my ultra-sensitive skin!!
❤️ Rather than directly treating acne, it significantly improves skin texture
❤️ It reduces post-acne hyperpigmentation! While it can't erase existing dark spots, any new blemishes that clear up while using this product leave little to no discoloration

While the product is good, it's quite expensive. I'm considering switching to an alternative if one becomes available.

It contains 20% niacinamide and doesn't pill, which is great.

유일한 단점은 가격이에요.
그치만 효과가 좋아서 가치있다고생각합니다

인생템입니다.
뾰루지 흔적 굉장히 빠른속도로 없애줍니다.
고함량이라 걱정했는데, 특별히 나이아신과 안맞는거아니면 괜찮을듯해요.
잘맞으신분들은 이제품 꼭 써보세요.

I only apply it at night. You shouldn't expose your skin to UV rays after using this product.

It's somewhat expensive. I use it thinking the high quality justifies the price.

I can't live without this product anymore!
I stopped using it for a while after finishing two bottles because it's pricey, but my skin texture gradually became rougher.
So I've repurchased it again and again - it's become a staple in my routine.

Since I switched to this from another niacinamide product, I experienced no irritation. However, there's a slight redness if I apply it when my skin is in really bad condition.

Among niacinamide's benefits like firmness, brightening, and pore improvement, I'm not sure about the brightening effects, but I've definitely seen results in terms of firmness and texture improvement. I love it so much!

The main drawback is the price, which seems a bit high for the amount you get. However, I think the effectiveness might justify the cost, so I'm planning to purchase it with my own money next time.

I received this as a sample and gave it a try. I was initially worried about potential skin reactions due to the high concentration of niacinamide, but surprisingly, it turned out to be gentle and had a nice texture. Despite its potency, the formula doesn't feel heavy at all - it's more like a watery essence that absorbs well into the skin! I've only been using it for two days, so I can't say I've seen a dramatic reduction in blemishes yet, but I believe with consistent use, it should help even out my complexion.

Due to its high concentration, it caused blemishes and my skin reacted badly. However, mixing it with another product worked fine.

As it's a high-concentration product, I experienced blemishes when using it alone on bare skin. Now I mix it in a 1:1 ratio with another serum for application.

No significant drawbacks. The only minor disappointment was its surprisingly small size compared to other brands, especially considering I ordered it as part of a free shipping deal.

Despite containing niacinamide, it has a remarkably light texture without any heaviness. The formula is slightly lighter than Dermafactory's niacinamide serum. Compared to Dr. Diffuse's niacinamide, it's noticeably lighter to the point where you can clearly feel the difference.

I noticed an even greater synergistic effect when I used this alongside another brand's Vitamin C serum.

Even with my oily skin, I didn't find any major drawbacks. However, it does sting if it comes into contact with any cuts or scrapes.

Though it's pricey, I can visibly see my skin texture improving just by applying this before bed. It's that effective!

The price is a bit steep, so I can't use it as liberally as I'd like. After application, there's a slightly sticky feeling that remains until it's fully absorbed. Because of this, I sometimes skip it on busy mornings. It's not particularly lightweight, so I'll probably only use it in the evenings during summer.

My pores around the nose area were quite enlarged, so I decided to give this product a try. While the effects aren't immediate, after using about half the bottle consistently, I noticed my pores becoming smoother. The prominence of my pores has slightly decreased too. I love that it doesn't cause pilling when I apply makeup, so I use it both morning and night. It works hard to improve skin texture, but you need to pat it in well.
