ConsThe 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.
TipFor even better results, try using it alongside Paula's Choice Retinol!

It's that effective!
ConsEven 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.
TipI noticed an even greater synergistic effect when I used this alongside another brand's Vitamin C serum.

You can immediately feel the improvement in skin texture.
ConsThose with super sensitive skin might find it a bit intense.
TipTry mixing it with your emulsion before applying.

It absorbs well and causes less irritation than expected. • I saw improvements in skin texture.
Cons• As time passes after opening, the ampoule color gradually darkens, making me rush to use it up. When applied alone, I end up using too much -> This leads to pilling when applying makeup afterwards. • If you use it repeatedly with short intervals between applications when first starting, it seems to cause irritation.
Tip• During the period of use, chemical exfoliants with acid ingredients seemed to work better than intense physical exfoliation! • For first-time users, gradually increase the amount and frequency of use. As I've used The Ordinary's niacinamide product before, my sensitive skin seemed to adapt quickly.

No blemishes appeared, and I can definitely feel my skin texture improving. I love it so much that I'll keep using it!
ConsIf you have super sensitive skin, you might need to take it slow at first. It tingled a bit when I started using it, so I gradually increased usage from twice a week to three times, then four. Now I don't feel any irritation at all.
TipSince it's said to work better when used with retinol, try applying it together with your retinol product at night!

Those pesky little bumps and inflamed blemishes that popped up after using a harsh shampoo? Completely vanished! My complexion has become clearer, and my skin texture is now silky smooth. I'm nearly on my 7th bottle, and I have to say, the results from using this product have been far more impressive than all the money I've spent on dermatologist visits and aesthetic treatments.
ConsThe scent isn't great, but that's actually a plus - it's fragrance-free, so you're just smelling the raw ingredients. Can't really apply it during the day due to pilling issues. Also, there might be a slight tingling sensation when you first start using it.

ConsIt's incredibly expensive, and the amount you get is frustratingly small.

ConsIt can be irritating when used on sensitive skin. There's a tingling sensation, so I mainly apply it to my T-zone.

I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and U-zone, while the rest is dry. I have mild allergic reactions and focus on caring for pores, skin texture, and blemishes in the butterfly zone. 2. This review is based on using about 10 bottles. This serum made me fall in love with Paula's Choice! I tried it by chance, and by the time I finished the first bottle, I noticed a significant improvement in my pores and skin texture. It sparked my interest in niacinamide, and I've been using it consistently for 2 years now. Although it can be used in a day routine with sunscreen, I only use it in my night routine. The texture feels slightly viscous and leaves a bit of weight on the skin, creating a firm, bouncy feel. However, it doesn't compromise absorption and penetrates well. Make sure to pat it in thoroughly for better absorption. With consistent use, I've definitely seen my cheek pores tighten significantly. My rough texture has smoothed out, my complexion has brightened, and my uneven skin tone has improved a lot. With a 20% niacinamide concentration, which is quite high, those who respond well to this ingredient can really make the most of it.
ConsThe price is a bit steep... It's nearly 70,000 won for 20ml at full price. The price keeps steadily increasing every year, haha! That's why I stock up when it's on sale, only use it in my night routine, but I'll still keep using it.

You know how the previous version with a lower concentration had a watery texture? This one has an essence-like consistency, and after applying it, your skin feels delightfully plump!
ConsThe price and performance are issues for me. I've been using it since the previous version, but honestly, I'm not sure about its effectiveness. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I haven't experienced the dramatic pore-related results that others have mentioned.
TipIt works well when used together with the Isanox Glow Treatment. My face really becomes deeply hydrated.
