While I'm satisfied with all Hwahae products, this one is particularly highly recommended. I've tried many niacinamide products, but this one has no irritation according to my standards, and it leaves my skin plump and firm, like applying a concentrated ampoule. I've recommended it to all my acquaintances, and they're all satisfied with using it.
ConsThere are no particular shortcomings, but when the courage is used up, the last remaining one is turned over and shaken out... Yet, it seems a little is left, so it's a pity.

Even though I have sensitive skin, I've adapted well to the 10% and can use it without any skin irritation. Compared to the 10%, my skin feels a bit more supple and hydrated. I've heard that the formulation is more important than the concentration, and the lack of skin irritation despite the high concentration has made me trust Paulas Choice even more.
ConsThe rich texture may cause makeup to cake when using it as a daytime base.
TipIt pairs well with retinol or pure vitamin C. 👍🏻

It's so great, I want to keep using it.
ConsFor a 20ml size... the price is extremely exorbitant. I wish the price was a bit more affordable.

ConsThe price... is too expensive. You should stock up when there's a sale event.

ConsAfter application, the hair sticks to my face, which is a bit annoying. I'm on my second bottle, but I'm still not sure about the effectiveness. As it's best to use products consistently, I'll continue using it.

Compared to the lower concentration one that left my skin dry, this one is more moisturizing and plump!
ConsHowever, I think expecting it to be good just because it's a higher concentration was a mistake. I should have carefully checked the formulation and concentration that suits my skin, but instead the higher concentration one ended up being more irritating and caused me to break out.
TipIf anyone else is having trouble, I'd recommend trying the Cosrx Niacinamide 20% Zinc 4% Ampoule. I switched to this and it's been so much better!!! Also highly recommend the Rize Niacinamide Serum, it has 20% niacinamide plus panthenol.

This product actually improves the overall condition of my skin.
ConsThe price is too expensive. The volume is only 20ml, but the price is almost double that of other products. Even with discounts, it's still not very affordable.

The previous version was a water-based formula, right? This is an essence formula, and after applying it, the skin feels pleasantly taut.
ConsThe price and performance - I've been using the previous version, but to be honest, I'm not sure about the performance. It feels like my expectations might have been too high, but I'm not sure if I'm getting the same dramatic pore-related effects as some other people.
TipI'm using it together with the Izenix Radiance Treatment, and it's great. My face has become really moisturized.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI originally found niacinamide to be quite effective for me. While it doesn't exactly 'whiten' the skin, it does make the complexion appear more supple and improve dullness. And for those with non-dry skin types or in non-dry weather, using this alone before bed seems to be sufficient. I would consider repurchasing this product.
ConsThe price is just too... steep. The effects aren't dramatically life-changing, but I do notice some benefits. However, the high price tag makes me hesitant to repurchase.
TipWhen I apply this before bed, my skin feels more plump and smooth the next day.
