  Pros

  • Despite its high concentration, the ingredient formulation seems stable. 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.

  Pros

  Here's my review after 6 months of use. 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.

  Cons

  The 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.

  Pros

  I'm so satisfied with the 10% that I use the 20% only at night. Even though I have sensitive skin, I've adapted to the 10% and can use it without any irritation. Compared to the 10%, this makes my skin feel firmer and more hydrated. I've heard that the formulation is more important than the concentration, and the fact that there's no irritation despite the high concentration makes me trust Paula's Choice even more.

  Cons

  The rich texture might cause pilling if used as a base before makeup during the day.

  Tip

  It pairs well with retinol or pure vitamin C.
