I'm using a routine of skin, lotion, niacinamide serum, and cream, and it absorbs well without any stickiness or heaviness, which I really like. I used to use 10%, and since I switched, I haven't experienced much irritation, and my skin feels a bit more firm and toned after using this.
ConsDue to the high concentration, the bottle opening sometimes has salt crystal-like formations, causing occasional strange pumping.

I used a 15% niacinamide product before, but when I tried this one, it wasn't overly irritating, and my skin felt more supple, which I really liked. It has a slightly tacky texture, but it absorbs well, so it should be suitable for all skin types except for extremely oily.
ConsIt would be great if it could be used as a dropper! The recommended usage is 1-2 pumps, so it needs to be applied in small amounts, but when I applied it to the back of my hand, it started to sting.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsMy skin tone is on the brighter side, but I've been consistently managing the discoloration from acne scars. I started with the Hwahae niacinamide 15 ampoule and have used several bottles, but I don't know the exact number. It worked well for me as it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. However, I recently watched a YouTube video recommending several niacinamide ampoules, and the Derma Factory product seemed to have a good price-to-performance ratio, with positive reviews. To my surprise, it's almost 1/5 the price of the Hwahae one, and the quantity is even larger. I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. The concentration is 20%, higher than the 15% I was using before, so I was a bit concerned about potential irritation. For the first few days, I mixed it with my moisturizer, but once I felt comfortable, I started using it as a standalone serum. Fortunately, I didn't experience any incompatibility issues or breakouts. It's a watery, runny serum that absorbs well, leaving a slight tacky feeling from the niacinamide. I also noticed a slight oily sensation, but it's not bothersome. Recently, I've also been using a glutathione ampoule, and I've noticed my complexion has become brighter, and the acne scars are gradually fading. I'm really pleased with the results.
ConsThere's none, 30ml at this price is really great value for money. It's a pump type, not a dropper, so it's actually more convenient to use. Most importantly, it's non-irritating and quite effective, so I highly recommend it.
TipTips for using functional products carefully if you have sensitive skin like me! If you say you're too sensitive, first test it on your neck If your neck doesn't get irritated and it's okay, mix a small amount into your cream and apply If that's also fine, apply a thin layer of the serum alone once every 2-3 days For those with sensitive skin, it's recommended to go through an adaptation period slowly (Testing is essential for functional products like niacinamide, retinol, vitamin C, etc.)

Thereafter, I have continued to use it by paying for it myself. It fills my skin with moisture without causing significant irritation and calms it down, making it a complete lifesaver for me!
ConsOverusing it can make it a bit sticky, but using the proper amount is fine!

It seems gentle and non-irritating.
ConsThe only downside, if I had to point one out, is that the pump feels a bit stiff. If you don't aim properly, it can suddenly squirt out.
TipUsing the PDRN ampoule together is even better.

The cost-effectiveness is simply outstanding!! Surprisingly, there was no irritation whatsoever on my skin. When using other niacinamide serums in the past, there was always a slight stinging sensation... The finish can range from feeling quite lightweight to slightly tacky, depending on the individual. For me, the lightweight feel was perfect!
ConsIt's not disappointing, but it's something to be careful about. I applied it alone without mixing it with other products, as I didn't feel any irritation on my skin at all, but my skin ended up peeling off! But I think it was because I used it together with the retinol cream. That was my own carelessness. 😱 You all should be careful!!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a dry, bumpy skin with redness. The formula is runny and fragrance-free. It's gentler than expected (there may be individual differences as I've used high-concentration niacinamide products before). It does make the skin feel a bit dry when applied. However, it seems to provide some improvement in skin tone. I've tried various niacinamide products, and the cheaper ones had terrible application and absorption, feeling stiff. The ones with great application and good effects were expensive. So I've been using the more expensive products, thinking of it as an investment in my skin. This product feels like a middle ground - it's the best value for money while also providing decent effects.
ConsThere is not really anything. If I had to nitpick, on days when my skin condition is not good, there may be some irritation, so I tend not to use it.
