The skin brightening effect is as impressive as its concentration. My skin tone was already light enough to occasionally use shade 23 foundation, but after consistently using this product, I've received compliments on how much brighter my complexion has become. While I do apply sunscreen diligently, considering I don't go out much (and thus don't always wear sunscreen), the effect is noticeable. Due to the high concentration, some might find it tingling, so use it according to your skin's needs. Personally, after years of using niacinamide, 15% is fine for me. Scent None at all! Texture & Finish It has a slightly runny consistency, like thin mucus. The finish is fresh, but with the current humid and hot weather, it can feel a bit like there's a film on the skin. Overall, it's quite lightweight! Moisturization It feels almost non-existent in terms of hydration, so those with dry skin will definitely need to add a separate moisturizer. Price Even the regular price isn't expensive, and it's even cheaper on sale. Even considering separate shipping costs, the value for money is outstanding.
ConsPackaging ...It's not pretty. Finish In the height of summer, the finish can feel a bit sticky. So I tend to apply a smaller amount. Sebum Control Honestly, I didn't see significant results in terms of pore management and sebum control. If these are your main concerns, you might find The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% more suitable for your needs.
TipSince the niacinamide concentration is quite high, first-time users might want to start with other brands' products containing around 5%. I started with 10% and experienced some tingling, but got used to it over time! Even with some drawbacks, the price is so affordable that it's still worth it. Their cleansing oil is also nice and refreshing, so why not try a few of their other products together?

Non-irritating Despite its high niacinamide content, it's great that it doesn't cause irritation. I could apply it daily without issues, and even those with sensitive skin found it non-irritating. *However, if you have super sensitive skin, it's best to use just one pump! 2. Brightening Niacinamide has various benefits including sebum control and brightening. While I didn't notice significant effects in all areas until using it for a month, my complexion does seem to have brightened a bit! 3. Hydration For oily skin in summer, using this ampoule followed by a light gel cream is sufficient. Apply the niacinamide and finish with a moisturizer.
ConsPersonally, I don't have any complaints. I bought this because I heard other niacinamide products had issues with absorption, but this one applies well.
TipI've read that niacinamide works even better when combined with certain other ingredients! I mixed it with vitamin C to focus more on brightening. If you want to manage blemishes, I also recommend mixing it with ingredients like tea tree or zinc.
