I've heard that using this alongside a Vitamin C serum can enhance its effects, so I've been applying them together.

The price can be quite steep when it's not on sale. Also, for those with super sensitive skin, starting with such a high concentration product might cause irritation. I'd recommend trying a lower concentration first.

Skin Type:
Oily, blemish-prone skin

Application:
This slightly viscous red ampoule feels a bit sticky when applied. If used before makeup, it might cause pilling, so it's crucial to let it absorb thoroughly. That's why I typically use a different hydrating ampoule in the morning and save this Anua ampoule for nighttime use. Once applied, it feels incredibly moisturizing. In this weather, I found that using just this ampoule followed by a light cream was sufficient.

Effectiveness:
I've been using it for about 3 months, and compared to similar ampoules with lower niacinamide content, this one showed more significant improvement in evening out my skin tone. My complexion seems to have become more radiant. While there hasn't been a dramatic improvement in hyperpigmentation, I feel like there's been a slight, gradual enhancement. I think this is something that requires consistent, long-term use to truly see results.

Skin Sensitivity:
I was initially concerned about potential irritation due to the high 10% niacinamide content, which is more than my previous ampoules. However, I experienced no tingling, and it suited my skin well.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I wasn't a fan of the slightly sticky finish. This could be due to layering it with other serums, though.

I've been using this for about 2-3 weeks, and the texture is thicker than I expected. After applying my usual routine of two layers of hyaluronic serum and one layer of PDRN, it left a slightly sticky residue. While I haven't noticed a brightening effect yet, I'm happy to report that it hasn't caused any blemishes or skin issues.

The price is a bit steep, which can be a burden... I'd recommend waiting for a sale to purchase it...!

I've been using this for a month, and it's not bad for blemish-prone skin. It's especially helpful for fading marks! The product absorbs well, and the texture is nice even for summer use.

It pairs well with other skincare products in my routine.

It's not overly hydrating, so it's best to use it alongside a moisturizing product.

I love how it smooths out my skin texture without any irritation.
It gives my skin a clear and firm feeling.
I always use it in my nighttime routine because it helps with blemishes and shows visible care effects.

I noticed even better results when I used this in combination with Idealshot.
My skincare routine consisted of toner, Idealshot 100, this product, and then I'M FROM Onion Cream. People have commented that my complexion has really improved since I started this regimen.

The texture is slightly sticky when applied.
I wish the bottle contained more product - the amount feels a bit limited.

I've been trying different products with niacinamide since it seems to work well for my skin. After seeing this recommended on YouTube, I decided to give it a try and used up a whole bottle.

I have combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes, which has left me with some dark spots. I heard this product could help improve those issues, and I'm happy to report it worked well for me.

I didn't experience any irritation or breakouts, so it was a great fit for my skin.

This product is excessively sticky. I believe it's not that old, but for some reason, perhaps due to color changes, when I apply it and look in the mirror, my face appears brown. It's a disaster with my hair sticking to my face everywhere.

I thought my complexion would brighten, but my skin actually became more tanned.

For faster results, try layering the product multiple times.

The formula has a slightly viscous texture, and if you don't allow it to absorb fully, it can feel a bit sticky on the skin.

I've been applying this primarily to areas with summer pigmentation, and in just two weeks, those spots have noticeably faded. Everyone I meet comments on how much my skin has improved, so I'm using it consistently. The effects are so impressive that this has become my go-to brightening serum!

Since I don't typically experience blemishes, I can't really find a reason to not recommend it.

I've been using this product regularly thanks to YouTuber Toxin's recommendation. It seems to work well with my skin, especially the niacinamide. It's become an essential part of my evening skincare routine!

The product seems to work well for layering and as a makeup base. While it may cause initial skin reactions for some, it appears to be effective in the long run. The user's desire for a larger size suggests satisfaction with the product overall.

I wish it came in a larger size. Initially, I experienced some blemishes, but after about a week, it turned out to be a perfect match for my skin.

Layering two coats makes my skin feel firm and supple. When applied before makeup, it creates a perfect canvas.

It's so expensive! Because of that, I have to use it sparingly. As good as the product is, it's truly pricey, unfortunately.

It absorbs well, and after using it consistently for about two weeks, I noticed a brightening effect. Not to mention how it smoothed out my skin texture - it's really great!

✗ The texture was a bit disappointing. I wish it had been a bit lighter.

✓ Ingredients
Overall, the ingredients seem quite good. I purchased this product because it contains excellent components for addressing blemishes.

✓ Texture/Absorption
While it spreads well, I personally feel it doesn't absorb fully and tends to sit on the skin. This ampoule might not be ideal for those with oily skin.

✓ Recommended for
I'd recommend this for combination dehydrated skin, dry skin, and very dry skin types.
