I'm a huge believer of niacin-amide products and so is the spa I'm working at. Because niacin-amide works slowly, you gotta use it consistently for a period of time to see the difference.. I...

I was excited to try it but if I’m being honest it didn’t live up to my expectations. I didn’t notice much of a difference after using it. If you have an option- definitely go for PC 20%...

Like other reviewers, i have tried a number of niacinamide products and never saw any benefits - in fact, I thought it was an ingredient that was causing clogged pores. But reading Rayoflight's...

I wish there were a "Maybe" option for the question "Would you buy it again?" because I'm not entirely sure this is doing much. I do know it isn't hurting, as my skin has been looking great lately...

I will buy as an alternative to the ordinary nacinlamide solution. For the price, which is 3x the price for the ordinary. It’s probably more worth it to buy the ordinary

An amazing treatment. After cleansing, put a few drops of serum in your hand, add a few drops of this, blend over face and neck. It shrinks pores so your face looks porcelain. Well worth the money!

I've rebought this booster a few times. I mix it with a moisturizer, because applying it straight on the skin leaves it feeling a little burning and tight. I do see a difference when I use it, that...

This is a great product for fading acne scars. However, Paula's products have gotten very expensive over the years and Id rather buy "The Ordinary" alternative.
