I bought a bottle of Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster, mostly because I'm trying to fade hyper-pigmentation on my face and I have large pores on my nose. The sample packaging really didn't do...

This stuff is weird. I love it. I hate it. I'll buy it again, though...because it's some VERY POTENT stuff. Insanely potent. It's probably the most powerful topical skin product I have ever...

A beautiful unicorn of a product. It works and I saw results in about a month. Technically, I can't use niacinamide, however, because you can control the amount of product you use due to the...

This has dramatically changed my skin! When I discovered the 2% BHA liquid, my skin really improved and I thought that it was at the best it could possibly get. I have larger pores around my nose...

I jumped in on this because A) I know niacinamide is good for your skin and B) If Paula was putting it out it had to be good. What I didn't realize is how good it would be! I didn't have large...

I just finished up my bottle. I had high hopes for this product due to the very high percentage of niacinamide in it as well as PC's reputation as a brand. Most serums have 2 or 3% niacinamide, but...

First: This is a long review. Sorry. I give products a lot of thought and test them a really long time before I review them. And I think it's only fair to describe my skin issues and other products...

Sadly I can't use this booster. Each time I use it, I start getting these pimples where I usually don't breakout. This is very disappointing, since it made my skin less oily and smooth at the same...
