Can be hard to blend, really have to rub it in if you don’t want the white cast showing. Sometimes I dot it on my blemishes but this method only works when you’re not sleeping since it doesn’t dry on your skin. So if you sleep with a dot of this on your face, your blanket will wipe it off.

Really notice fading in my blemishes! Not instant but obvious fading.

Foam can be stripping sometimes. I don’t wash for that long and follow up with a thick moisturizer, oil, and sometimes vaseline. If I leave it on for too long, I feel my skin too clean, as if too much of my oils are gone

Foams up fast and a lot. Only need a little. Feels very clean afterwards

It dried out my skin which confused me. I used this in the summer and fall, stopped before the days got colder and drier. It also gave me redness and small bumps about an hour or two after I applied it but it always followed with my skin brightening the next day so I really wanted to like it. At first, I thought it was my skin “purging” but after a few months it seemed to me that my skin just did not like it. The redness would fade the next day but the small bumps stayed. I would also experience heat on my cheeks but it was inconsistent with my application. It also stung when I applied but it was a light sting.

After using it a few times I definitely saw my skin brighten. For reference, I only used it once a week then twice a week but I found that once a week was enough for the same effect as twice a week.

Bad flushing but this might be because my skin was already compromised. My skin is very sensitive to this. Might be too potent for me because I can use niacinamide in other products. Can’t use by itself since one drop evaporates too fast before it spreads throughout my whole face. I mix it with moisturizer but I would still have to be careful since more than one drop will make me flush. Would not recommend for those with sensitive skin.

Definitely saw my skin even out. I had bump on my forehead for as long as I remember. This helped soften those bumps and brighten my forehead

Not moisturizing enough for winter or super dehydrated skin. I put 3 layers on before when my skin was dehydrated and my skin soaked it all up but my skin was still dry and tight. After my skin repaired, the moisturizer was enough as 1 layer (2 on my drier days).

Skin soaks this stuff up fast and well. I can feel my skin immediately feeling more hydrated. Light initial feeling and then thick layer feeling after it soaks in. Very good base to mix in actives when testing out new product or the active is too strong on some days. Good moisturizer to fall back on when you experiment with too many new products
