My experience:
I am very grateful to receive this ampoule from Picky and Skin1004. I absolutely love Skin1004's Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule, so I was stoked to try this Brightening Ampoule as it has many wonderful ingredients.
Unfortunately, my skin did not react well with the product. I used this ampoule for one week (morning and night), as my serum step. First night while using this ampoule, I noticed that my skin felt less hydrated and slightly more tight. After that, I patted in more layers of toner to give my skin my hydration before applying this ampoule. By day three or so, I noticed a few small red bumps on my skin -- I have acne prone skin but with using Adapalene, any clogged pore only lasts a day or two). By day 7, I had to stop using this ampoule as I noticed I was getting more and more bumps and they were not going away. My only conclusion is that my skin do not like "higher" percentage of Niacinamide -- this ampoule has 4% but my skin has also done well at 2% (my skin broke out terribly when I used a product with 10% Niacinamide before!).
I gave this ampoule to my friend and she really enjoys it.
