The product initially improved my skin texture and did not cause irritation. However, after two days of use, I began experiencing increased acne, despite the glowing effect it provided. It appears that the 10% niacinamide concentration is too strong for my skin, as I have previously had positive results with 5% niacinamide. Additionally, the product's higher price point is not justified by the quantity offered (20ml) and the quality of the pump, which feels inexpensive and lacks precision in dispensing the product. This product made me realise im taking Ruruberry for granted lol

Surprisingly it actually worked, my skin was less irritated, more velvety, hydrated and there was a little bit of an improvement in pore size. However it does occasionally cause me very small whiteheads, this side effect is not severe, but I still wish it was fungal acne safe and non comedlgenic.
