I love this so much I kicked Niacinamide off my routine because this seems to finally be doing all the things Niacinamide was supposed to do for me skin. Now that I have checked the ingredients it makes sense :)
My skin is clearer, less textured and breakout spots fade noticeably faster. It feels amazing and goes great over and under other serums. Absolute new holy grail product.

Be careful with this if you have really sensitive skin. My skin is very reactive and highly sensitive. I have acne prone skin and this irritated my skin really bad

Cured my fungal acne and prevents flare ups! Nizoral was way too harsh for my skin. I used this 10 min every single day for 3 weeks. I had no barrier issues because I followed it up with a raw manuka honey mask (umf 20+) right after for 1-3 hours. The manuka honey helps so much with the drying side effects of sulfur. It also helps treat FA/acne because it has antifungal, antibacterial, and Show more
