How does the 10% Niacinamide Booster improve skin?
This booster helps clarify skin, visibly fades post-blemish marks, and minimizes enlarged pores, all while preserving skin’s barrier.
My 10% Niacinamide Booster smells or looks different. Is it still okay to use?
Yes. You may notice changes in color, texture, or scent due to our fragrance- and dye-free formulas; this is normal. For best results, replace the product after the marked PAO or expiration date as effectiveness may decline after that time.
Are there any products or ingredients I shouldn’t mix with the 10% Niacinamide Booster?
No. You can layer or mix this booster with any product or ingredient according to your skin’s tolerance.
How should I use the 10% Niacinamide Booster in my skin care routine?
Apply 1-2x/day after cleansing & toning. Dispense a few drops into your palm and apply directly to skin, or mix it into other non-SPF products.
Is the 10% Niacinamide Booster fragrance-free?
Yes, though you may notice a mild, naturally occurring scent due to the product’s ingredients.

THANK YOU, PAULA’S CHOICE!!! SO MUCH YES!!!
TAKE MY MONEY, PLEASE & THANK YOU! LOL!Okay, bare with me, this will be a detailed, in-depth, review! Which I don’t do often, but this deserves one! Because I have so many things I love about this serum & her products in general! …First let me state, it is clear & liquid, like a water consistency! Do not be put off by this! This is a good thing. You just add one dropper’s amount into the palm of your hand (using clean hands) and with both hands pat it onto all of your face. (Clean face)… It absorbs really easy & quick! Feels very light, as if nothing is there. Not sticky or thick! Which is why it being like “water” is a GOOD THING! Because after this serum, you want to be able to apply moisturizer, sunscreen, and/or makeup – without difficulty! It wont ruin or clash with the products you go in with afterwards!I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin! I have to take allergy medicine daily to avoid hives. I have Psoriasis on my elbows & my hairline on the back of my neck. Certain products can make my skin turn red with a burning sensation… Other than certain actual Perfumes, I can not handle fragrance in any of my skincare/hygiene products… It’s just, yeah, like I said EXTREME – how sensitive my skin can be.HOWEVER!!! This stuff does not hurt my skin! My face handles some of the Paula’s Choice products I’ve tried so far, really well! I love that it targets my skin’s issues, without any irritation (if used properly) … I know not everyone’s skin is the same, but my sensitive skin handles this particular serum just fine, without any problems!I also want to compare this product to another expensive brand I’ve tried, “La Roche-Posay”…When they were shipped to me, along with Paula’s Choice products at the same time, La Roche-Posay’s serums came with damaged product boxes & no seal! Their serums are not cheap! So you’d think they could package their stuff better & seal them! It also made me question if they were used, rather than new… On top of that, I did not realize until after they all arrived, that La Roche-Posay’s serums all have unnecessary fragrance in them! Not Cool! It made my skin flare up & my skin was irritated as a result! That’s when I realized the crap like fragrance… So I stopped using their stuff & continued forth with just my paula’s choice & first aid beauty products only!The Paula’s Choice products I bought were all packaged well, no damage, & it was clear they were all new! And they have no fragrance! So I will never buy serums from La Roche-Posay again, and just stick with Paula’s Choice! Im not gonna waste tons of money on another expensive brand like that, if I can trust THIS ONE more!I also know Paula’s Choice products are working, because the results were surprisingly FAST! I have never had a product work so quick before. I was shocked, in a very happy way! I have combination skin. Where some areas are oily & some are dry. With hormonal acne, blackheads on my nose & chin, acne scars on my cheeks & forehead, & visible pores… Or at least I did, prior to this stuff! It made my skin feel evenly soft! Moisture in the dry areas, yet not oily! It evened-out my skin, it feels like. My blackheads & pores & acne are all clearing up & way less visible… Just WOW! Left me speechless, honestly! I expected to go through that adjustment phase, where you breakout until your skin gets used to it. But no, I guess I got lucky, because it just immediately started working. I can’t wait to see how clear everything is, with more time & more use!I want to note that I use First Aid Beauty’s face wash as a cleanser, First Aid Beauty’s Retinol under-eye cream at night, and First Aid Beauty’s face ultra moisturizer… HOWEVER, other than that, I am using Paula’s choice products (This serum specifically! That dark grey bottle of “Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant”… and the light blue bottle of her “Resist Weightless Advanced Repairing Toner, Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Acid”) and when my First Aid Beauty’s moisturizer is gone, I plan to give Paula’s Choice brand of moisturizer a try, to see how it works too! I have fallen in-love with this brand, which I do not say lightly; and because of how well it works for me so far, I feel like I will become a new loyal/regular costumer! The reason I mention what brands I am using together, is to help express what all was used to achieve my awesome results!I do use SPF 30 moisturizer in the La Roche-Posay brand (if Im gonna go outside or be out of the house) but it is unscented, and that was why I originally thought I could trust their serums, until that epically failed for me, because their brand of serums are fragranced & caused my skin to react badly!So kudos to Paula’s Choice for NOT being fragranced lol! My sensitive skin thanks you!

Perfect Night Add-On — Lightweight and Effective
I use this at night as part of my routine, and it layers really well with everything else I’m using.The quality is excellent — the texture is lightweight, smooth, and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or heavy. It sits nicely on the skin and doesn’t interfere with other products.There’s no noticeable scent, which I prefer, and it feels gentle while still being effective over time.It arrived well-packaged with no leaks, and the bottle is easy to use without wasting product.For the price, it’s a great value for a targeted step in a nighttime routine. Simple, effective, and easy to incorporate.This is as effective as any other brand you do not need to spend more money to get this particular product in an excellent quality. You need to know which brand to buy, and Paula’s choice is definitely one of them.#AmazonFinds #AmazonFine #Chihuahuamom #Dobermanmom#LuxeLife #MindfulLuxury #IntentionalLiving #ConsciousLiving#NightRoutine #SkincareRoutine #HealthySkin #SelfCarePractice #CleanLiving #BeautyRitual

Great add to skin routine
This serum is amazing! I started using it to help with l pores and uneven skin tone, and within just a couple of days I noticed such a big difference. My skin looks smoother, less oily in the T-zone, and brighter overall. It layers easily with other products without pilling, and it doesn’t feel sticky or heavy.I also love that it’s fragrance-free and gentle—I have sensitive skin, and it didn’t cause any irritation. The dropper bottle makes it easy to control how much I use, and a little goes a long way.If you’re looking for something to calm redness, minimize pores, and even out your skin, this is definitely worth trying!

Visible results need 2-3 bottles.
I’m conflicted about this because there seems to be some visible improvement but there’s not enough in the bottle to keep going. I’m thinking probably 3 bottles would be needed to see major results.

What Pores? Where?! Recommended by ChatGPT 😂
I have enlarged pores and have been getting a few of them treated with TCA cross. My skin is oily around the T-zone area and I have thick sebaceous skin if that gives you any idea of what my skin is like. I was desperate to find something that could help minimize the appearance of my pores, and chatGPT recommended to use this in conjunction with Paula’s Choice Exfoliating BHA and AHA to reduce the appearance of pore size. What the niacinamide does is plump your skin up so that the pores look “shrunk” and the BHA exfoliates deep into your pores to clear them up. I feel like my skin looks almost perfect, and I can barely see my pores with the naked eye now. You need this if you are looking for the same results!

Disappointingly the delivered product will expire in a month and a half. This is long before the product will run out with normal use. Beware of expiry dates on purchases.
