The pump is very precise Each pump gives a controlled amount that's perfect for one application. No spillage, no waste. The packaging detail is appreciated.
Niacinamide concentration is just right 5% is the sweet spot for niacinamide — effective without being irritating. I've used higher percentage products that caused flushing. This one has none of that and still delivers results.
Pores are less visible in 3 weeks Not dramatizing — my pores, especially on my nose and cheeks, are noticeably smaller looking. The consistent niacinamide application is clearly doing something. Very pleased.
Not quite enough for very dry skin alone If you have very dry skin and you're going into a dry environment, you'll want a moisturizer underneath. It's not a deeply hydrating product. For normal to oily it's perfect as a standalone though.
Great for combo skin in monsoon During monsoon when my face alternates between sweaty and dry, this gel formula handles it really well. Doesn't feel heavy in humidity, doesn't feel stripping in air conditioning.
Skin doesn't feel coated Some SPFs feel like you've put a film on your face. This one absorbs fully and you forget it's there. Skin feels natural and breathable all day.
