Price and verdict
This retails for $55/£52 for 20ml which is expensive considering it is a small size, it should be between 30-50ml. Now that’s out the way, what do I think? It absorbs well, it did brighten my skin and visibly reduce the appearance of my pores but I didn’t see any difference to my pigment/brown spot. It has a thin, watery texture but feels like an oil which might feel a little too oily for those with oily skin. However it does dry down quickly. All in all, I liked it but I wasn’t amazed by it.
Paula’s Choice 20% Niacinamide Treatment conclusion
I enjoyed the reduction of the appearance of my pores whilst using this serum but would I repurchase? I think I would look for a very similar product at a more friendly price tag.
