Got shortchanged.
I absolutely LOVE this serum! It is the best I have ever tried. It is wonderful for controlling my oily t zone, which I have had all my life and and still do even though I am now a senior. This serum goes on smooth, my skin absorbs it quickly, and it evens my complexion without making me oily or feeling the slightest bit sticky. The reason for only 3 stars? The packaging and the amount of product. When I started running out I reordered, only to get an unsealed bottle and a great amount of serum was missing. I reported this to Sephora and without any hassle they sent me a replacement bottle. It had the same issue. This is the first time this has happened to me. I do not mind spending money at all on my skin, but expect to get what I paid for. I will have to go back to ordering directly from Dr. Sturm website where this never happened.

Best niacinamide serum that I've used
I had collected quite a few samples of this so I was able to use it for a full month. It's a great effective serum. It absorbs well and never irritates my skin like many other niacinamide serums do. After using it for two weeks I noticed my skin tone was much better and brighter and the blotchiness on my cheeks reduced. By the end of 4 weeks, my skin was noticeably smoother too. I'm sad that I can't afford to buy the full-size at this time, but I definitely recommend it and it is at the top of my wishlist.

Pricey but good!
I'd sampled this, and after I liked the look of my skin post application, and as a fan of niacinamide serums, I decided to opt for the big bottle. It is a little on the pricier side, but I was keen to see if it matched its positive reviews. With 5% high-quality niacinamide - I have tried serums with a higher percentage, my last being 20% (Paula’s choice) but nevertheless, the other ingredients, vitamin B3, ectoni and panthenol provide a good mix for the skin. The serum’s consistency is thin like a milky essence with no scent, and absorbs quickly into the skin. The recommendation is twice daily, so although I prefer a nighttime application, I followed their advice applying both morning and night. I apply on a clean, bare face without any other products to begin with, and then apply the rest of my makeup afterwards. After just 4 day's use, my skin has felt a lot softer, and I have noticed my pores seem less apparent. Honestly I feel confident when wearing this as it makes my complexion more even and healthy looking, so much so I only want to apply the minimum tinted moisturizer afterwards as the effect is nice as is. I also like how it sits well under my makeup. The only thing I disliked was it tends to feel quite tight on the skin after applying, but overall, I’m pretty pleased with the results, and would consider repurchasing this in future, although I’m sure there’s other brands out there with a higher concentration of niacinamide for less. ~ My Sephora Top 7 must-have list ~ (My top 7 must-have beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Sephora) 1.

Its okay.
Niacinamide has been a great add in my routine. I have tried a few Niacinamide products and this one is not my #1 pick however it is up there. I feel for the price point there are better products out there. I have noticed a difference in my dry patchy skin since I have been using this chemical but Im not sure if that is because of the chemical Niacinamide itself or because of Dr. Barbara Strum formulation. I do not love how this product comes in a bottle with a dropper, so I hope this is changed in the near future for the stability of the chemical. I will likely not purchase this product again but will give another brand a go.

Expensive but pretty good
I have been using this for about a month and I like it. I don’t think it clears up the pigmentation like the photos. It does help keep my skin balance and in check. I’ve never had any irritation, I use this twice a day and it works well with my vit c and retinol and other products. I would recommend this doesn’t have a scent either. 1 drop works well for the whole face. It’s a creamy lightweight texture. It’s just expensive for a niacinamide product

I love how easy it is to apply this serum to my skin. The applicator is easy to use to get the right amount of product for my face. After using this product my face feels more hydrated, smoother, and my texture seems better than it has. I also feel like some of my blemishes have been lightened as well.
