I was upset because I kept seeing my pores, but now I really want to use this consistently.
Lately, I've been particularly concerned about the pores around my nose and cheeks, so I was looking for a niacinamide product and tried Paula's Choice Clinical Niacinamide 20% Treatment. Since it is a high-concentration product, I was a bit cautious at first, so instead of applying it every day, I started with a small amount in the evening. The texture was lighter than I expected, and it absorbed quite quickly.
I applied a thin layer after toner, focusing on areas where I was concerned about my pores, and spread only a very small amount over my entire face.
I liked that it wasn't very sticky after application and left a fresh finish. Since it has a high concentration, I think you might need to adjust the amount depending on your skin condition, but the user experience itself was quite clean.
Of course, pores won't disappear in just a few days, but I feel like my skin texture looks a bit more refined, so I want to keep using it. I think this is a product that people concerned about pores, sebum, and dullness might be interested in.
