This serum has great ingredients, including Niacinamide and Vitamin C, both of which are some of the best ingredients for clear, radiant skin. They help with inflammation, acne, eczema, large pores, brightening, cell turnover, etc. Too many benefits to list. I tried the serum without following up with a moisturizer right away because I wanted to see how my skin would feel just with this product. The serum comes out pretty thick (for a serum) and is kind of cloudy, but has no smell (that I noticed). I used three pumps to cover my face and neck, and that seemed more than enough (will probably try two pumps next time). As it dried, my face felt pretty tacky for a while (could be because I used a good bit of product). The tackiness went away after maybe 30 minutes, then my face just felt kind of meh (I could feel lots of texture - it's hard to explain). I was disappointed. Sometime later (maybe another 30-45 minutes), I touched my face again and, to my surprise, it felt really smooth. I was won over. This product won't replace my regular 10% Niacinamide and 20% Vitamin C serums, but I will definitely add it to my skincare routine as a booster. At the current price of $37, it's a bit too pricey for me for that use, so I won't be repurchasing it. Based on the ingredients and my experience with it so far, I would definitely recommend this serum, if price is not an issue for you. It's probably more suitable to those with sensitive skin or who are just getting started with using actives. :)
