NaturiumNiacinamide Face Serum 12% Plus Zinc 2%, Anti-Aging, Pore Minimizer & Dark Spot Corrector with Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, 1 oz

I have been using this for about a month now and I am so happy I found it (and this brand in general).I am 37 and ever since having my second child in 2019, I've noticed I get regular hormonal breakouts before I menstruate (something I never experienced, even during puberty). I am also getting older, and have noticed some changes in my skin texture, larger pores, mild rosacea.I was using retinol at the recommendation of my esthetician, but just felt it wasn't helping the way I'd have liked.This gel serum has made a massive difference. I get far, far fewer hormonal breakouts, and when I do they clear up much faster. My skin feels much more balanced. I have also noticed my pores have shrunk and my rosacea is much less noticeable. My skin also has stayed better moisturized as I believe the hyaluronic acid in this makes a big difference with helping my skin absorb my moisturizer.I cleanse with a gentle cleanser, tone, then use this serum, then my moisturizer in the mornings. In the evenings I layer the niacimide gel moisturizer on top of this, then my regular moisturizer. My skin gets very dried out in the winter so the extra layer helps.This sits well underneath my bare minerals powder foundation and sunscreen. I have combination skin and it does not make it more greasy or anything.This will be staying in my skincare rotation probably indefinitely. I am so glad I found it, and this brand in general. I have the body lotion and body butter as well, and they are amazing too.

Ive been incorporated this cream into my skincare routine, and the results have been remarkable. This lightweight gel cream absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated without greasy residue. Perfect addition to my daily regimen.

I rarely write reviews, but this product is exceptional! I have extremely sensitive skin, enlarged pores, fine wrinkles and oily skin, this product has made a difference immediately! My pores are noticeably smaller, it seems like my few wrinkles gave all but disappeared and the oiliness has improved greatly! I have never had a product work so effectively and so quick! I have used the Obagi nuderm system for 20 years and I love it but I needed something else to add to my routine, to give it a boost and this is it, I love this product!

So far I like this serum. The consistency of it is really smooth and it makes my skin feel soft.

PROS (of which there are many):- IT WORKS!! Oily skin gal here. This product has been AMAZING at managing my sebum/oil production and balancing out my skin tone after only about 3 months of use. 12% is a very sizeable % of niacinamide, and it definitely shows in how effective this product is. I can't wait to see what 12 months of regular use does!- AESTHETICS. The packaging decisions are overall very good! It's simple, elegant, beautiful, and so professional. The bottle also feels very high-quality.- THE BOX. I love love love researching different ingredients and the theory/science behind skincare, so I was really jazzed to see how you could take the outer box apart and learn more about the effects and benefits of niacinamide and zinc for your skin. SO smart, and the interactiveness was really neat.- FUNCTION. I LOVE the pump. It's so easy to use, and just one pump deposits the perfect amount needed for my whole face, plus another half pump for my neck. I'm so tired of all the droppers, so a pump is a refreshing change.- FORMULA. It's a slightly thicker serum that I find easier to apply than super liquidy serums. It doesn't go everywhere. It sinks into the skin well. It also feels so smooth and luxurious on the skin without getting really sticky, so it's extremely enjoyable to use. And fragrance free!CONS (only a few, and very minor)- LARGE PACKAGING. It's a pretty tall bottle in comparison to some other dropper-packaged serums I have (see pics below for size comparisons), so that might be something to keep in mind if you're traveling or just want to save space. It's not super massive, and I truly don't mind the taller size. But there might be someone out there who does. It's also on the heavier side of serum bottles.- OPAQUE PACKAGING. Although I think the opaque and simple packaging of this serum is absolutely GORGEOUS, I wish I could see much serum I have left in the bottle. And since the bottle is a bit heavier than other serum bottles, I can't tell how much is left based on weight. A little bummed out about that.- NO INGREDIENTS ON BOTTLE. The ingredients WERE listed on the box itself, thankfully. However, none on the bottle itself. Serums usually don't include their ingredients on the bottles themselves, I guess because there's not enough space. However, since this bottle is quite a bit bigger than most serums, I do think there was enough room to stick on an ingredient list on there somewhere, even on the side of the cap if need be. I didn't want to keep the box because it takes up space, so I now have to go online if I want to look at the ingredients. A little bummed about that, but still not a big deal.Overall, I am SO SO SO HAPPY I purchased this. I'm really excited to try out more products from Susan Yara's brand. Her knowledge and passion for skincare is through the ROOF, so I was so so excited when I heard she launched Naturium. This is my first experience with Naturium, and so far, I am so pleased!

Not an AI, paid for, or fake review. This stuff WORKS. I was hitting a plateau in my skincare routine rotating through 1% retinol and glycolic acid. Wasn’t seeing results like I used to so I decided to switch glycolic acid out for niacinamide and I am so glad I did!! After the first day my skin looked so much brighter and felt nice and firm, but not dried out. I did experience a moderate amount of peeling about 36 hour after my first application. But that’s NORMAL and expected when using an exfoliant like this. I took some good old st. Ives scrub to it to get rid of what was left and what remained was beautiful radiant skin! My daily makeup application looks so much better. I’m a tired working mom with two little kids so anything to help improve my skin is a huge win!

I love niacinamide products and love naturium however this product broke me out and burned my face. The percentage was too potent for my face and burned it when I first applied it and then I started getting little pimples on my face. Stopped using after a couple days of trying to be consistent and thought my face was just purging nope, too strong. I tried fixing my barrier and I’m retrying product so far much better. Not burning on application and haven’t broken out like when I first tried it. Smell is alright. And serum is thick. Doesn’t leave greasy feel and dries after a minute or two.

Amazing product! It’s made a big difference with my dark spots and has visibly reduced my open pores. I’m so happy with the results!
