The Edyt Score
4.6 / 5.0
Targets
4.6/5
For pores and uneven tone when you want to dilute a strong niacinamide. Skip a straight serum if this booster format is the point.
Formula standards
4.6/5
A thick booster, a few drops into cream. Ten percent can flush sensitive skin if you use it neat.
The verdict
A useful niacinamide booster, and one bottle is enough. Start mixed.
