Is This 5k Serum From Paula’s Choice Really Worth The Money?

The Paula’s Choice Niacinamide Serum Booster is a potent concoction and one of the best things I’ve done for my skin. I really did try to hate it but pretty sure I’m going to be buying this product for the rest of my life. RIP my wallet.

What Is It?

The Niacinamide Serum Booster is a concentrated, sheer ultra-light liquid formula designed to dramatically improve uneven skin tone and refine the appearance of pores, skin texture, and fine lines. With a powerful 10% niacinamide (vitamin B3) concentration, this serum not only promotes a brighter, younger-looking appearance but also visibly minimises the appearance of large pores.

It’s the perfect ally for those seeking to combat the signs of ageing and achieve a more radiant, smooth complexion. This booster also boasts the ability to be used alone or added to your favourite moisturiser or serum, making it a versatile addition to any skincare routine.

Our Thoughts

What. A. Serum. I’ve been using this for around three weeks at this point and I have to say, my skin has never looked better. This serum does absolutely everything it claims to – nothing less. My skin looks significantly brighter, uneven spots have begun to fade and it significantly reduces inflammation caused by flare-ups or any type of redness. While it does not really reduce the appearance of my pores, that’s something I wasn’t expecting anyway and can let go of easily.

The product’s lightweight formula is a dream to apply, quickly absorbing without leaving any residue behind. There’s no fragrance and it layers beautifully with anything – a heavy moisturiser, toners, sunscreen. Honestly, this works so well that there are a few other steps I eliminated from my routine because I did not really need them anymore. If you have the money, I highly recommend getting this product if your concerns are pigmentation and dark spots.

How To Use It?

If using alone, simply apply a few drops to clean skin, gently patting in until fully absorbed. For an extra boost, mix it with your favourite moisturiser or serum before application. Focus on areas that need the most attention, such as uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, or fine lines. The key is consistent use, to achieve the best results.
