10% Niacinamide Booster

Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster is a water-light liquid serum built around one hero ingredient at a meaningful dose. If enlarged pores, uneven tone and rough patches are your recurring frustrations, this is the flexible add-on: use it on its own, or stir a few drops into the serum or moisturiser you already love.

What it actually does

• Targets visible pores with 10% niacinamide. Vitamin B3 at this concentration is the formula's centrepiece for making enlarged pores look tighter and tone more uniform.
• Supports brightening with vitamin C. Included to help the look of discolouration fade and to add antioxidant defence.
• Calms as it corrects. Licorice extract is there to soothe visible redness and irritation, which matters when you're layering actives.
• Slots into any routine. The texture is closer to water than a cream, so it layers without pilling and won't weigh down oily or combination skin.
• Clean formula list. The brand formulates without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil or SLS/SLES sulfates, and the product is cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Dispense two to three drops into your palm.
2. Pat over the face on its own, or blend into your serum or moisturiser before applying.
3. It can go on the under-eye area too — just keep it out of the eye itself.
4. In the morning, always finish with SPF 30 or higher.

Is it right for you?

Questions

Do I use it alone or mixed into something?

Either works — that's the point of a booster. Pat it on by itself after cleansing, or add the drops straight into your favourite serum or moisturiser in your palm.

Can it go under the eyes?

Yes, the brand says the under-eye area is fine — just avoid getting it into the eye itself.

Morning or night?

Both are fine. If you use it in the daytime, finish your routine with SPF 30+ as the brand directs.
