She praised the key ingredient that transformed her skin in a post on Reddit’s 30 Plus Skincare forum.
AMAZING INGREDIENT
She shared a before and after photo of her face to show the dramatic reduction in pore size.
“Years ago, I started taking a vitamin with niacinamide and noticed that my pores shrank,” she said, writing underneath her pen. Envelope.
“Then I took niacinamide from The Ordinary and noticed an almost immediate effect making my pores shrink even more.
“Then I decided to upgrade to the more expensive version of Paula’s choice and I noticed an even bigger difference.”
The Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Ordinary Oil Control Serum is $6, while the Paula’s Choice Clinical Niacinamide 20% Treatment is $55 at Sephora.
The Redditor revealed that she also “tames” her acne by doing microneedling and spironolactone at home once a month.
“I use Dr. Pen’s device,” she said. “Sanitize everything and watch YouTube videos online for instructions.

“I trust myself more than someone else doing this to me. I don’t go too deep, just 1 mm.
“My skin always looks so refreshed days after doing this.”
She said topical niacinamide combined with at-home treatments “shrinks” her pores.
She recommended using 20% niacinamide every morning after cleansing and waiting up to 15 minutes before applying moisturizer and sunscreen.
The beauty enthusiast added that the miracle ingredient can also be used at night before retinol, but said she hasn’t done this in a while.
Many people were amazed by her before and after photos and promised to try niacinamide on their own skin.
BEAUTY SHOPPING
More than 1 million Sephora customers have liked The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum.
According to the brand, it reduces the appearance of blemishes and “regulates” sebaceous activity.
One shopper said they were “obsessed” with the product after seeing their “uneven skin texture” become smoother, while another said it gave dull skin a healthy glow.
Clinical treatment with niacinamide 20% from Paula’s Choice was also well evaluated.
The brand recommends applying a few drops of the serum twice a day to “minimize enlarged pores.”
“I absolutely love this product, I stopped using it for a year and I have definitely seen my skin change drastically,” said one customer.
“I finally got back into it and it helped me keep a clear complexion.
“I use it every day, once in the morning and once at bedtime and I wake up with glowing skin.
“The price is a little high, but it’s definitely worth it.”
Another fan of the serum was impressed with how quickly it transformed her skin.
“The only product that eliminates breakouts along the hairline (sensitive skin’s response to hair products) and shrinks enlarged nose pores overnight,” they said.
