True to Skin - Karisma review for Niacinamide Brigthening Serum

Packaging : glass bottle. The design is girly with pink color on the product's sticker and dropper. Come in one size only which is 20 ml. Texture and feel on skin : thick, almost gel-like. Once it is spread, it melts to watery texture. Quite fast to absorb. Leaves a little bit tacky finish. Experience : I have emptied one bottle and the second one is on its half way. I have been using this serum for almost three months now. So far, I do not notice any differences with my overall skin tone in terms of its claim in brightening, but I can confidently say that my PIE is calming, and my PIH is fading slowly but sure in conjunction with the usage of retinol too. The immediate feel and result everytime I use this serum is the calming effect. Everytime my skin feels sensitized, this serum helps in calming and soothing my skin. It also feels hydrating. It helps tackling the drying effect of my retinol product I am currently using. Just like other product with niacinamide as the main ingredient, this serum also helps in controlling my sebum well without drying my skin. It does not pill or ball out even when I put many layers of product before and after this serum. I really love that this serum use less than 10 ingredients, without fragrance, simple alcohol, and any essential oils. Overall, this serum works wonderful on my skin especially when I combine it with retinol. So, this is really recommended for any skin types and concerns even for those who have sensitive skin.
