allan review for Phyto Niacin Whitening Essence

Cost Comparable to cheaper essences despite average price - It did not have anything suprising with its effects. One can still find better brightening effects on cheaper products that also contain niacinamide. Packaging Dropper is useless when the product is about to run out - This has always been my issue with products that have dropper. When its about 1/6 remaining, I have no choice but to pour it on my hands. Ingredients Only 5% Niacinamide - I have seen other local products that have more percentage of such actives yet still on the same price range as Phytoniacin Essence. Considering the percentage, it took me weeks or even more than a month to see results to my skin. Actual Testing Claims and description is not consistent with the actual - 1. They market the product as a whitening product but it is not even its function. It is more on the brightening side rather than whitening. 2. It is stated that it fast-absorbing without stickiness yet it is the opposite. It was quite sticky after application and even after minutes of application. Also, it took me at least 2-3 minutes to apply the next product on my skin. 3. Lastly, it is said that it is unscented. However, I smell something which is probably caused by the packaging of the product. Irritations on skin - I had some irritations when I first tried the product probably because of its vitamin c derivatives. I had to gradually use it before using it daily. Effects took around a month or more to occur - Again, since it only has 5% niacinamide, it takes a long time to see the results. I think anyone with worse cases of dark spots would not be patient enough to wait for such time. Overall, it is quite worth the hype of trying the product. Though my experience on trying it is more of the bad than the good, it still is great as it also opened me on trying new products. The cost of spending for it was not something I totally regret. I am already fine that it at least did its job without leaving any serious concerns on my skin. Do I recommend it? No. But if one is up with trying, I am not stopping them. Who knows? Maybe it may have better effects on them.
