Go with the Glow Niacinamide Drops
Niacinamide, vitamin C, retinol, lactic acid - oh my! What great brightening and anti-aging ingredients, and a high concentration of these actives to boot. You can tell by how high they are listed in the ingredient decks, as they are in order from highest to lowest percentage. Upon application, I get a mild "stingle" (stinging + tingling sensation), another indication that this is a result-driven formula. Pretty impressive for a non-professional product (distributed over the counter and not in medi-spas), because I'd say it's very comparable. Those with sensitive skin or if currently using retinoids, exfoliants, or acne medications, this product might not be tolerable for your skin. There is a "Sun Burn Alert" that sun exposure should be limited and to use in conjunction with sunscreen. However, it states you can apply AM or PM - I'd recommend only using at night due to the retinol! To off-set the chance of irritation and replenish moisture balance to the skin, there's some great emollients, humectants, and calming ingredients. The ones that stood out to me are squalane, sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), panthenol (vitamin B-5), and a ceramide. I was relieved that the incredible scent (reminds me of grape jolly ranchers!) is from plant extracts and not from synthetic fragrance. In regards to the packaging, the pump dispenses the perfect amount with no clogging issues. My skin looks and feels moist, plump, and glowy after application. Very lightweight, those with dry skin will still want to apply a moisturizer over it. It plays nice when being layered with my other skin care products, no pilling!
I only wish it came in a larger size - 1 oz will probably only last me 30 days using it 1x a day.
