Benefits

10% Niacinamide Booster is the first concentrated 10% niacinamide formula blended with natural calming and superior hydrating ingredients to address the frustrating combination of enlarged pores plus visible signs of ageing, such as: uneven skin tone, lack of radiance, rough surface skin texture, redness, and dryness. The results after only a few days will impress you.

Learn more about niacinamide.

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, which research has proven can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, and dry skin. The light-as-water texture is designed to dramatically enhance your skincare while also providing soothing agents to promote visibly calm skin. Antioxidants and skin-replenishing ingredients make this product a multi-tasking must-have solution for all skin types.

The bottle for this full-sized product is made from 96% recycled material (excluding cap and orifice reducer).

FAQs

Should I use the 10% Niacinamide Booster, the CLINICAL Niacinamide 20% Treatment or both?

For most, using one or the other is all that is needed. For those with milder pore concerns or who haven’t tried a highly concentrated niacinamide product, 10% is best. For those with especially stubborn concerns, 20% niacinamide is best. If the severity of your skin concerns varies over your entire face, we suggest experimenting with both products.

How does 10% Niacinamide Booster visibly tighten enlarged pores?

Niacinamide has research showing improvement in skin’s firmness and normal pore function. As the skin ages, the pore wall is damaged, and stretches as skin’s supportive structure depletes, resulting in enlarged pores that may or may not become clogged. Niacinamide restores some normal pore function, visibly firms and smooths which improve skin’s texture.

Are there any products or ingredients I shouldn’t mix with 10% Niacinamide Booster?

You can layer this niacinamide booster with any product or ingredient, as tolerated. If preferred, mix a few drops into any non-SPF product including serums, moisturisers or other boosters.

Is 10% Niacinamide Booster suitable for sensitive skin?

While niacinamide is a potent ingredient, we’ve formulated this booster with additional skin-soothing ingredients like allantoin, boerhavia diffusa root and licorice extract, so many people with sensitive skin have used it successfully with beautiful results. If you are concerned, patch test it first by applying it in a small area or mix it in into any non-SPF product for a few days to see how your skin responds.

What does a niacinamide booster do?

This niacinamide booster helps skin appear renewed and clarified, visibly fades post-blemish marks and minimises enlarged pores, all while preserving skin’s barrier.

How to use Paula’s Choice Niacinamide Booster?

You can experiment with using this versatile niacinamide booster in various ways. Dispense a few drops into your palm and apply directly to skin or mix its water-light texture into other non-SPF products.

Can I use niacinamide and vitamin C together?

Yes, niacinamide and vitamin C can be used together. In fact, this booster contains 2% ascorbyl glucoside, a form of vitamin C that provides brilliant results for fading the look of sun-induced discolourations when combined with niacinamide.

    LOVE, but PLEASE PC - increase product size or reduce price

    I have only used this product for a short period of time, but already I am IN LOVE with this product! However, as much as I want to give this product a permanent place in my skincare routine, BUT it is simply TOO EXPENSIVE for TOO LITTLE PRODUCT.

    Please PC - as someone who loves your products and would love to buy this product consistently for many years to come (and I'm sure many others do too), please increase the product size or reduce the price.

    I had high hopes...

    I bought this after reading that it was a "multi-taking must-have solution for all skin types." Perhaps one week of use wasn't really enough, but I was told "the results after only a few days will surprise you." I have very dry, dehydrated, sensitive, reactive skin. When trying to apply this, I can't feel it, ie, the "calming and superior hydrating ingredients" are undetectable. It's so watery that it disappears into my skin, including the palms of my hands (if I'm not careful) before I've had a chance to spread it out evenly. I've tried mixing it with a serum, but I've noticed no difference. This is very disappointing considering the number of positive reviews I've read and the very high price I paid for it. I might as well add a few drops of water to my serum for a similar affect.

    I'm quite annoyed, as I was told this booster would address enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, redness, dryness, surface roughness and dullness/lack of radiance, all of which are things I was and still am trying to deal with. (Despite my skin being dry now, it was very oily up until my 20s-30s, resulting in very large pores - they don't go away!)

    I thought this sounded too good to be true, and from what I can see, it was.

    It hasn't caused any irritation, but unfortunately for me, it's done nothing.

    I can usually feel a product working within a few minutes, whether the sensation is good or bad. 10% Niacinamide booster has done nothing, and it constinues to do nothing to my skin! A great $65 down…

    What pores!!!!

    My main target was to treat uneven skin tone and enlarged pores. After using it for two weaks almost my pores are gone and the texture is smoothened. The downside is that its a bit expensive and small quantity wise

    Dried my skin out

    I bought this product, plus the 'calm' range. I wanted to love these products but they all dried my skin out and were not effective. Unfortunately this brand is not for me.
