Based on these TikTok captions, reviewers have mixed opinions about Paula's Choice 10% Niacinamide Booster. One reviewer loves it as an anti-aging powerhouse that reduces pores, controls oil, and brightens skin, while another finds it expensive and ranks it poorly compared to other serums, noting it's designed more for clearing pores and texture than hydration.
