Paula’s Choice Clinical Niacinamide 20% Treatment 20ml

Paula’s Choice Clinical Niacinamide 20% Treatment is a first-of-its-kind, expert-level concentrated serum delivering the highest clinically effective concentration of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) available in mainstream skincare. Developed as the advanced step up from Paula’s Choice’s bestselling 10% Niacinamide Booster, this 20% formula was created specifically for stubborn, complex concerns that resist lower concentrations — including chronically enlarged pores, sebaceous hyperplasia, rough bumpy texture (keratosis pilaris-like skin), and persistent uneven tone. Clinically proven: 81% of users in a consumer self-assessment agreed it visibly improved skin texture after just 4 weeks of twice-daily use.

At 20%, Niacinamide operates at a level that normalizes pore function, actively tightens and refines sagging, stretched pores caused by age and UV damage, regulates excess sebum production, and dramatically improves skin texture. Niacinamide is also a ceramide synthesis stimulator — strengthening the skin barrier and improving hydration retention. It is synergistically combined with Acetyl Glucosamine, an amino sugar that — when paired with Niacinamide — has clinically demonstrated superior effectiveness at fading hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and post-blemish marks compared to either ingredient alone. Ascorbyl Glucoside (a stable Vitamin C derivative) adds further brightening, antioxidant, and collagen-boosting benefits.

Licorice Root Extract calms redness and brightens uneven skin tone. Meadowsweet Extract and Purslane Extract help reduce excess oil and inhibit the collagen-degrading enzymes that contribute to enlarged pores. Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) from Green Tea provides potent antioxidant protection against UV and environmental damage. Allantoin and Panthenol soothe and support skin recovery. The lightweight gel texture applies smoothly, absorbs quickly, and layers seamlessly under moisturizer and SPF. Free from fragrance, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, SLS/SLES, and 14 other commonly avoided ingredients — oil-free, gluten-free, cruelty-free.
