Allies of Skin Prebiotics & Niacinamide Pore Refining Booster | Minimize the Appearance of Pores with Goji Berry & Probiotics Complex | Calm Redness and Treat Blemish Prone, Dull Skin | 1.7 fl oz

Since I was unable to get this from other sources, I am glad I found it on Amazon. Product was shipped promptly, arrived in perfect condition. Product is scentless, which is perfect for me, I am sensitive to perfumes and that shouldn't be on my skin anyway. I do feel my skin looks better after a month of use, less redness and healthier looking.

I was so surprised to see negative reviews of this product. I think it is awesome! I have been wanting to try a high-quality Niacinamide serum for my blotchy skin and also some dark spots that have been starting to appear on my face the last few years.I am impressed with the ingredient list. Niacinamide is the 2nd ingredient on the ingredient list, so this is the real deal! It also has some amazing herbal and fruit extracts along with silver and hyaluronic acid, all of which are super-benificial to the skin.This is a liquid consistency and it goes on very smooth without any stickiness. It has just a slight earthy, medicinal scent, but many people will find this unscented. I love that there are no artificial, synthetic perfumes. So many face products are over the top with stinky perfume, but this has almost no scent which is really important to me.Regarding flushing that one reviewer mentioned (and gave this a poor rating). I tend to easily flush and I have had absolutely no flushing issues. This is made with Niacinamide, not Niacin. Niacin will cause flushing, but Niacinamide does not. This is not a strong or acidic product, so there would be no reason for flushing as that one reviewer mentioned. There is absolutely no stinging or strong feeling on my face using this product.Another reviewer said this left them greasy and shiny. I don’t know why they said that, because this is absolutely not a greasy product. The consistency is very water-like and dries to a matte finish, so I have no idea why they would say this is greasy.Another reviewer said they are not seeing results with this product. It is well-known that seeing results from Niacinamide takes at minimum 2 weeks, but can take up to 4 weeks. It is not going to “instantly” fix your problems, but with dedicated daily usage, you will see a difference.This is a big bottle and you only need one squirt from the pump bottle, so this bottle definitely lasts along time. This product is made in the USA which is really important to me. I have tried some face serums that I found out were from Korea and I was not satisfied with them because of some weird ingredients and strange scents. I trust this company because they are USA-based.I think the $65 is very reasonable for a super high-quality Niacinamide product. I am confident I will start seeing results in 2 weeks based on everything I’ve read about Niacinamide. This has 10% Niacinamide, so it is some of the best available on Amazon.I am 100% satisfied so far with this product!

I have VERY sensitive skin. It wasn’t until my mid to late 30’s, but suddenly my skin would flush a lot, became burny and super sensitive, my pores stretched out (very unhappily), and I’ve spent thousands on lasers that did not help with them, so if $65 even a month could help my pores? I’d gladly shell out that and more. I hate my skin now, so I’d pay anything to reverse things back to how they were, hence my hopes in ordering this product. That maybe I’ll see some change. The ingredients are unlike anything else I’ve tried, thus far, and that did highly peak my interest, so I ordered.I know time is key, but I have to say that I did read other reviews on this, only because when I was ordering, I wanted to know what others had to say going in. They weren’t mostly positive, but I went for it anyway, and I am glad I did, thus far.I don’t have ANY redness or flushing due to this product. I flush and redden easily so, I just don’t think this product is the reason for that result. It definitely would happen to me. I find this to be very easy for my skin to take. It’s a tiny bit tacky, but it’s not at all greasy, oily, doesn’t leave me feeling like an oil slick. I like that. I much prefer this texture to the opposite.I can’t say 150% that my pores are shrinking (it’s not been very long here), but I will continue on, and I will report back and buy more if things go in a positive direction.. ((praying but hopeful)), any little results will be noticed and noted, as I’m pore-obsessed and I will spread the word.But I do feel like that they might be just a tad slightly refined in the way they look, my makeup has been going on better.. that I’ve noticed. That’s a great start. I wish I used this before the stretching out occurred, maybe it could have prevented it, but can’t cry over spilled milk now.. just give it my all now.Yeah, it sounds expensive, but if your skin is a daily heartache for you and your pores are a big part of your self consciousness and self esteem issues, then $65 is a drop in the bucket, so I pray I can report back with some great news in the weeks to come. If so, I will continue buying this!So far, quality ingredients, ones unlike I’ve ever tried before, gentle to my skin, non-oily and I’m just hopeful with this one. Wish me luck! For now, 4 stars! Nice, upscale packaging, too.* The product comes in a heavy, metal\ steel-like container that has a lot of weight to it. Nothing cheap at all about this product from the outside in, just to make note of. No plastic.. it’s all top notch!**I hope this review is helpful! :)
