Like both products, but the essence is more useful than serum. Serum is good but leaves skin a bit tacky.
The essence is nice and moisturizing and my skin looks nicer and smoother looking. The serum, on the other hand, was heavy and irritated my sensitive skin.
Love both of the products. They helped lighten my acnescars and felt good on the skin.
I love these serums, my skin is very smooth and beauty.
This helped moisturize my skin.
I've been using these product for a month everyday. Skin type: dry, acne prone, sensitive.
Fresh Herb: It's kinda oily (as there is a literal layer of oil and you need to gently shake before application) and therefore makes my skin have a shine to it, so I use it at night. Another reason as to why I use it at night is because there are vitamin extracts in it, so when it's exposed to the sun, I don't want to get my skin damaged. It does reduce the size of pores, but little to none over time, it is more of an immediate difference. I sometimes felt the burning sensation as some people do, but that's due to it repairing your skin.
Phyto Niacin: Excellent product for those who have dry skin!! Definitely preferred this over the fresh herb one. Used it in the morning so I didn't have to use an essence and moisturizer together, just one or the other was fine (p.s. it's winter where I live at right now). It did help in brightening my face and fading acne scars. Super moisturizing, I get the hype about hyaluronic acid.
Both products: Would repurchase again (not sure about the fresh herb one yet). No breakouts due to the product. Easy application, I just used the dropper and dropped drops directly onto my face:). Worth the price, they're large and the packaging is nice.
like the essence but the serum made my skin oily
The two products work well together
Ok. So The Photo Niacin is my new holy grail. Literally reduced acne scars on my face within a week and still continues to reduce scarring and even my skin tone. I have tried SO MANY products and none have ever improved my skin so quickly or as much! Plus the essence itself has a great texture that is pretty watery, which I love. I don't like layering thick products on top of each other, so having some thiner ones is a huge plus for me. I rate it 10/10.
The Fresh Herb Serum has really helped my pores. I have noticed a decrease in blackheads (which is my main concern other than acne scars, I had them EVERYWHERE), my only qualm being how oily it is. I don't put it on during the day, only at night just because it almost has a greasy texture? As long as you only use a few drops it isn't bad, but I made the mistake of using the whole dropper the first time! A few drops at night though doesn't bother me, my face usually looks like I just ran a 10K marathon after i'm done with my nightly skin care routine regardless lol. I rate it 8.5/10, only because I can only use it at night.
I'm impressed if you read all of that, I hope it helped!
