Your Skin Is About To Be Peachy Keen With This Anua Peach 70 Niacinamide Serum – It's The K-Beauty Secret To A Glowing Complexion

Review: "i absolutely love this niacinamide! the reason why I chose this one over the red anua one is because it's at a safer % of 5 rather than 10-- I've used a 10% prior to this one unknowingly and although it didn't do my skin any harm and it was a great product, I think it's best to be safer than sorry! and protect my skin barrier:) my skin is looking nice and bright, light scarring fading, also I'm obsessed with the delicate scent, love love love, I definitely recommend and will be getting this again!" - megan

I wish I could use niacinamide. It always gives me an itchy, red rash in random places on my face.
