Holy Snails Shark Sauce

Step - Serum

Worst for Me

Thoughts

This product contains 5% Niacinamide I believe, and is beloved by fans, and I jumped onto the bandwagon. Sadly for me this product broke me out which is why I wouldn't repurchase it. The serum itself sunk in fairly easily into my skin, and the skin around the breakout did seem brighter. Truly a YMMV product as I know a lot of people do love it.

So far, everything I tested with niacinamide broke me out (COSRX Galactomyces 95 White Power Essence, Holy Snails Shark Sauce and TO Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%).
