As someone with sensitive skin that’s also prone to hormonal acne, finding a serum that doesn’t cause irritation or breakouts is a challenge. I tried the Raaga Radiant Tone Face Serum because it contains niacinamide, which I heard is good for calming skin. My first impression: the serum is clear, fragrance-free, and has a thin gel-like consistency. I did a patch test (a must for me) and had no reaction, so I felt hopeful. The formula felt soothing when I dabbed it on – no stinging at all on my active pimples or the red areas around my nose. In fact, my skin felt calm and hydrated right after application. I incorporated it slowly, using it every other night after cleansing to make sure my skin adjusted. Within the first week, I noticed that I didn’t experience the usual redness I get from trying new products. By week two, I moved up to daily use because it was so gentle. The results have been pleasantly surprising: my acne has slightly reduced (fewer small bumps on my forehead) and overall my face looks less blotchy. The biggest win is the lack of irritation – it actually seems to reduce inflammation. Some old acne scars are beginning to look a touch lighter too, giving me hope with continued use. It’s also helping control some oil in my T-zone, but never over-drying the rest of my face. Pros: Truly gentle formulation – great for sensitive, acne-prone skin. No fragrance, no alcohol burn, and it absorbs fully without residue. I love that it has niacinamide because it strengthens my skin barrier; I’ve noticed fewer random dry patches and my skin feels more resilient. Cons: The improvements in dark spots are gradual, so you need patience. It’s not a quick overnight miracle (which I didn’t expect honestly). Also, the dropper dispenses a pretty generous drop, so be careful – you really only need 2-3 drops or you might waste product. Final Verdict: I’m really happy to have found a niacinamide serum that my sensitive skin can tolerate and even thrive with. I will likely repurchase once this bottle is done, since it’s become the one serum I trust not to cause redness or breakouts. I’d recommend it to anyone with sensitive or reactive skin who still wants to tackle acne and uneven tone gently.
