Hey Sarah! I used to use Topaz but I find the noise reduction in LR is excellent and I no longer use Topaz. I find in Lightroom if you just want to make your photo a little bit sharper overall, don’t go higher than 30 on the noise reduction slider. If your photo is really noisy, push it to 50. Anything above 50 though and your photo can get what I call a “overcooked” look. Where it’s been in the noise reduction oven for to long and it comes out looking extra soft and a little fake. But play around with it and see what you like.

When do you use noise reduction if needed - and do you use anything outside of LR?
