The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

I purchased this awhile ago and tried it on for 2 days in the morning and i had pimples on my face same day so I stopped using this. After changing my skincare routine to AHA at night time and add foreo device, my skin changes from very clogged prone, sensitive and dry to less clogged pore and normal skin, i decided to add this on in the morning between my toner and my elmusion but with very …Read more

Very quick review - niacinamide is an ingredient known to brighten skin. Sadly this did absolutely nothing for me. Contrary to the poor reviews that state this gave them acne, on me this had no effect at all. It did not give me acne, but it did not brighten my skinner or lighten any acne scars. For reference I used a whole bottle. Some people have said that they didn't see a difference …Read more

I am 19 with very oily and acne prone skin. I have been trying absolutely everything to help my skin out and this is something I brought along with a few other products from the ordinary skincare range. I was really really wanting to love this product, I saw all the hype and amazing reviews so I knew I had to try it. Unfortunatley this product broke me out like crazy at first I thought it was …Read more

It's very difficult to find good reviews. So I decided to send them an email.I got a lovely reply and I ended up with this product. I tested it over the last 2 months and so far it does a pretty good job.Can't complain! Would recommend it.

I went through a patch when my face decided to explode in a mass of closed comedones and pimples in new places, despite me not having altered my skincare routine. After reading the serum was meant to help with reduce the appearances of blemishes and congestion, I bought my first bottle and used it in the morning and in the evening.

Several weeks on, my skin did calm down, and during that …Read more

I've been using this product for six months now and I'm just starting my second bottle. My skin is noticeably smoother and less oily than it used to be, and that, for me, is amazing! No other product was ever effective at reducing my skin's sebum production.

The reason why I don't rate it 5 stars is that sometimes it stings a bit when applying it, so it probably …Read more

When The Ordinary first came out I bought everything for my son. He was overwhelmed so I used what he didn’t. Out of everything the niacinamide was the only product I saw results. It kept my sebum levels even. Made my skin glow and wasn’t a sticky serum. Now I use it in my moisturizers that have all amazing ingredients but lack this one. With The Ordinary serums I’m starting to see they are made …Read more

This isn't a holy grail product but if you are suffering from skin texture and enlarged pores, it's worth a try. It did help me with minimizing pores, they have not completely shrunk but I see a difference. I have used half a bottle and I use it in the morning under my moisturizer as it completely sinks in without any color which is a plus, you might feel a bit stickiness but let it …Read more

NO improvement at all, in pores, texture, bumps, or skin tone despite using 2 bottles over 4 months at night (ruins makeup if used in the day). I think its because its a thick tacky gel that sits in a sticky plasticy film on the top of skin, and is not able to absorb into skin. I've used other brands of niacinamide lotions and creams and seen improvement so I think this is not a great …Read more

This is now a staple of my nightly skincare routine. In the time that I’ve used it my scarring from eczema on my face has gone down significantly. My perioral dermatitis did not react negatively to this product.

No scent, light enough to not feel filmy. No frills and no exorbitant promises. Will repurchase again and again
