The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

Decent for the price, sticky and tacky on skin. Leaves a white film on skin if you rub it into your skin for too long, however most people can avoid this. Did lighten my PIE after 2 weeks but didn't have much of a dramatic change.

My skincare regimen looks like this, and it is for dry combination skin if anyone is interested. It was recommended to me by the ordinary, and I had great results with it! I am not 100% sure how the product would perform on its own, but combined with others, it is fantastic!

Im nearly out of my first bottle of this product so i have been using this for about 2 and a half months every day. I have dry, sensitive, acne prone skin with a lot of scaring. This product was not a game changer in my skincare routine but I think it is a solid one! When i bought this product my skin was not at a good point. It was very dry, i had broken skin barrier and bc of that my skin was …Read more

I had moderate acne, dark spots from acne, and oily skin. I decided to try The Ordinary. I started using 4 products: salicylic acid solution, niacinimide + zinc, 5% lactic acid, and ascorbyl glucoside. My regimen is Just facial wash then one of those serums. Nothing else. I use the niacinimide then salicylic acid in the day (I wash my face twice at daytime) and on alternate nights, the lactic …Read more

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
