The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

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

I've been wanting to try a product with niacinamide as I've read that this ingredient can be good for barrier repair and my rosacea prone, dehydrated skin struggles with this very issue. TO's zinc & niacinamide seemed like a good place to start as the price point was pretty much unbeatable and the product seems to be liked by many.

I trialled the product rather …Read more

It works, I love it, can't say any negative things! It just works!

This has helped with bumps that I tend to get around the chin and jaw area. I've previously used Paula's Choice's 2 % BHA (both gel and liquid), and while that worked brilliantly in the beginning, the effect wore off a little over time. Nowadays I go back and forth between this and PC's BHA liquid.

I've also seen a slight improvement in the size of my pores. I …Read more

I'm loving this product. Great simple but effective. I'm about to start my 2nd jar of this. I'm finding it's helped in not only keeping breakouts down but also helps improve texture and clarity. Will definitely be repurchasing for a third time.
