    A must have

    I love this product! I have combination skin and for the longest time would have big cystic acne flare-ups or collections of pimples around my chin and forehead. Since I started using this I haven't had a single "bad" pimple in a loooooong. Sure maybe some small blemishes here and there but I have a sweet tooth to blame for that. Along with helping my acne, my pores are much smaller than they used to be.

    I use 3 drops day and night before other heavier serums or creams. It is water-based so it spreads really easily and is light on the skin (I use a heavier anti-wrinkle serum in the morning over top for more hydration but you may not need that). The only negatives you'll need to watch out for is...
    1) let it dry fully - it will feel a bit tacky until it has completely dried but if you try to rub in a moisturizer on too soon after application it feels as if the product balls up and lifts.
    2) It says on the company website NOT to use it with vitamin C. I've never done it but I think it makes the vitamin C ineffective in some way. I use a vitamin C serum when I feel like my skin tone needs evening out in place of the niacinamide at night.

    Also, the price for this is crazy good for a product I religiously use now.

    Amazing!!

    My teenage daughter is prone to acne. We have tried many things this has worked the best. Non drying,slight sting but goes away immediately . No residue or tackey feeling. A small amount goes a very long way. The price is perfect compared to the other name brand acne treatments.

    Finally Optimistic about Acne relief!

    I had just spent almost $200 on a serum and it lasted me less than a month as I was instructed to use it twice a day and as a spot treatment. I had heard a lot of buzz about the Ordinary and you cannot beat the price point, so I thought, why not?

    I have been using it for under a month and I have not had any new breakouts and it has made my existing breakout look less inflamed and the pimples are fading and not as raised.

    On the fence? Give it a shot! Great return policy too, so you have nothing to lose!

    Please buy this!

    I have been using The Ordinary's Niacinamide + Zinc since March 2019 (Currently writing this in Feb 2020). I am an Indian gal with the classic pigmentation issues of a person of colour. This product in combination with The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin, has healed and reduced my discoloration and my acne scars! My skin literally glows.

    I have combination dry skin and my skin colour is Mac NC 44. I also have eczema on my face and use Niacinamide when I do not have a flare up. It is very moisturizing and makes my skin glow from within.

    Amazing skin care

    I love the ordinary products as you get good quality skin care for so cheap! This is another amazing serum that I used daily and my skin has cleared up massively using it. It’s the best blemish treatment I’ve ever used

    Love this! Great product and price point

    I tried the Ordinary for the first time a couple of years ago. I have been loving them ever since. But this product has always stuck out to me! I have bigger pores and slightly oily skin naturally but using this helps reduce the oil as well as the appearance of my pores. Its am amazing price point also!

    Must have product for oily skin!

    Ive just finished my first bottle and already bought a second! This is a game changer if you have oily skin like me. After about 3 weeks of use, I noticed a decrease in the amount of oil my skin produced during the day. It also helped reduce acne and blackhead. It is super affordable and a bottle lasts for 2 months! I highly recommend to anyone with oily or congested skin.

    Works

    I first tried this maybe 2 years ago. I used it everyday and went through almost 2 bottles then stopped because of laziness and didn't see much of a difference. Over the year, my pores were really large and noticeable around my nose and cheek area. I decided to try it again when they had their 23% off sale. I noticed my pores were a lot smaller and I'm happy I started using this again.

    Hmmm.. Lately I have been noticing my pores around my nose are quite large. I have been using this product for a while now.. maybe it's not working for me anymore.

    This is a gamechanger

    My daughter has used this and it has transformed her teen oily bumpy skin into perfection. She is so pleased and I am genuinely impressed. I now tell everyone about this transformation and lots of others have benefited from this serum too.
