    Amazing serum!

    I have dark spots and my skin is acne-prone. My sister recommended this to me since she is using a serum that has the same ingredients as this one but a different brand. I bought a couple online since I was surprised that it only costs $5 CAD. I couldn't believe it at first so I read reviews before purchasing online. All I have read were good reviews. I started using it for 2 nights now and I am already noticing results. My biggest dark spot at my cheek is starting to fade, before it was really dark brownish. But now it's already turning light pink. It's not harsh on the skin and it dries fast right after you apply it. I use it before my face moisturizer as instructed and I use it in the morning before I go to work and and in the evening before I go to bed. I will definitely keep this in my skincare routine.

    Great

    I love this product. I use it for spot treatment in the morning and night. With a few use, I can see the blemishes fade out already. Need to still use it more to be 100% on the result. It didn't break me out as well unlike some other products. I suggest take it slowly.

    A beautiful acid!

    This isn't the first time I have used acids on my skin. I suggest if you are a first time user then use a very low strength otherwise it can be painful. You need to allow time for your skin to adapt. I use this acid twice daily. On a morning before skincare and makeup application and on an evening before bed. I love it! You don't see results instantly it is something that shows over time. My skin is clearer, smoother and fine lines have vanished. It is odourless and is a slightly thick texture. Sort of like a syrup. The Ordinary do a lot of different types of acids and peels so remember if you have never used them before use the lowest strength possible and follow the instructions carefully.

    I highly reccomend this product. Well worth the investment. This skin care range is super cheap which is crazy for how good they are.

    All signs point to YES!

    This has easily and quickly become a holy grail product for me. It’s a serum type product that I glide all over my face, chest and neck. This little guy has transformed my skin. I used to suffer from congested pores that were really stubborn and this product zapped them in less than a week! Ever since I started using this product about 2 months ago, my skin has increasingly improved in both clarity and texture. My skin is smooth and hydrated from this and I feel as if the quality of my skin has reached new heights because it’s able to be more resilient and strong. This is only $6 so it doesn’t break the bank either. I’d say, if you can get your hands on this, don’t hesitate!

    .

    I have been using this for about 2 weeks now and I am loving the results I'm seeing. I've seen a large decrease in the amount of acne I get, plus my skin tone has evened out. I use this in the morning and night along with the Hylamide Pore Flush (AM) and the Glycolic Acid Toner (PM). This product is super affordable, it's under $10, so it's worth trying out for sure! I will absolutely buy this serum again!

    Great for oily skin!

    Bought this as a result of all the hype around The Ordinary, and was not disappointed. I have oily skin with larger pores around my nose that I wanted to try and minimize, and the niacinamide 10% and zinc 1% did just that. My face was less oily after less than a week of using a tiny bit to the area every evening, and my pores were less visible. I wouldn't recommend using it in the morning as I found it didn't play nice with my primer and foundation, but is great for your evening routine. It can be a bit drying with daily use, so I started using it every other evening when my skin felt a bit parched. Completely recommend!

    Reasonably priced for such a good product.

    My naturopathic doctor recommended that I try using niacinamide to treat my cystic acne. This formulation contains zinc, which is great for promoting healing and clarity of skin. The serum comes in a dropper and is easy to apply without using too much. One bottle will go a LONG way. No burning, itchiness or dryness - just clearer and more vibrant skin!

    Affordable product with good results!

    This was my first The Ordinary purchase, having seen rave reviews on instagram I jumped in not really knowing what to expect.

    The droppers are convenient and I feel they’re a bit more sanitary than other options. I have combination skin and I don’t get a lot of blemishes, but the oily part of my face is unmanageable at times.

    When I first started using it I had two small pimples which cleared up way faster than normal. The oily parts of my face became more balanced and easy to manage.

    At this price point I will definitely be including this in my routine.
