Since using this I find my skin stays more hydrated and protects my barrier. It does not break me out and it’s a great price.

This didn't do much for my skin except maintain oil levels. The texture is very tacky and has to be applied a certain way for the product to be absorbed properl...
Hydrating
Since using this I find my skin stays more hydrated and protects my barrier. It does not break me out and it’s a great price.Not for me
I don’t know what it was with this product but it definitely wasn’t for me. I felt like it broke me out, made my dry skin worse I had to stop using it but I know so many people who it worked so well forPerfect for oily skin
This has really helped to relieve that 'oily' feeling that builds up over the day. I cocktail it with my moisturiser and it seems to absorb easier this way. I can't live without it!Holy grail for acne prone skin
Love the ordinary products and this is no different. It’s such a good serum if you’re prone to breakouts. I notice a difference particularly in my hormonal jaw line acne when using this. And the price is amazing as well.Great product
Quick and cheap little fix for congestion!Go to
I have oily/combination skin and have been using this daily in the morning for a couple years now and it’s definitely made a huge difference in reducing the redness and balancing my skingreat product
i really like this product and ordinary in general but i would rather buy the Hyaluronic acid but its still awesomeAmazing
For the price, it is amazing and a good introduction to niacinamide.Great
Works well at reducing breakouts. Great price.love it can not live without
i love this serum i defiantly saw a difference in my skinFantastic for if your moisturiser lacks niacinamide
I am no longer using this regularly because I now use a moisturiser which already contains niacinamide, but this serum made a noticeable difference and is such an amazing price. It suits all ages and is easy to apply.Dark Spots Gone
The ordinary has been my skins best friend. I cannot recommend it enough. This specific produce I’ve now repurchased a couple times and it has helped so much with my dark spots. Lightening them up and I’m slowly seeing them disappear.Such great value
The ordinary range is fab and this product is no exception. Comparable to a $60 product I used recentlyGreat for the price
Super good for the price!Great for the price point
Feels lovely and moisturising, but if your goal is to improve dark spots I recommend investing in another product. This is still a wonderful product for the price point, and is great in my boyfriend's routine to combat his seborrheic dermatitisEffective product
This product has helped even out my pigmentation from sun damage. Repurchased twice.Essential part of my routine
I’ve been using TO Niacinamide for years now and it’s essential in my routine. I started getting the odd pimple here and there in my 30s, and this totally keeps them at bay. If I get lazy and don’t use it for a bit my skin absolutely notices the difference. There are so many benefits to niacinamide too beyond blemish control, so for the price, this is such good value.Zit zapper
A drop of this on my zits before bed makes them less painful, red and swollen and they clear up faster. Def recommendIt works
It works for drying out acne and other bumps, it’s not as good as Boost Labs acne serum, and it does tend to sting a little bit, so I use it on my back and chest and avoid using it on my faceDidn’t work for me :(
This serum unfortunately didn’t make a change in my skin, specifically for my perioral dermatitis. I had been recommended it by others in forums online who had successful results in clearing their skin. I had better luck with other skincare products containing zinc as an ingredient but the main pro about this product which I could appreciate is the low price point compared to the other replacement...Read MoreGlowing skin
Absolutely love this, I’ve noticed my skin is clearer and glowing since using this. I have much less breakouts and skin appears more even.Could be better
It's good with declogging and reducing pores but it's very sticky and makes skin very shiny. It also doesn't soak in straight away so I don't recommend putting it on straight before bedGreat for oily skin
This serum has been working great for my skin. I have been using it in the mornings and it goes on well and doesn’t make my other serums and sunscreen pill. A great way to keep my skin clear without using harsh acidsI won't be repurchasing
I really wish I could say it lived up to the hype but unfortunately for me it didn't do anything to my skin :( I used this regularly for just under a year but now I've decided to stop using as there was no change.Favourite product!
This product has really helped my breakouts and made my skin clearer. It's a very good, affordable product that actually works. It doesn't have a strong scent and the texture is very nice. Definitely Recommend!Great product
Easy to use and feels great on the skin. Very reasonably priced.Great product
Great product for the price point. I use it religiously morning and night as a base to layer other serums/products. Doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I've bought the supersize bottle because I use this so much.Can’t go wrong for the price
Not sure what it’s doing but for this price you can’t really go wrong. I feel like it provides hydration but don’t see much difference in my skin other than than. No strong smell. Drys a little sticky.the BEST
I have super oily acne prone skin and this serum is one of the only ones that doesn’t feel sticky and oily on my skin. I’ve seen a BIG reduction in breakouts since using this. It feels luxurious and smooth on my skin.Glad I gave this another go
I remember using this years ago and hated the gooey texture and found it impossible to layer. Recently though, I’ve been on the hunt for more affordable products and decided to give this another go. So glad I did as I love it now! Not sure if the formula changed over the years or if I just have a better routine now but I now find the texture fine and it does not pill. Helpful for my early thirties...Read Moregreat
I have been using this product for a while now and I feel like it’s helped my skin a lot and it has improved my uneven skin toneamazing to skin
this is such an amazing product , i only used it twice for 2 nights and i’ve seen the biggest difference already. really recommend this a lotNo sign of irritation
Lots of products like this irritate my daughter’s sensitive skin, this helps with her breakouts without an issueDefinitely not for dry skin
Not the right product for drier skin. The zinc definitely absorbs all oils so you would benefit from this a lot more if you’re combination/oilyGood for the price
I usually switch to the ordinary intermittently to give my bank account a break from the more expensive serums. I found this product is hydrating and most importantly does not pill under makeup. Very spreadable so don’t require a lot of it. I haven’t noticed much of a difference in terms of my skin quality but I do use a variety of other products and perhaps I’m not using consistently enough to se...Read MoreGreat serum
This serum is great, it’s hydrating and makes me skin glow. It does pill with certain products, so only use it at night.Would buy again
100 percent worth itOn my second bottle
This is a really great product and such an amazing price!! It’s helping keep my skin clear and my pores have improved. Glad you can now buy it in a larger size!I like this a lot. It keeps my mature skin that still breaks out clean and calm. Perfect for day 4 onwards of a needling session. I break out when I don’t use it.
Definitely exceeded my expectations.No changes in skin
I have been using this for 3 months now and have not seen any changes or improvements as yet. Serum is gentle and fragrance free.Meh
I have certainly used better, and didn't finish off this product. However considering the price, I'd recommend trying it to see if it works for you :)Hydrating
Makes my face feel really plump and hydrated when applying it.Another staple that I can't go without
I have bought this soo many times. It's perfect to mix with my Corsx snail mucin to spread it further and help both ingredients work better and I use it on its own sometimes as a spot treatment and then sometimes as prevention or to help with oiliness or the size of my pores. It really helps calm down my skin and blemishes and it's something I can't live without, up there with Retinol and BHA's. ...Read MoreAlright Niacinamide
I love the value point and how long it lasts, but I didn't really see much of a big difference with this product. Its great that it is fragrance free.Great for your skin
Great for your skin. I also use it to thin out my thick moisturizer and it helps to leave me feeling refreshed all day.So good!
I have been using this in conjunction with the HA serum from The Ordinary and honestly they are amazing together, my skin has never felt softer and been more hydrated and I’ve used more spenny Vit B serums for years. Absolutely in love, can work both morning and nightLOVE!
This serum is my go to! I use it at night and in the morning and my skin has never looked better! It helped to reduce the amount of breakouts and helped with redness. I have pretty sensitive skin, and this caused no irritation at all. Would repurchase over and over again.LOVELY SERUM
Love this serum, super light on the skinPills under make up
Can only use it at night, as it has a weird consistency and goes tacky when put on the face. They should make a better formula.10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND
this is such a good serum, lovely feeling on the skin, not oily, not dry. sorted out the little bumps on my face in weeksEpic
Love this use it once or twice a week and as a spot treatment. I've got a heap of friends onto it and they love it too. Amazing for its price pointYes yes yes
Another great product for an insane price, the ordinary is amazing :) this serum isn’t sticky or thick, soaks in nicely and can apply more creams on top without feeling like a glazed donutJust got this
I only just got this yesterday. I have used it last night and this morning and so far it feels amazing on the skin. No faults so farBroke me out
Not good. Broke my skin out.Great for brightening and acne
I damaged my skin barrier in high school using loads of BP, decided to make the change to this and my skin has never looked clearer! Way more affordable toovery good
So good, smoothes skin out and is hydrating. Definitely helped to clear my skin up and is very effective at getting rid of redness,Phenomenal results
I have been using this for nearly a year twice a day and my oh my it has changed my skin for the better! I was suffering from cystic hormonal acne and since applying niacinamide every day I have barely had a breakout. Given how affordable and effective The Ordinarys formulation is, I cannot recommend more, it should be in everyone's skin care routine!Better than more expensive competitors
This works so hard on my face! I have an oily t zone and some uneven rough texture - especially on my forehead. After a few weeks of daily use, it made my skin visibly brighter and clearer. Whenever I take a break from using it, the issues come back. Dries slightly tacky but once you moisturise, it doesn't matter as much.She's a good one
I really like this product and we all know (surely) how good zinc is for the skin and anti-aging. This product I use a few times a week in the morning before applying moisturiser and I really like it. Maintains freshness and clarifies my skin.Still a great product
I've been using this for something like 6+ years now and I'm still coming back to it - it's a lightweight gel that isn't sticky, and unlike other products that are suited for oiliness doesn't dry out my skin at all. When I've stopped using this to trial another product my skin texture just hasn't been as good. 10/10 for this one!Nice serum to add to routine
I love products containing niacinamide, though this was moisturizing and quite affordable compared to others I felt it was more thick and took longer to absorb into my skin therefore leaving it feeling a bit tacky. Other than that if you're looking for something thick to create a barrier on you skin I think this works quite well!It was not amazing
This product was okay but nothing special. I found that it didn't really do anything except dry my sensitive skin out. I will not re-purchase it.Okay for the price
This serum worked great for my breakouts. I did find the serum to leave a sticky feeling after applying it though. Great packaging and great value for money.Not bad
I have since found a more efficient serum for my skin, but before I found my holygrail serum, I used this serum from The Ordinary. I was able to use up a whole bottle. It did a decent job to keep my skin moisturised, but I didn't notice any differences regarding my blemishes. But it didn't irritate my skin either.Lovely serum
This is a lovely serum by the Ordinary. Perfect to keep your acne at bay. Highly recommended!Great serum
Helps reduce break outs and keeps my skin looking bright and clear.nice glowy look
it gives my skin a nice glowy look and feels hydratedA staple
When I first started using this I definitely noticed my pores shrink but it does not seem to reduce shine or oiliness for me. I use it on my face and on my body if I have skin that is irritated in any way. Love it.It leaves a sticky residue
I found this product to leave a sticky residue on my skin, which made my skin oily. On application it felt really soapy and it dosent absorb as easily in the skin.Bright skin
I love this product - was recommended to me and helps keep my skin bright throughout the dayGreat serum
Really well priced serum, very happy with how it improved my skin.Great
It is a must have, my skin is so much better with this product. It is my third bottle.Works a treat
Works so well to reduce pore size and also help with my sometimes blemish prone skin. A little goes a long way. Brilliant value for moneyNothing amazing
Did not notice any major changes, would recommend other products over this oneA must
I get hormonal acne and without this product the acne always comes back.Good for pigmentation and oiliness
I use this on my oily T-zone a couple of times a week, my moisturiser has niacinamide in it also but this is useful if I am having a particularly stubborn breakout. Also seems to have helped blackheads on my nose, and to fade old acne scars a over the course of a month. It does cause a bit of pilling though.Great serum for keeping mine snd teen daughters skin clear
Absorbs quickly and is great for clearing my skin overall. I dont think it does much for big cysts but helps with small red bumps and black headsGreat product!
Great product, works well for blemishes and marks. One of the cheaper brands, but works very well for how much it costs. This is something I would use as a cheaper alternative in my routine.Good
Good product for blemishes but the texture could be better as it stays tacky for a few minutes after applying.My go to morning serum
When you are using it you don't realize how much it does to your skin, but once you stop using it you can see the difference and missing it. It makes my skin blemish free and radiant.Less redness
I find that if I get pimples they are a lot less red than they used to beGreat product
I started using this last year but has not been consistent. Decided to give it a try again recently and it made my skin feel so good. My husband also started using this last week and he also liked it! Made our skin very supple the next morning.Very Good
I have sensitive skin which can get irritated really easily and I also pick my face quite a bit. I have been using this for almost a year now and i love it. It is nice and light and gets rid of blemishes in like 3-4 days. Although it has a bit of a weird residue which i don't like although it kind of disappears once you put moisturiser on top.Good for its value
Been using this as it was one of the cheaper options and has been good so far. Will need to continue consistently using this in the long term to see some results.made me break out
works for some people but not meGood
This worked fairly well, I seemed to be less oily throughout the day. I have combination skin and I use this on my nose chin and forehead. I think it is good. However, I find that it can pill, especially when I use sunscreen soon after even after 10 mins it pills with sunscreen, quite annoying. Otherwise I would recommend this to people with oily or blemish prone skin.Really great
This product really made my skin much softer and more healthy. I can see a brightness in my skin as well. Definitely recommend.Didn't work for me.
I tried this product since I've heard such great things about it, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. After two weeks of using it, I found that my nose started getting blackheads.Best!!
Used along with other Ordinary products, I have actually managed to make my pores less visible!!Not for my skin
Tried it for a few months- just not for me, dried my skin out after every use and didn't like how it felt on my skin.Good
helps to keep my skin matte.Good
helps to keep my skin matte.Matifying
I like this product, I find it helps to keep my skin matte. Currently only using it in the mornings.Great, but can be drying
Great product for price point. Helped to calm my skin and help with breakouts but it is a bit drying. I prefer the asap niacinimide as it is a bit gentler and less drying. I will continue to buy this for a once or twice a week use.Nice
