The OrdinaryNiacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Smoothing Serum for Blemish-Prone Skin

Amazing Results for My Skin!I’ve been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for a few weeks now and I can truly see a difference in my skin. My pores look smaller, my skin tone is more even, and breakouts have noticeably reduced. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, without leaving a sticky feeling. I also love that it doesn’t have a strong scent — perfect for sensitive skin like mine.The combination of niacinamide and zinc has helped reduce redness and oiliness throughout the day. I apply it before my moisturizer both morning and night, and it layers well under makeup. For the price, the quality is unbeatable. I highly recommend this serum if you’re looking for a simple, effective solution to improve overall skin clarity and balance.⸻Let me know if you’d like a shorter version or one written in a more casual or professional tone!

This product give instant results but I think a lower percentage would be better for my sensitive dehydrated oily skin . Because it makes my face feel too tight while letting sits in which don't take long and it doesn't leave a greasy feeling and no residue but it will feel sticky if you use too much which is unnecessary Because a little goes a long way and I don't have a tiny face so.... for brighting dark marks am not sure Because I haven't been using it for a month yet and am using other products that my give me a brighting effect so I wouldn't know if this product would contributes to that .if you have sensitive skin like me I don't think is wise to use this product after a exfoliating toner my skin burns when I do so and I only use this product once a day in the night even though it says it's safe for morning and night I think because of the high percentage doing it twice puts my skin in a comprising position which I quickly learn.

This stuff is MAGIC. I've always been a slow healer with a tendency for hyperpigmentation. This stuff is the perfect solution for getting breakouts to go away fast. I have a pretty substantial skin care routine, so I can't speak to whether this has helped prevent breakouts.Here are two pics to show the wildly healing power of this stuff. Taken one day apart with two applications of the serum between (once at night, once in the morning). The breakouts were from eating dairy rip. They normally stay large and darker red for about a week, but now I'm down to 2-3 days!The literal only cons: it is fairly sticky and the color/consistency is reminiscent of...a certain kind of bodily fluid that I'm not typically trying to put on my face like that, if you get what I mean. Still absolutely worth the buy--I've gone through like 4 bottles now lol.

I’ve been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% twice daily for about a month now, and the results are impressive. My skin feels smoother, my pores appear smaller, and I’ve noticed fewer breakouts overall. The gel-serum texture absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue.A few highlights:• Potent yet gentle – the 10% niacinamide targets blemishes, oil control, and uneven tone without irritation.• Affordable and effective – this serum delivers results on par with pricier products.• Great layering – plays well with other favorites (hydrators, sunscreen)—just be cautious if you use strong acids like AHAs/BHAs in the same routine.My skin looks healthier and more balanced since I added this to my routine. Highly recommend for oily or combination skin, or anyone looking to refine texture and tone. Don’t forget to follow with sunscreen during the day!

I would give this a full five stars except i have oneee issue. If you dont properly moisturize with a HEAVY (emphasis on heavy) cream, you get these little beady like residue crumbs on your face. i just double on cream and oil after use. other than that, actually really helps my skin!!! It gives me that glass skin look and lessens the tiny red bumps i get on my cheeks

From the first weeks I noticed my skin more balanced, with less redness and a much softer texture. It helps to visibly minimize pores and controls excess fat without drying it out. In addition, it has improved the general tone of my skin, giving it a brighter and healthier appearance. It absorbs quickly, does not leave a sticky feeling and works perfectly under makeup. An essential if you are looking for a clearer, more uniform and radiant skin!"

Niacinamide is a chemical that works over time. No immediate results, but it hasn't caused a breakout. The only noteworthy thing so far is that bc the concentration is so high, it tingles a little on my skin and likely will for anyone who's not used to the product. Just start off using it every other night or even every three nights if it's bothering you, and you'll build tolerance and can eventually switch to using it every night if you want. There's no need to use it twice a day

When looking at products to develop a routine I landed on The Ordinary. This was one of my suggested items from the quiz on their website. It is also the same ingredient that I used formally in my mix by a competitor so I decided to give it a try. I like the effects so far and will continue to use this product with a few others from The Ordinary.
