    Made for me

    This serum really works well on me. After a month or so of consistent usage, it significantly improved the occurrence of large, under the skin bumps. I tried another brand's niacinamide + zinc solution (as the large bottles of The Ordinary were out of stock) and the acne came back!

    BREAKING OUT

    I really really wanted to love this product- after hearing so many good things about it and reading all the positive reviews I was SOLD. I use it in a regime suggested to me from The Ordinary's website. I have had acne prone skin for YEARS. I am nearly one year postpartum and experiencing crazy breakouts. The consistency of this product is very thick and sticky to me? It just felt so heavy on my face? I believe it caused me to break out EVEN MORE- and in places I didn't normally break out! I do believe it reduced my pores a bit, but I will not continue because of the new breakouts I keep experiencing.

    This product works for me.

    I have been using this product for roughly 4 months since starting my Korean skincare journey. I have noticed a significant difference in my skin. I had super oily and problematic skin that I would have to treat day and night with benzoyl peroxide. When I first transitioned from that regimen to the new one, I had bad breakouts. But I continued and after about 2 weeks, my skin was doing good. Now, I get by with using the benzoyl peroxide lotion occasionally and I think that is because my moisture barrier is restored. I have tried other serums by Byoma and so far the ordinary has been my favorite in my routine. It is very light weight and refreshing. I do believe it reduces inflammation. I also suffer from itchy scalp and dandruff sometimes. After using a dandruff shampoo, my scalp was still itchy in one spot, so I decided to try this serum on my scalp. Lo and behold, it worked! I was shocked because that one spot would be itchy after shampooing often and one application with the serum stopped it. So I do believe that this product helps to reduce skin inflammation. It does something lol I would recommend you try it.

    Game changer

    This serum has been a staple in my skincare routine for 6+ years now, and it's my favorite TO product to date because it is literally the ONLY thing that has ever had any effect on my incredibly oily skin. I love trying new products, but the niacinamide + zinc is the one thing I absolutely do not want to be without. It took weeks of consistent use (3 drops in the AM and PM), and I did experience some mild purging in the first couple of months, but I went from needing to blot my face every 1-2 hours to occasionally needing to blot once or twice a day! I've also noticed fewer breakouts (I used to get painful cystic acne along my jawline, which rarely happens anymore). To anyone who is considering adding this to their skincare routine: definitely do a patch test first. Also, crosscheck the ingredients list with any other products that you use to make sure that everything will play well together. Some products can cause irritation if used together, while others can actually make each other less effective. (There are apps that can help with this.)

    The best niacinamide

    I’ve been using this product for a few years and it is wonderful. I love the price point as well. I’ve tried others but find this one works the best. It isn’t sticky like other serums and works great under other products. I have sensitive skin and have had no issues with this.

    I've re-purchased this for years

    This product is great, I find it very moisturizing leaving my skin bouncy. It works well under makeup. This w/ the blemish serum by ordinary is what cleared most my skin. (I still get hormonal acne)

    Love it

    I absolutely love Niacinamide from The Ordinary because it has completely transformed my skin in the best way. It helps control oil, minimize the look of pores, and smooth out my skin texture without feeling heavy or irritating. I appreciate how affordable yet effective it is, proving that great skincare doesn't have to be expensive. It layers well with my other products and consistently gives me clearer, healthier-looking skin, making it a staple in my daily routine.
