The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Brightening & Smoothing Serum for Blemish-Prone Skin, 30ml

I’ve tried a lot of serums over the years, and this is one I keep coming back to. It’s lightweight and absorbs quickly, sinking into the skin within seconds without feeling greasy. If you use too much it can feel slightly tacky, but with just a few drops it layers perfectly under moisturizer and makeup. I found it very gentle overall, with no burning or redness, even on more sensitive days. If your skin isn’t used to niacinamide you might feel a slight tingling at first, so it’s worth starting slow. The dropper makes application easy and you only need a small amount for your whole face, so the bottle lasts a long time and doesn’t pill with other products. Within a couple of weeks, my skin looked more even and less congested. It helps calm breakouts, smooth texture, and makes pores appear smaller. It also leaves the skin feeling soft, fresh, and balanced, with no heavy or oily residue. For the price, it’s honestly hard to beat. If your skin is prone to blemishes or oiliness, this is a simple product that actually delivers. Good value

Lightweight, affordable, and effective. It helps brighten my skin and keeps blemishes and excess oil under control. A solid everyday serum.

This is the one product I tell everyone to get if they want that smooth, clear skin look. It’s honestly like a real-life filter in a bottle because it keeps your pores looking tiny and stops your skin from getting too oily throughout the day. The real key to seeing results is being consistent with it every single morning and you absolutely have to wear SPF on top to protect your skin, or you're just undoing all the hard work! It’s super affordable but gives you high-end results; a total essential if you’re serious about your skincare routine.

This niacinamide serum from The Ordinary is a solid choice for blemish-prone skin. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a sticky finish. With consistent use, it helps reduce excess oil and makes the skin look smoother and more balanced. It’s especially good if you struggle with breakouts or uneven texture. Results aren’t instant, but over time you can notice clearer and calmer skin. Just make sure to pair it with a good moisturizer to avoid dryness. Overall, a simple and effective serum that does what it claims without overcomplicating things.

This product has really helped my skin massively. In the first week it brought out spots but as i went into week two of using it all the spots started going and my skin started clearing. I’ve suffered with acne my whole life and at some points it was so bad but then i fount this and the amazing reviews. I woudnt recommend this to someone who has just got i think this product is more of a last resort. Its made my skin clearer and look clearer and i’ve never seen my skin better. The first photo is before second is 2 weeks into using it.

Genuinely a miracle worker! I used to have such blemish prone skin, and lots of underground cysts I couldn't get rid of. This has completely transformed my skin - no more cysts and if I do get spots they're cleared so quickly!

I can see why this serum is so popular. After a few weeks of using it, my skin looks clearer, smoother and more balanced. Redness has reduced, my pores look less noticeable, and I’ve had fewer breakouts. The texture is lightweight and sinks in quickly, so it layers easily with the rest of my routine and sits well under makeup. A little goes a long way, which makes the bottle last much longer than you’d expect. For the price, the results are amazing. It’s become a regular step in my skincare and I’ll definitely keep repurchasing.

I have dry skin and used this for just over a month. The product itself feels good and absorbs well, but unfortunately I didn’t notice much improvement for my skin type. It might work better for oily or combination skin, but it just wasn’t the right fit for me.

2週間ほど夜のみ使用していますが、毛穴が引き締まった気がします。 濃度が高いため他の美容液との併用を避けています。（夜はこちら、朝はビタミンC） 混合肌なので、指に2滴取ってTゾーンを中心に馴染ませていますが、粘度が高くて少量でもかなり伸びが良いので数あるナイアシンアミド美容液の中でもコスパ最強だと思います。 使用初日は指に余ったものを頬に伸ばしたら部分的に少しピリつきを感じましたが、2日目からは大丈夫でした。乾燥する感じもありません。 ただ皆さんがレビューしているように、擦るとモロモロめっちゃ出ます。あまり擦らないように薄く伸ばす程度に塗れば問題なし。 クリーム・オイルインタイプの油分が入ったミスト化粧水が好きでよく使うのですが、ナイアシンアミドは親水性なのでミスト化粧水を使う時は洗顔後すぐにこちらを塗っています。 まだ2週間なのでざらつき改善やトーンアップ効果は感じていませんが、コスパも良いので続けてみる価値はあるかなと思います。

Good product

Very nice, I just recently started using Niacinamide and I do have dry skin and was afraid it would be too drying but I also have mature 50-year-old skin and it doesn't dry out my skin at all. When I was researching this product it said that because I have mature skin, it would likely not dry out my dry skin more and would sort of balance itself out and it does it actually, tightens my skin without drying. I'm so impressed with The Ordinary Niacinamide it makes my skin look and feel lovely. I cleanse my face then use the Niacinamide, and wait for five minutes then use hyaluronic acid wait half an hour then moisturizing cream and since I started using this Niacinamide my face feels amazingly soft, tightened and moisturized. I absolutely love it I just ordered The Ordinary hyaluronic cream and I can't wait to use that in my skin care routine as well to see if it makes a big difference too. I highly recommend if you want your face to feel great. I am not a bot.

If used regularly, it gives great results. Just make sure it's original when you buy it. What worked best for me was using a cleanser first preferably one with vitamin C to wash my face. After it dries, I apply the product, leave it for 15 minutes, then follow up with a fragrance-free moisturizer cream because the serum itself has little fragrance, to avoiding irritating sensitive skin.

Ottimo prodotto, lo sto utilizzando da qualche giorno e la mattina mi sveglio con la pelle più luminosa.
