  • Affordable, Amazing facial care must have (for me)
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This toner has worked miracles for my skin texture. I have suffered from acne for a long time and have struggled to find the right combination of products to help my skin and not make it worse. This toner, in combination with the same brand of moisturizer, has helped IMMENSELY. The redness of my skin and the size of my pores have gone down. I noticed a big difference within around a week. I know everyone’s skin is different, and believe me, I know that products that work for one person will not always work for another. However, for me personally, this product with the moisturizer has done its job, and I am a repeat buyer and will continue to be. The product is pretty much scentless, feels good on my face , and takes a very small amount to cover my whole face. Another bonus factor is the included dropper- this makes the application of the product VERY easy, and I feel like I waste a lot less product. The only ‘negative’ was that when I initially used this product alone my skin was a bit dried out, BUT I just added the same brand’s moisturizer and my skin feels almost flawless. I DO still have some acne but the amount is way less, and nothing else has come close to helping as much as this has. Last thing I'll say is if you're considering it and are unsure, just do it ! You literally cannot beat the price (I know I have tried COUNTLESS products way more expensive than this) and if your skin dries out a bit this company makes great moisturizer that does not seem to clog my pores- try it ! ... show more

I’ve been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% consistently for several weeks now, and it has genuinely earned a permanent place in my skincare routine. As someone with blemish-prone and combination skin, I’m always cautious when introducing new products—but this serum has exceeded my expectations in both performance and value. First, the texture is lightweight and water-based, which makes it easy to layer with other skincare products. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or sticky residue (as long as you don’t over-apply). I use just 2–3 drops for my entire face, and that’s more than enough. It sits well under moisturizer and sunscreen during the day and works seamlessly into my nighttime routine. What really impressed me is how visibly it helped balance my skin. Within the first couple of weeks, I noticed a reduction in excess oil production—especially in my T-zone. My skin looked less shiny throughout the day, and my pores appeared more refined. Over time, it also helped calm down active breakouts and reduced the frequency of new ones. While it’s not a miracle overnight fix, it works steadily and reliably. The 10% niacinamide concentration feels effective without being overly harsh. I experienced very minimal irritation, and that was only when I accidentally used too much product. Once I adjusted the amount, my skin tolerated it beautifully. The addition of zinc seems to support oil control and overall skin clarity, making it especially helpful for acne-prone or congested skin types. Another major advantage is the price point. The Ordinary is known for affordable, ingredient-focused skincare, and this serum delivers high performance without the luxury markup. It feels like you’re getting a clinical-grade formula at a fraction of the cost of similar products. Constructively speaking, beginners or those with sensitive skin may want to start slowly—perhaps once a day—to ensure their skin adjusts well to the higher concentration of niacinamide. Also, applying too much can sometimes cause a slight pilling effect, so less truly is more with this product. Overall, I would highly recommend The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% to anyone struggling with oiliness, enlarged pores, or frequent breakouts. With consistent use, it helps create a smoother, more balanced, and healthier-looking complexion. It’s simple, effective, affordable, and delivers exactly what it promises—which is honestly everything I look for in a skincare product. ... show more

  • Simple, affordable serum that actually helps control oil and smooth skin
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for a few weeks now, and honestly, I get why so many people recommend it. My skin tends to get oily, especially in the T-zone, and I’ve noticed a real difference in how balanced it looks throughout the day. It doesn’t completely eliminate oil (nothing magically does), but it definitely helps keep it under control. I also had some minor breakouts and uneven texture, and this serum seems to calm things down. My skin looks smoother, and some of the redness has reduced. It absorbs pretty quickly, though it can feel a little tacky if you use too much, so a few drops go a long way. One thing I appreciate is that it’s affordable compared to other skincare products that do similar things. No strong fragrance, simple packaging, and it does what it claims without overpromising. Overall, it’s become a regular part of my routine. Not a miracle in a bottle, but a solid, reliable product that actually helps improve the skin over time. ... show more

  • Great
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% stands out as a high-strength, no-nonsense serum that delivers visible results: the niacinamide concentration helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and uneven texture while improving overall skin clarity, the added zinc supports reduced congestion, and the lightweight, water-like formula layers easily under moisturizers without feeling greasy or heavy, so for daily use it integrates smoothly into both morning and evening routines and consistently performs above expectations for a product at its price point. ... show more
