  • 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

  • The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Review – Clearer and Less Oily SkinI
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum. It helps reduce oiliness and makes the skin look clearer and smoother with regular use. After a few weeks, my skin feels less oily and my pores look a bit more refined. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, so it layers well with other skincare products. It is also very affordable, which makes it a great choice for daily use. However, for some people it can feel a little strong at first or cause slight irritation, so it’s best to start slowly. Overall, it is an effective and budget-friendly serum for improving skin appearance. ... show more

  • Seems Like High-Quality Skincare Stuff So Far
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This was another one of my wife’s skincare additions, and while she hasn’t used it long enough yet for some dramatic life-changing transformation review, her first impression has been very positive so far. The serum itself feels much more “serious skincare product” than random gimmicky beauty items, and overall the quality seems good right out of the bottle. One thing she especially liked is that it applies smoothly and absorbs fairly quickly without leaving a super greasy or heavy feeling afterward. The texture also felt lighter than expected, which is nice because some blemish-focused products can feel sticky or overly harsh on the skin. From what she’s said so far, her skin has tolerated it well without irritation, dryness, or weird reactions during early use. The bottle size is small, but since only a little product gets used each time, it seems like it should last a decent while. The Ordinary products also seem to have a reputation for focusing more on straightforward ingredients and less on flashy marketing, which I can appreciate. Overall, it’s still early for long-term results, but so far this seems like a genuinely good-quality skincare serum and my wife has been happy with it during initial use. ... show more

Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
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

  • super helpful for textured skin super helpful for textured skin
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
this is a great product i've been using it for years! i used to have blemish prone skin and get acne flare ups but using this has helped quite a bit and even has helped with the hyperpigmentation left behind after having acne. there is no fragrance and no reside left behind. it goes on clear. make sure to not overdo it, use less to begin with because if you use too much it can cause a rash. so start slowly and then you can work your way up. the bottle size lasts about 2-4 months depending on use. super effective for scarring and redness too. a great buy and great value for the price! only 4 bucks! can be drying to skin if overused. ... show more

  • Really works! Really works!
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this niacinamide serum mainly to improve the appearance of enlarged pores, especially in my T-zone and around my nose, as I have combination skin and noticed they became more visible over time. After using it consistently for about 1.5–2 months, I can say I did see results. My skin tone looks more even, and while the serum doesn’t completely remove enlarged pores, it does make them noticeably less visible—even in photos. The price is very reasonable, and the product lasts a long time. I use it almost every day, morning and evening, and after nearly two months I still have about half the bottle left, so one bottle can easily last 2–3 months. One downside is that I noticed some crystallization forming around the rim of the bottle, so it’s important to keep it clean and properly closed. Also, avoid applying it on the lips or too close to the eye area. Overall, I’m happy with the results and think it’s a good, budget-friendly option for improving skin texture and tone. ... 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
