I really like this niacinamide serum. It has a lightweight texture, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling sticky. After using it consistently, my skin feels smoother and more balanced. It works well in my skincare routine and layers nicely with other products. The packaging was great and the product arrived in perfect condition. I’m very happy with it! ... show more

I'm always looking for skincare products that are both effective and affordable, and The Ordinary continues to impress me. This serum delivers amazing results at a price that fits almost any budget.

    • Serum Description
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This serum has helped my acne so much ! It’s clear and doesn’t have a scent. The packaging is efficient and the dropper works very well. This serum didn’t irritate my sensitive skin which is really great ! This serum has helped me prevent so many breakouts and leaves my skin glowy and plump. Amazing for acne prone skin ! This product isn’t super expensive but it works great! The consistency is non sticky but not super thin. The residue on your fingers can be applied on your neck or chest. It doesn’t dry my skin and still gets rid of acne! I would recommend this for teens or people that struggle with acne. This serum is so worth it ! ... show more

    • This is a epic serum!!!
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This serum is extremely moisturizing and effective!!! I feel like it has helped to minimize the size of the pores on my face and has even helped heal ingrown hairs on my legs as a spot treatment!!! A little bit of product goes a long ways and it absorbs quickly into my skin with no residue left over. My skin feels softer and firm! I feel like my face is glowing and dewy after I use this product at night!!! The ingredients are fantastic for my skin! The price for this product is not insanely expensive either which is a bonus!!! I'm very happy with my purchase!!! ... show more

    • Works best for blackheads and whiteheads.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using this serum for years, and I honestly don't even know what bottle I'm on anymore, probably my 10th bottle, if not more. It has become a permanent part of my skincare routine. I've tried so many other niacinamide serums over the years, and none of them ever did anything for my skin. This is the only one that actually works. It keeps my blackheads, whiteheads, and tiny closed comedones under control, especially around my chin and nose. what I love most is that it actually delivers on its promises of brighter, clearer skin, unlike so many others, and on top of that it’s very affordable, making it, in my opinion, the best niacinamide serum out there and one I will continue to repurchase and highly recommend. ... show more

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
