Magic in a bottle
I have been using this serum for about 3 years now. I use it as part of my daily skincare before my moisturiser. It has kept my breakouts at bay and has cleared away much of my scars left from my teenage acne. The price point is amazing too so it’s all a win win! I’m so glad the ordinary do bigger bottles!

Gentler alternative to retinols!
Used this when I had pregnancy acne (it’s safe) and it was brilliant! My spots visibly shrank overnight! Unlike retinols and salicylic acid, this was super hydrating and didn’t dry out my skin. It’s great for face and body and does make a noticeable difference. If you want something more intense, you are better with a retinol. But this was perfect for me

Good
I was looking for niacinamide item with a friendly price and I am happy that I made this purchase. I have very sensitive skin and did not want to invest too much before knowing that my skin agrees with this ingredient. I had no side effects and zinc definitely is a plus. My skin looks very good.

Another great value product from The Ordinary
This serum has a pleasant lightweight feel and is easy to apply. It did a good job at balancing sebum production, but might be better suited for oilier skins as it left my skin feeling a little dry and tight so I had to follow with a rich moisturiser. After I first used it, there was a slight tingling and I had a few small pimples come up, but these disappeared quite quickly and after that the serum did a good job of calming my skin down. However it didn't have any effect on reducing post-spot scars.

Did the formula change?
I love how this makes your pores shrink & it helps with oil control. However, I think the strength of Niacinimide is really high. It makes my face really sensitive and feels like I have a mild sunburn which can’t be good for my skin. My face is rarely ever sensitive to products so it’s not due to having sensitive skin. I used to tolerate it better in the past than I have recently so I’m so I’m wondering if there was a formula change
