I was pleasantly surprised to find my eyelashes and brows growing back! I had thinning brows as I age. Now I’ve thrown away my brows pencils!

: A Game Changer for Oily, Blemish-Prone Skin
This serum has truly changed my skincare routine for the better. I have oily, acne-prone skin with visible pores and occasional breakouts, and after using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for about a month, my skin looks noticeably clearer and more balanced.It has a slightly thick texture but absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky finish. I use it twice a day — morning and night — right after cleansing.

Clearer, Brighter Skin in Just Weeks!
I’ve been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% twice daily for about a month now, and the results are impressive. My skin feels smoother, my pores appear smaller, and I’ve noticed fewer breakouts overall. The gel-serum texture absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue.A few highlights: • Potent yet gentle – the 10% niacinamide targets blemishes, oil control, and uneven tone without irritation. • Affordable and effective – this serum delivers results on par with pricier products. • Great layering – plays well with other favorites (hydrators, sunscreen)—just be cautious if you use strong acids like AHAs/BHAs in the same routine.My skin looks healthier and more balanced since I added this to my routine. Highly recommend for oily or combination skin, or anyone looking to refine texture and tone. Don’t forget to follow with sunscreen during the day!

Do not wait to buy this for hypersensitive skins is amazing.
THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING. DO not wait or second guess like I went for it and I am so selective and picky for my lack of ignorances in my skin or neglect and also read on doing skincare now 36 years old and this HELP my skin A LOT. I used with a hydration product with it and feel tight and skin is definitely improving. Do not over do it, as hypersensitive skin like just enough and than slowly let your skin tolerant more serum, but LOVE IT! I will buy again. It works for oily or dry skin combo as well.

Visible results and much more uniform skin
I have been using The Ordinary serum for about three weeks and I am very satisfied with the results. From the first days I noticed less brightness in the T-zone and a softer texture. Acne marks and small imperfections have been reduced little by little, and pores are less visible. It has not caused me irritation or sticky feeling, it absorbs quickly and works very well before the moisturizer. I recommend it 100% if you are looking to improve the texture of the skin and control excess fat.

Glowing skin
My skin has noticeably improved since using this in the mornings along with a retinol at night. It feels a little slimy/sticky going on until it fully absorbs. When I put lotion on after, the tackiness does go away. My skin has this crazy shine now. I am not usually someone who needs to powder their nose, but I am not. My skin is so soft and supple. Even my aesthetician noticed the change and she is shocked. Completely worth the price.

I’m a new customer-so impressed!
I’ve been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% serum twice a day for about a month now, and I’m seriously impressed. My skin feels so much smoother, my pores look smaller, and I’ve had fewer breakouts overall. The gel-serum texture sinks in quickly and doesn’t leave any sticky feeling, which I love.Some things that really stand out:It’s powerful but still gentle—great for managing oil, breakouts, and uneven tone without irritating my skin.It’s super affordable, and honestly, the results are just as good as some high-end serums I’ve tried.It layers really well with other products in my routine, like hydrating serums and sunscreen. Just a heads-up: if you’re using strong exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs, be mindful when combining them.Since adding this into my routine, my skin looks way more balanced and healthy. I’d definitely recommend it if you have oily or combination skin, or if you’re just trying to smooth out texture and even your tone. And definitely don’t skip the sunscreen in the morning!

would definitely purchase again
Good purchase overall! I’ve been using it consistently, and it really helps my skin look smoother and more even. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any sticky feeling. I also noticed fewer breakouts and my skin feels less oily during the day.It takes a bit of consistency to see real results, but if you stick with it, it works. Great value for the price, especially if you’re looking to improve texture and manage oil.Definitely a solid product to keep in your skincare routine.
