A winner for sure!
I have been using this serum for yearssss. When I think, "Hmmm, let me try another niacinimide serum," I always find myself coming back for this one! It's gentle, effective, and I like that it has zinc in it. I normally don't see zinc in other niacinimide serums. I also like that this serum has simple ingredients that aren't irritating and that it actually has percentages, so I know it'll be effective! It's affordable too, so that's a plus!!

Broken bottle
Package arrived with product box wet; once box was opened, the cap of the bottle was broken and product had leaked out. There was only about 3/4 of bottle content left. Need to return for replacement or refund.

its not bad but i dont think it works unfortunately
ive used one bottle which lasted a month and it doesnt really make your large pores go away, it just makes the appearance of your pores look a little smoother when you put it on..no matter of the consistency, it just enhances the appearance… But on to a derma roller and Collagen supplement :)

I'll always come back to it
I used this for about a year and had the clearest skin I've ever had. I was also pregnant, so it was the only thing I was able to use for my adult acne. recently I've been struggling with my skin (under 2 years postpartum) and grabbed a different brands niacinamide. it was more expensive, but had a higher % so I assumed it was better. my skins been a mess ever since! I came back to this one as it doesn't clog my pores, and actually keeps my skin clear. if you're looking for a niacinamide to help with acne, this is it!

Great for my sensitive, acne prone skin
I am in my 30's and have annoyingly sensitive and acne prone skin that is also somehow oily and dry at the same time. Basically, all of the problems. My skin has loved this product. I layer it on bare skin under my moisturizer in the morning and it helps control excess oil all day. My acne has also lessened over time, although it is not totally gone. My pores seem a bit more refined and redness reduced. I actually have been skipping makeup for the past few days because my skin is looking so nice (and I am at usually a bad skin time of the month, iykyk). Best of all, no bad reaction at all to this product for my ultra sensitive skin. Only negative is that it does sometimes pill if I apply it when my skin is oily already at all, so it has to be applied to freshly washed skin only. I've repurchased this many times.

Best for Acne!
I have oily skin, and with that comes breakouts. I especially get hormonal breakouts around my chin. This stuff is amazing! If I feel an "underground" zit or if I have an active breakout, I can both see and feel a difference literally the next day. Salycilic acid hasn't worked too well for me to nix the breakouts, so if that's been the case for you, definitely give this a try! It's been a godsend for me!

The Product I keep going back to
I have combination skin that is acne prone (even at 31…sigh). I used the on a suggestion by my aunt a few years ago and it helped to clear up my skin quite a bit.I stopped using it for a while and tried other products (the beauty of advertising), but this seems to consistently keep my skin clear so I went back to it. With the ordinary, I always warn people that you have to really read through what the serums etc interact with. I will continue to purchase this!

Love it!!
This is my second time purchasing and planning on buying it again and again! I visibly saw a difference overnight and my skin felt smoother. I have fairly sensitive skin, so if it causes purging for you, don’t give up! Once your skin adjusts to it you’ll be glad you kept using it!

Second time buying
This is the second time I've tried this product I like it. However, the only thing is this product seems a little water down compared to the first one i purchased.
