I've repurchased this 3 times already, as I've noticed such an improvement in my skin since I started using it. I hardly get any break outs these days, and if I do, they aren't cystic like they used to be. This serum sinks in well, I pat it into my skin after cleansing and toning, before I use my moisturiser. At only around £5, it's an absolute bargain and now I'll never go without it!

This product is amazing! I have had bad hormonal acne for 5-6 years and I have never found anything to calm it. I can safely say this is the best thing I had used I apply it morning and evening and then apply a moisturiser as without a moisturiser I feel it would dry out my skin. It is affordable and works amazingly well I’ve seen changes in just 1-2 weeks! Would 1000000% buy this again I’m in love x

Amazing product, I'm so happy I purchased this I had heard a lot of good things about it so I thought I'd give it a go, I have congested akin and hate how foundation looks over all the bumps, that was until I found this, definitely recommend to anyone with the same problem just be careful as its strong stuff

I love love love this product! I honestly didn't know that moisturizing your skin actually helps it to be less oily so I only recently started using a moisturizer, but was then disappointed that my face would be shiny all day. This product solves that! I dab a bit on my cheeks and forehead and rub it in and then put on my moisturizer over and it helps to lessen the shininess. I am super impressed especially for the price. I would definitely recommend this product. I have pretty sensitive skin but as far as I have noticed the past few months, it hasn't caused any breakouts or discomfort in the moment.

I was very, very, very excited with the launch of The Ordinary skincare range and this particular serum was one of those products in the launch that I was most interested in. The main reason being is that niacinamide is one of those skincare ingredients that I have always had a fascination in as many scientific papers discuss the benefits of this ingredient on the skin. What also further added to this fascination was Korean Skincare, as many products incorporate the use of niacinamide and in the products that I have used with this, my skin has felt much more balanced and brighter. Did I see the same results with The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%? Well its a tough one because I did see some improvement of some pigmentation (yay blemish scars!) but I did not feel any form of improvement in terms of skin being balanced. For the price however, I am not really complaining but I can't say I am raving about this either.

Seems to be working ok albeit slowly, will keep using it to even skin tone and also to reduce oiliness. Oiliness is the main issue I have and I think it has a slight effect

This product is great, I’ve just purchased my second bottle and I’ve had great results with it. I use it every evening after my acid toner and follow with the buffet serum and a night mask and it’s really helping my skin. Spots are greatly reduced by the morning and heal much faster and I definitely have far less breakouts. This has completely eliminated the deep and very sore under the skin spots I used to get.

I am getting fewer breakouts with this and the oily mess on my forehead has calmed down loads. I am still breaking out but it’s Been 3 weeks so will continue to give it ago. I find 3 drops is enough and I gently pay in to my skin until it absorbs and I haven’t experienced any pilling and it drys down quickly for me. No smell to the product and hasn’t effected makeup application.

I got this for my hyperpigmentation and dark spots left behind from years of cystic acne. The hype and positive reviews it got and the £5 price tag made it too good to be true. I've been using this product every morning for over 1.5 months and it has hardly made a difference to my skin. I use four drops, one each for my cheeks, forehead and chin and rub it in. It takes forever to be absorbed, I spend at least 30 mins doing other things while I wait after putting this on but it won't absorb and makes other products and makeup pill up when applied over this. Complete disaster and very overrated
