The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Smoothing Serum for Blemish-Prone Skin

Helps keep my oily, acne-prone skin under control
I have oily, combination skin with enlarged pores and I’ve been dealing with breakouts since my teenage years. I also have PCOS, which makes my skin even more oily, so I’ve tried many acne products over the years.From my experience, zinc and niacinamide really work, and this serum helps me keep my skin under control. I use it about 3–4 times a week, usually at night, after cleansing and toning. It’s one of the final steps in my routine.The texture is on the thicker side and can feel slightly sticky or pill a bit, so I prefer using it at night — that doesn’t bother me at all. What matters is the result. My skin looks noticeably better with this serum than without it. Breakouts dry out faster, heal quicker, and overall I get fewer small pimples.I don’t use it daily because my skin already experiences enough stress from dry indoor air and cold weather, so I apply a nourishing cream on top to keep my skin balanced.The serum is clear, has no noticeable scent, and I really like the dropper — it’s easy to control the amount and apply it evenly.Overall, I’m very happy with this product. It’s been a reliable part of my skincare routine.

It really improved akin.
Desperate for a solution for my oily skin (53 years) and sebaceous hyperplasia ( enlarged bumpy pores) I came across this serum looking for solutions, I tried everything even with the dermatologist treatment and nothing, I started using this and OH WOW, the difference in my skin texture, my pores, oil control and my sebaceous hyperplasia almost gone, ( this appears when is excessive sebum production) I can’t be more happy with my results. No fragrance is a plus, really easy to apply and is one of the best products I came across for my face.

Amazing for my dry, congested skin
This is so effective, I was surprised. I have dry, congested, rosacea prone skin and I was amazed at how effective this was. Within the first two or so times I applied it, it worked wonders on the appearance of my pores and congestion on my nose and foreheads, although it did peel on my more sensitive areas. I spaced it out in application and wow has it made a huge difference. Had become a new staple product for me!

Noticeable results and great for oily/acne-prone skin
I’ve been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% consistently, and it has made a noticeable difference in my skin. If you struggle with oiliness, breakouts, or enlarged pores, this serum is definitely worth trying.The texture is lightweight and water-based, absorbs quickly, and layers well with other skincare products. It doesn’t feel greasy or heavy, which I really appreciate. After a few weeks of use, my skin looks more balanced, less shiny, and overall smoother.I’ve also noticed that it helps calm breakouts and reduce redness over time. While it’s a high concentration of niacinamide, it hasn’t irritated my skin when applied correctly (a few drops, once daily at first).Another big plus is the price. The quality you get for this cost is impressive compared to much more expensive serums that offer similar benefits.

very good

I’ve been using this serum from The Ordinary for a while now, and honestly, I’m impressed. Within a short time I started noticing a visible difference — my skin looks clearer, smoother, and much more balanced. The best part is that it’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any greasy feeling.It worked so well for me that I recently ordered two more bottles. For the price, the results are amazing. If you’re looking for something simple, effective, and affordable, this serum is definitely worth trying.Highly recommended
