The Ordinary Balancing & Clarifying Serum for Blemish Prone Skin is a multi-active solution designed to reduce skin congestion, minimize excess shine and improve pore appearance for clearer-looking skin.
Benefits
- Minimises excess shine in 1 week
- Balances oily skin in 1 week*
- Improves uneven skin texture for smoother-looking skin in 1 week*
- Reduces visible post-acne marks
Key Ingredients
- Sarcosine and L-Carnitine: Naturally occurring molecules that reduce the appearance of oiliness and shine.
- Polylysine: A patented molecule that also reduces the appearance of oiliness and shine. It has a unique three-dimensional branched structure that is composed of 48 naturally-derived lysine amino acids.
- N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG): An amino sugar that offers similar exfoliation properties to direct acids. Through this exfoliation, it helps target signs of congestion, while also targeting the look of uneven skin tone.
- Ectoin: Protects the skin barrier against water loss and helps maintain skin hydration. The ingredient ectoin is an amino acid derivative produced via fermentation from ectoine - a naturally occurring molecule found in a wide range of bacteria that live in extreme conditions.
- Lactococcus Ferment Lysate: Works to help support the skin barrier. It is a mixture of fragmented molecules derived from the breakdown of the bacteria lactococcus lactis.
Shake well before use. Apply a few drops to the face in the morning and evening.

It's not the best serum I've used.
I received The Ordinary Balancing and Clarifying Serum free in return for my honest review. I was excited to see if this serum could help manage my oily skin and minimize pores. Starting with its effectiveness, I found the results to be mixed. It does a decent job of reducing excess shine and keep...

Great product
All their products are great, this makes my skin look flawless.
Works good for Menopause acne
I am 48 and get a bit of hormonal acne as I stumble through perimenopause. This has kept the acne in check for the past 6 months. I use it every morning, in the warmer months, when my skin is oily, I use it twice a day.
It works
I use this every night and my skin looks even better than it was in High School! I'm close to 40 and still get breakouts every now and then, but this has made my skin loon and feel amazing.
Mixed feelings
I'm not sure if this product causes a purge, but I noticed it sugnificantly worsened my breakouts. I tried it for almost a month with no luck. However, I know friends who have had great luck with this product.
Made My Break Outs Worse
When I first applied it made my skin tingle, and itch very slightly but I still went with the flow and kept it on. As the hours went on I checked on my face and I saw more bumps on my face than were already there. I had them in places that I never get them, so I know that this product is the cause. I wouldn't recommend it.
