This serum has changed my face
This serum has changed my face and simplified my routine. I used to layer a whole lot of different serums and creams, different ingredients to do different things, but then this one came along and cleared out my cupboard. Firstly I pop on a generous dollop of The Ordinary "Niacinamide & Zinc" seru...

Disappointed
I really love this company and their products but this one was a miss for me. Not only did it not treat the redness, but it actually amplified it. When I put it on, my skin reacts to it and I turn cherry red. I really wanted to love this product.

Love this product. It clears your skin and helps with unwanted texture and smoothness
The only thing that works!
I burn my skin regularly with strong retinol and this is the only product that repairs my skin barrier. It is truly magic and I will never not use it

I like it but it does not like me
I had purchased this because I heard it's good for rosacea. Started having sensitivity on my nose but thought that might be my makeup (which I only wear occasionally) so I repurchased when I ran out. Halfway through the second bottle and my nose broke out in hot red bumps that made me look like Rudolph for a few days. Also got the bumps where I have some texture/acne scarring in my T zone. Seems this is just not the product for me and my sensitive, dry skin. Guess I'll just try something hydrating in the future and pay closer attention to how my skin reacts.
amazing product (acne prone skin)
i have battled with acne and hyperpigmentation due to scarring on my cheeks for 5 years now. recently i've dealt with skin like bumps that cause an insecurity. i figured with the winter time being here, my skin barrier was damaged. i was right! reached for this product and after ONE use i saw a change in texture and evenness of my skin. did not break me out or cause irriation either. 10/10 reccomend:))
Not for sensitive skin
It was hydrating but after day 2 or using it caused me to break out in little bumps
