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.

Like the product, not the smell
I've been using this serum for a few weeks and my skin (oily and sensitive) seems to like it. The smell is awful though. It smells like jagermeister to me and I had too many jagerbombs in my 20s to want to experience that smell in my 30s.
Very good serum for dry sensitive skin
Ive been uaing this for a few months now. I use it as my third serum on my non- strong product nights either on its own or mixed with squalane. Just one or two drops is enough. Seems to soothe the dry red patches on my chin. I use very strong products every other night as im over 40 so this is a great way to restrengthen my skin barrier so i can keep using the other strong products. I had to test this product for one week. One drop on the inside of my elbow twice a day for at least 5 days and then wait another 2 days for a reaction. If your good then start using on your jawline for a few days. My skin is not so sensitive but i use strong priducts and sometimes they dont work well together. I recommend you do this as well with every product.
Experienced rash like breakout
I was excited to have a serum for barrier repair. However, I had a similar issue as others who experienced a breakout within 1 day of using the serum. Disappointing. I haven't had this type of experience with other The Ordinary products though.
Stings and smells strange
I started using this product that is supposed to be soothing and it stings my skin. It also smells like lumber very strongly
I buy this regularly
really soothing for my redness
