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.

I went into an Ulta store a few months ago and long story short, I was over using products. One of the consultants told me to use this every night for about 7 days. That was Friday, My acne outbreaks cleared by the following Thursday. Cut back on the products but stay consistent with what works.

Took my skin months to recover from this!

Submitted 2 months ago

By Rachel

From New York

I stupidly used more than half of a bottle of this product before realizing it was the source of what look like acne on my chin. Red, bumpy, so dry it was flaking, hard to cover with makeup. Once I stopped using it, it took my skin 3-4 months to heal to where I no longer had the large, flaking, red acne on my chin. Horrible product for me, someone with sensitive skin no less!

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
