- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2025Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI've been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum for a few months now, and I am thrilled with the results. This serum has truly transformed my skin, addressed uneven texture and enhanced its radiance. One of the most noticeable improvements has been the evening out of my skin texture. I used to struggle with rough patches and uneven areas, but this serum has smoothed everything out beautifully. My skin feels much softer and more refined. Additionally, the serum has significantly brightened my complexion. My skin looks more radiant and healthier, with a natural glow that I hadn't seen in years. The combination of niacinamide and zinc has worked wonders in reducing redness and blemishes, giving me a clearer and more even skin tone. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum has become a staple in my skincare routine. It's affordable, effective, and has delivered visible results. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin texture and achieve a radiant complexion.

Reduce la grasa y mejora la textura de la piel. Se absorbe rápido y ayuda a controlar brotes. ¡Un básico en mi rutina!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseWorks very well and it contains a lot which means it will last a long time.
I have been using it for over a week, about twice a day and have only used about 5% or so of the product meaning it should last months before running out.
I recommend to moisturize a few minutes after using product or your skin may dry out a bit.
Overall it is very easy to apply and has a very good price. I have noticed it is able to control acne a bit but have yet to notice significant improvement after using product for over a week.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2025Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis is my second time ordering this product, and it has done wonders for my skin. But this is something that you should probably use only a few times a week at night if you have sensitive skin. It also leaves a little bit of a sticky residue if you put on a lot because it is kind of thick, so use in moderation. It doesn’t leave my skin too oily, which is rare to find in a product. Overall it is effective in soothing and clearing my skin.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2025Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseSeriously, has made my skin look a lot more airbrushed. That’s exactly what I had hoped this product would do and it did just that. My skin so has blemishes, but that’s just because I am still figuring out all the other aspects of my skin care, but this product has seriously cleared it up and made it a lot more manageable for my other products to help. My skin overall just feels healthier as well.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2025Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI haven’t used this since 2024 I decided to buy it again because I have noticed that my pores have been huge lately. tbh, I love this for my skin because of the glow, how it reduces my pore size & helps with my hyperpigmentation. I do recommend 🥰.

5.0 out of 5 stars 肌のツヤが上がりました
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchaseナイアシンアミドというのがなんとなく気になり、
その中でも安いほうだったのでなんとなく購入
これが大当たりで驚きました
肌がモチっとというか、ツヤがいい人になりました

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for oily/dry skin.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseLovely first day of use and my oily/dry skin feels soft and my acne became less inflamed The smell is meh it doesn’t really have a smell which is good It will be absorbed pretty fast which explains the texture of the serum I got it because it isn’t oily and is good for acne and pigmentation I suggest it for non sensitive skin but do a test put it on ur hand and wait to see for any reactions if nothing then ur good to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars A trustworthy skincare staple
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI enjoy using this serum in my basic routine. It doesn't irritate my damaged skin at all, but does dry quickly, so spreading it can be a bit difficult. The dryness can cause itchiness, but that's what your moisturizer is for.
- Aya_ARReviewed in Egypt on April 7, 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Use regularly for seeable results
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseIf used regularly, it gives great results. Just make sure it's original when you buy it. What worked best for me was using a cleanser first preferably one with vitamin C to wash my face. After it dries, I apply the product, leave it for 15 minutes, then follow up with a fragrance-free moisturizer cream because the serum itself has little fragrance, to avoiding irritating sensitive skin.
