    5.0 out of 5 stars WOW - the “magic’ product for normal-oily skin
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2025
    My only qualm is that I wish I found this brand sooner. Everything you want from the science elements of skincare and nothing you don’t. (Other than this brand I stick to 100% natural homemade skincare like: aloe vera gel, mango butter, caster oil, castile soap, apple cider vinegar, etc and this fills in the gaps)

    *I noticed a CONSIDERABLE difference after my second use. After maybe 4 days, I’m shocked. It’s like my blemishes and discoloration disappeared. My skin tone is more smooth and bright. I’ve never been exactly acne prone, but my skin has felt dull, with black heads and white heads kinda being the baseline normal for me for four years. I almost can’t stop looking in the mirror. THANK YOU THE ORDINARY.

    Definitely buying a bunch of other products from them. And the PRICE is so refreshing. I absolutely cringe that I drank the kool-aid and used to spend $50 on a 1.5 ounce moisturizer that was full of chemicals. *shudders* no more.

    I recall trying out this item a couple of years back when it gained sudden popularity on TikTok. It significantly improved the hydration and softness of my skin. Although I discontinued using it, my sister's positive experience prompted me to give it another shot. Upon application, it quickly revitalized my skin within a few days. The Ordinary's niacinamide is truly a gem for facial care. If you're feeling unsure, give it a go. You won't be disappointed.

    I got almost very similar serums from polish choice, but it was like $30 so this is a really really good cheaper option and I really like the zinc in it. It gives you that smooth barrier protector for your skin whenever you go outside I will definitely be buying again.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025
    It's a good product, what I bought on several occasions, at first it irritated my face a little, but after a few days the texture of my skin improved a lot, I highly recommend it

    The Ordinary Niacinamide is amazing! It’s super hydrating and doesn’t have a strong scent, which I love. It’s a staple in my skincare routine. The clear formula is really cool, and it’s not sticky at all, making it so easy to apply. Definitely worth trying if you’re looking for a simple, effective product!

    I started using this product two weeks ago and I absolutely love it so far! It was recommended by my aesthetician for my large pores and I can say I see the difference only two weeks in! I use it under my heavier creams, and it makes their application much smoother as well!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good for My Skin Type, but Not Ideal for Makeup
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2025
    I purchased this serum because it contains ingredients that suit my skin type, and so far, I’m satisfied. However, the texture tends to pill on the skin, which makes it unsuitable for wearing under makeup.
