High-Strength Vitamin and Mineral Blemish Formula
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is indicated to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. A high 10% concentration of this vitamin is supported in the formula by zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid to balance visible aspects of sebum activity.
Contraindications: If topical Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid and/or Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid) is used as part of skincare, it should be applied at alternate times with this formula (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and this formula in the AM). Otherwise, Niacinamide can affect integrity of the Vitamin C.
Notes: While Niacinamide and Zinc PCA reduce the look of blemishes and balance visible sebum activity, neither is a treatment for acne. For persistent acne-related conditions, Benzoyl Peroxide and/or Retinoic Acid is recommended. Ongoing use of BHA such as Salicylic Acid for persistent blemishes is not recommended. For temporary improvement in appearance of blemishes, Salicylic Acid would help. This formulation can be used alongside acne treatments if desired for added visible skin benefits.
Independent studies suggest Niacinamide is also an effective ingredient for brightening skin tone.
pH 5.50-6.50; Free of: alcohol, oil, silicone, nut, gluten; Vegan and cruelty -free

First time using The ordinary brand. The experience is amazing. Suitable for my acne prone skin. This prevent me for future break out. Recommended. I will purchase again.

First purchase. Always wanted to try this brand and after watching a ton of YouTube videos, I finally decided to get this. Serum absorbs easily and doesn’t leave a tacky feel.

Skin texture improved and does help to lighten skin tone, acne scars faded and my face don't look so dull anymore. Definitely will repurchase.
2019-05-15 - Ouyuan Feng
Nothing bad to say about this product but no effect even after 3 weeks. Likely will not repurchase.

I use this for spot treatment but it tends to react with other products a little weirdly (tiny balls of something when rubbed too much). *Edit: this product is notorious for pilling (tiny balls issue) and takes a bit of experimenting to figure out how much to put or which step in skin care routine to apply this, but it does reduce the occurrences of breakouts!

It does control oil without stinging your face so I feel like my skin does not look oily all the time. I only do it once a day instead of twice. I need to buy the second bottle to see if it does prevent breakouts.

I noticed a difference after a few days of using at night. The small blemishes on my forehead and chin area disappeared. As soon as i stopped using, they all started popping out again so im stocking up on this one.

This is really great in helping to brighten my skin and reduce pigmentation. You probably won't be able to see the results so soon, but after 4 to 6 weeks, my complexion really improved so much. I really love how effective this is and its so super affordable I can just use it generously everyday.

Quite moisturising and has a thin gel like consistency. It absorbs quickly and is suitable for dry skin.
2019-10-18 - Frisha
What an amazing product, it does reduce the bumps on my skin , making it look so polished and smoothen out!
2019-10-05 - Sarah Chin
Used together with some other acne products. Unsure if my skin cleared up because of this or the other products... but this definitely helped my skin to become more supple!
2019-10-04 - Lucas Wong
This product is definitely not for everyone. I know people who have had brilliant results with this but this serum broke me out like crazy on my cheeks and jawline, leaving whiteheads and blackheads everywhere. It's been two weeks since I stopped using this and I'm still trying to get rid of the acne left behind. Definitely patch test first.

Purchased another bottle, have finished two. Noticed that it helps to calm pimples, face isn't as oily as before. It also visibly faded hyperpigmentation from acne although not completely. Expected it to visibly minimise pores as mentioned on the box but it didn't do so for me. Still a great product!
2019-03-31 - Evelyn
I don't see much difference after using this product :( Results are slightly disappointing.
2019-06-16 - Yyin
Very light weight and absorbs very well into the skin. No sticky feeling. Works very well to control oil. I like it.
2019-05-15 - Koh Jia Min Amanda
This product is lovely! I love the consistency and I really feel like it makes me less oily. Not too sure if it does anything for pore size though! Still worth trying it out since it is so affordable.
2019-05-30 - Jialin
Really does helps in smoothing your skin, my face has lesser bumps now. Doesn't help in controlling sebum though. Thick serum but not tacky, absorbs pretty fast.

My friend introduced this product to me. She has an oily, blemish-prone skin for all the years I've known her for, nowadays I notice that her skin is clear and acne-free! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this! And yes, since I started using this religiously for a couple weeks, I don't get any pimples and my skin is now glowing. My T-zone doesn't get as oily at the end of the day like before. I will totally repurchase this.

Absorbs well, no strong smell (a bit medicinal if you get what i mean) or fragrance. I think it is a great supplement for skin brightening. Honestly though , ive used it only sporadically hence i cant tell is my acne marks fading was due to my combination of actives or this. Hence the three stars.

Place a drop on whiteheads/pimple areas every night for quick resolution of acne in a week.
2019-07-31 - Genevieve Teo
This is a repurchase as I have noticed that it helped with cleaning my pores and reducing blemishes. Highly recommend!
2019-06-09 - Lim Kj
i see improvement in my skin texture and fewer pimples appearing after consistent usage every night. during the first few times of usage my skin was tingling and became red as it might have been too strong but after a week it was not as irritating. on to my 3rd bottle now
2020-01-07 - Safina Aj
Great product! I’m onto my third bottle. Had a bad case of acne. Used this and salicylic acid from the same brand. Daily use helps to prevent acne.
2019-07-22 - Anuradha
This has really helped me to brighten my skin which was dull , I have been using this product for few weeks now and can see the difference.
2019-10-29 - Amellia Gan
Consistency is slightly sticky and it has a pretty weird smell but apart from these, the product does what it promises to and I notice my skin becoming clearer the next day when I use it at night. Recommended for purchase!
2019-10-14 - Jia Ming
Great product, absorbs quickly and easily into the skin. Has helped to control oil production and definitely had fewer breakouts since I started using it :)
2019-10-08 - Arifa Khan
Not noticed any effect on pores as yet or too much of a significant change . Will continue to use to check Long term effect
2019-10-07 - Zero
Buy due to great reviews but can't find much effect on my skin even though I already used it for two months.

Have been a prolonged user of niacinamide and previously used the Nacific's. Tried The Ordinary's Niacinamide serum and found that it is very drying. The packaging instruction did say to follow with a heavy cream, so this is expected. This does work well for redness and acne skin but do note it may dry your skin which is not ideal in Singapore.
2019-08-30 - Jolin Ng
Highly recommend this product. My skin was visibly clearer and brighter in just 2-3 days of using it.
2019-07-01 - Nguyen Mai Trang
Can't live without this! Already on my 3rd bottle, and the 4th bottle is on the way! Great for oil control which I really really need
2019-08-25 - Shanyl Liew
Used it for 2 months yet no improvement whatsoever to my skin condition. Did not control my acne or fade any scars. Would not purchase again.
2019-07-08 - Moon
This is already very effective on its own but coupling it with salicylic acid boosts its sebum-controlling and acne-fighting properties. It doesn't smell weird, has a thick consistency - similar to the salicylic acid and is mild so it doesn't sting or burn or cause my skin to peel. It really does what it promises - my t-zone is no longer oily thanks to this product!
2019-07-22 - Cindjo
I have been using this product for quite sometime. It helps to balance my skin & reduce oiliness.
2019-07-26 - Jaymie
I moved from canada to sg and my face hasn't been reacting well with the changes of environment. I started to get oily and congested in my T-Zone area and there were couple of times I was breaking out. I was researching so much that I stumbled upon this well critiqued product. And girl let me tell you, the rave is truly real. I can't really describe how thankful I am to discover this product. This product helped me in balancing my sebum production. Moreover, after having my facial, the aesthetician extracted my milia seeds and it left my face pretty much red and hurt because of the harsh removal of milia seeds. And I used about 3 drops of Niacinamide product on my skin every night and it helped my skin cell renewal turn over rate. The results were pretty dramatic in each night I used the niacinmaide after my facial. It was pretty much a life saver. Like honestly, if you've got oily, blackheads, large pore problem. Do the recommended routine by the ordinary salicylic acid, niacinamide and their hylaronic acid moisturizer and it really saves you for such an affordable price.
