$ N/AHigh-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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Nothing bad to say about this product but no effect even after 3 weeks. Likely will not repurchase.

I don't see much difference after using this product :( Results are slightly disappointing.

Very light weight and absorbs very well into the skin. No sticky feeling. Works very well to control oil. I like it.

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.

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!

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.
