didn’t help brighten my acne scars

used for one week, no visible result yet

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.

Observable oil control with continued use!

repeated purchase, good and affordable serum

I have been using this product for quite sometime. It helps to balance my skin & reduce oiliness.

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.

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.

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

Highly recommend this product. My skin was visibly clearer and brighter in just 2-3 days of using it.

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

Place a drop on whiteheads/pimple areas every night for quick resolution of acne in a week.

This is a repurchase as I have noticed that it helped with cleaning my pores and reducing blemishes. Highly recommend!

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.

Skin has improved after using this!

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.

Good to treat acne spot :)

holy grail for acne scars

I don't see much difference

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.

doenst burn

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!

fantastic

It helps to reduce the oil on my face! Very effective

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.
