The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results... just like the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (30ml), a potent serum targeting breakouts, minimising the look of pores and decongesting confused complexions by reducing the look of oiliness.
Harnessing the (anything but ordinary) power of niacinamide and zinc, the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (30ml) is ideal for keeping your complexion as clear as a bright and sunny day.
Featuring high concentrations of two of the most efficacious blemish-battling ingredients out there (niacinamide and zinc), this staple swiftly soothes the look of skin and improves its overall appearance, as well as reducing blemish-causing bacteria. How? Niacinamide helps to maintain a stronger-looking skin barrier and improves moisture retention, while a powerful shot of antioxidant zinc PCA works to reduce the look of redness and balance oil levels.
Aqua (Water), Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Zinc PCA, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, Xanthan gum, Isoceteth-20, Ethoxydiglycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.

Still trying to decide
After hearing so many amazing things about this product, I thought I'd give it a go. I have such mixed feelings! As somedays, I notice a slight difference and notice a reduction in pores, and other days not so much as it will really irritate my skin. Still trying to work out if it's for me!

Oil controller
I originally bought this during lockdown because my oily skin was getting out of hand. Within 2 days of usage I saw a massive reduction of oiliness. Over the course of a couple of months I've used this, a lot of my marks and pigmentation have either disappeared or dramatically reduced in size/colour. Such an effective product for such a good price!

I like it but ...
When I used it first it was ok I saw modest results with oiliness but when I introduced acids into my skin [the ordinary glycolic acid toner & their other peeling acid. NOT simultaneously of course!!] my skin was very irritated so I had so stop everything & I only used their hyaluronic acid & natural moisturizing factor + HA PS. I used bioderma aquafluid spf 50 [very important to wear sunscreen when using acids]

Life-changer
I love this stuff! It has made such a huge difference to my oily-combination break out prone skin. I'm always worried about trying new products but I was completely fed up with the way my face was behaving so thought it must be worth a shot, especially given that it's so cheap! Best thing I could've done for my skin. It honestly made a huge difference within a couple of days. I've noticed that it doesn't mix well with every SPF, but as my skin has got better I've started using it in the PM only anyway. No-brainer, just try this if you're struggling with breakouts/oily skin! :)

Breaks me out
Breaks me out like crazy. I used it religiously believing the hype. Did nothing for me except making my acne worse. I have dry and sensitive skin. Maybe it was the combination I do. I use the cleanser (amazing) then the toner then this serum and the azelaic acid cream after. (Everything from the ordinary)

Not for me
I bought this because of the great reviews on various sites, unfortunately, this did not work for me, it caused cystic spots that I do not usually get, my skin was bumpy instead of its usual smoothness, and it darkened my skin and made it look dull. I bought this to speed up the fading of a few dark marks left from hormonal spots on my jaw, maybe I should have just put it on those few spots instead of all over my face, I used nearly a whole bottle thinking it was just purging but since my skin was reacting badly I thought it best to stop using it so ended up throwing 3 new bottles in the bin. Good news is within a day of stopping my smooth bright skin returned, and no new zits in sight. I am medium brown-skinned so maybe it just did not work for my skin type but it may work for you.

Skincare staple!
Have not been without a bottle for the past three years (always have a backup ready)! Totally worth the purchase if you have oily/blemish-prone skin. Does not peel when you add moisturiser and makeup after - as with any other product, you just have to give it a few minutes to absorb into your skin before layering then you’re good to go!

Love it
I suffer with what I think is fungal acne or comedonal acne and when I buy new products for my skin one of my biggest fears is that it aggravates the bumps and makes them more stubborn. I checked the ingredients of this product on a website called "Sezia" and it contains 0 ingredients that promote the growth of the fungus on my skin. I've been using this product every morning and night for 2 weeks and I definitely notice a change in the appearance of my skin. It has evened out my skin tone and make it look a lot less dull and most importantly my skin is getting more smooth:)

Its amazing but...
I got this product as recommended by Skincare by Hyram. It felt nice and soothing when I applied it to my face. The one thing I don't like about this product is how sticky it is once applied to the face. I love the product but its just a bit sticky for me.

Amazing! Absolutely worth it
Since lockdown started, my skin started breaking out terribly, which never really happened to me. My seld-esteem was going down, and frankly I didn't want to look at myself in the mirror at all. It might be a tad bit dramatic but that's how I felt. However, since I started using this solution, my skin had recovered in a week! I was very pleased with this product, and I recommend to everyone!! My skin is still clear :)
