Affordable, Amazing facial care must have (for me)
This toner has worked miracles for my skin texture. I have suffered from acne for a long time and have struggled to find the right combination of products to help my skin and not make it worse. This toner, in combination with the same brand of moisturizer, has helped IMMENSELY. The redness of my skin and the size of my pores have gone down. I noticed a big difference within around a week. I know everyone’s skin is different, and believe me, I know that products that work for one person will not always work for another. However, for me personally, this product with the moisturizer has done its job, and I am a repeat buyer and will continue to be.The product is pretty much scentless, feels good on my face , and takes a very small amount to cover my whole face. Another bonus factor is the included dropper- this makes the application of the product VERY easy, and I feel like I waste a lot less product.The only ‘negative’ was that when I initially used this product alone my skin was a bit dried out, BUT I just added the same brand’s moisturizer and my skin feels almost flawless. I DO still have some acne but the amount is way less, and nothing else has come close to helping as much as this has.Last thing I’ll say is if you’re considering it and are unsure, just do it ! You literally cannot beat the price (I know I have tried COUNTLESS products way more expensive than this) and if your skin dries out a bit this company makes great moisturizer that does not seem to clog my pores- try it !

Great price and quality
I’ve been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for a while now, and it has honestly become a must-have for my daily routine. What I love most is how it keeps my skin’s oil in check-I’ve noticed my forehead is less shiny, giving me more of a healthy glow rather than an oily mess. It’s been incredible for smoothing out my skin texture and making my pores look a lot more refined. Since I started applying it twice a day, my skin feels so much more radiant and hydrated. Another huge benefit is how it helps with the occasional breakout; if I feel a pimple coming on, I use this as a spot treatment at night, and it usually starts shrinking much faster than if I did nothing at all. Plus, at around $6.00, it is easily the most affordable and effective way I’ve found to keep my complexion looking clear and consistent.

Used it for years… has it been worth it??
Affordable and effective!I’ve relied on this product for years (I’m talking 5+), and it lasts about a month with twice-daily use. While it does cause a bit of redness around my nose and face, it delivers that coveted glass skin look and actively helps reduce acne, scarring, and even out overall skin tone. I start my day by applying it right after washing my face, then seal it with CeraVe moisturizer that leaves my skin soft and smooth.A word of caution: avoid applying it daily around the delicate eye area, as it can cause some peeling. Want to prevent this? Just layer a hydrating toner (I’m From Rice Toner is fabulous) before applying your serum and moisturizer. This hydration sandwich creates a barrier that works wonders, helping eliminate peeling around your eyes. I only do this at night.The redness from the serum can be covered with makeup if you’d like, but if you’re a no-makeup girl, I recommend using it only at night for the best results.

Amazing Product with Visible Results
I wanted to wait before writing a review so I could really see how this product performs over time — and I’m honestly blown away. The Ordinary Niacinamide + Zinc Smoothing Serum noticeably improves my skin texture and reduces acne almost overnight.When I use it consistently, my skin stays clear and smooth. When I stopped, I immediately started breaking out again. I used it last night and by morning my acne was basically gone. That’s how fast and effective it is for me.It absorbs well, layers nicely, and actually does what it claims. This is truly a miracle product and I’m keeping it in my skincare arsenal forever. If you struggle with texture or breakouts, this one is absolutely worth trying.

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a popular skincare serum that targets blemishes, uneven texture, excess oil, and enlarged pores. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps regulate sebum production, improve clarity, and refine the look of skin texture, while zinc supports a calmer, balanced complexion.This formula has a lightweight, water-based texture that absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or heavy. It layers well under moisturizers and sunscreen, making it easy to include in both morning and evening routines. Many users notice reduced shine and smoother skin appearance after consistent use over several weeks.It’s especially suited for oily or combination skin, though those with dryness can also benefit if they pair it with a good moisturizer. Because it’s a concentrated active, it’s best introduced gradually—especially if you’re new to niacinamide—to avoid potential sensitivity.Pros:✔ Helps control oil and minimize the appearance of pores✔ Lightweight, fast-absorbing formula✔ Works well under other skincare products✔ Great value for a high concentration serumCons:✖ Results take a few weeks to build✖ May be slightly irritating for very sensitive skin✖ Not a direct acne treatment (best combined with other actives)Overall: A versatile and effective everyday serum that supports smoother texture and more balanced skin, especially for oilier complexions.

2週間ほど夜のみ使用していますが、毛穴が引き締まった気がします。濃度が高いため他の美容液との併用を避けています。（夜はこちら、朝はビタミンC）混合肌なので、指に2滴取ってTゾーンを中心に馴染ませていますが、粘度が高くて少量でもかなり伸びが良いので数あるナイアシンアミド美容液の中でもコスパ最強だと思います。使用初日は指に余ったものを頬に伸ばしたら部分的に少しピリつきを感じましたが、2日目からは大丈夫でした。乾燥する感じもありません。ただ皆さんがレビューしているように、擦るとモロモロめっちゃ出ます。あまり擦らないように薄く伸ばす程度に塗れば問題なし。クリーム・オイルインタイプの油分が入ったミスト化粧水が好きでよく使うのですが、ナイアシンアミドは親水性なのでミスト化粧水を使う時は洗顔後すぐにこちらを塗っています。まだ2週間なのでざらつき改善やトーンアップ効果は感じていませんが、コスパも良いので続けてみる価値はあるかなと思います。

Very good for oily acne prone skin
Emma Georgina Valles Santillán –
Llevo 2 meses usando el producto y mi rostro se ve y siente mucho mejor. Tengo piel de mixta a grasa, por lo que se me resecaba mucho en la frente, costados de la nariz y barbilla. También tenía muchas marcas de acné.Usando esta niacinamida el problema de resequedad mejoró y desapareció; mi piel se ve tersa e iluminada. Las marcas de acné las fue desvaneciendo en unas 3 a 4 semanas de uso.Yo seguí las instrucciones al pie de la letra, y mis rutina de piel de la mañana y noche ya solo tienen 3 productos (este y un suero hidratante en la noche, y protector solar en la mañana)A mí me funcionó usar 4 gotas en el rostro y 4 en el cuello, poniendo primero 2 y luego las otras 2, dejando absorber entre aplicaciones. También me enfoqué en las marcas de acnéEl bote dura exactamente un mes aplicando de esta forma. No tiene olor ni deja alguna textura o sensación grasosa.
