I ordered this serum not here, but bought it at Sephora, but I don't think there is a difference because the product is the same. First of all, the serum is quite sticky, so it is necessary to cover it with cream on top, just like any other serum (I also have a cream from this brand and it is super cool). Secondly, my face was perfect in the first few days, no breakouts at all, but somewhere around day 3-5, breakouts started... I read that there is a purging period from niacinamide because it is an acid, but my breakouts still remain to this day, not too many, but they are still there (maybe it's not from niacinamide, I'm not sure, but I do know that I didn't have breakouts before using this serum). Thirdly, I have doubts about ordering this serum again, I have very mixed feelings after using it, not bad, but not good either. I would recommend getting the smaller version (30 ml) and trying it, as well as hyaluronic acid and covering it all with a cream from The Ordinary. Of course, everyone has different skin types, but I am more inclined to suggest trying this serum.
This was simply incredibly awful, honestly... Five minutes of hell, it turned red, impossible to use at all. I have sensitive skin, and I gave it to a friend who had the same experience... with a breakout it was still okay.
Can someone advise on which serum is better for cleansing blackheads: this one with niacinamide, or the one from Sane? The one from Ordinary has a higher dosage, but it also has more negative reviews.
The texture is quite comfortable, gel-like, and the scent is slightly alcoholic. I have been using it for 4 months, and I haven't noticed any changes, brightening, or sebum regulation. The only thing is that it gives a slight shine to the skin, that's it.
So far, this is one of the best serums I have ever purchased. I have normal skin type that is prone to breakouts. It was a perfect match for me. In a short period of time, small pimples disappeared. My skin looks smooth and radiant. It moisturizes wonderfully and lasts a long time.
This is my first serum with niacinamide. I bought it because I had small pimples from my neck to my cheeks. I have been using it for a month and the pimples have disappeared (which was very unexpected, I didn't really count on it), my pores have become smaller, and my skin looks tighter. Ladies, it works, just like acids - for 3-5 days pimples that were not there before appear, all the underlying junk comes out, then everything goes away and the skin is clean. I bought it together with the moisturizing gel cream from the same brand.
This is my first time ordering any kind of serum, and I got really lucky with this one! I've been using it for five days and I can already see results. My hair started growing faster (I was expecting it to grow faster, but to see a difference after just five days is incredible!). However, the issue of hair loss is a painful one. When I wash my hair, a lot of it falls out, to the point where it becomes scary. But after using this serum, my hair hardly falls out, maybe just a couple of strands, and that's it. I highly recommend it!
I have not used it yet, so I cannot say anything about the product. The packaging was intact, but the bottle itself opened very easily (giving the impression that it had already been opened before). The silicone thingy is yellow, and there is something unclear on the bottle itself (it looks like a stain from super glue).
I didn't buy it here. I really liked this serum. My skin became perfect, my pores tightened, my breakouts reduced, and my skin started to glow. The only thing I didn't like is that it leaves a slight stickiness on the face, so I only used it at night. I am very satisfied with the results.
I ordered it from somewhere else, but I still want to leave a review. The serum is effective; after a week of use, it has lightened post-acne marks and visually minimized pores. My skin feels elastic and healthy, and most importantly, it is less oily (I have oily skin type). For me, it is a great find.
The fuel consumption is quite economical, it lasted for 3.5 months, but I didn't see any results from the serum. It has a specific odor.
After using this product, I noticed the appearance of closed comedones which started to become inflamed. It also leaves a sticky feeling on the face.
I bought this product elsewhere, thinking it was not bad, but it rolls down way too easily.
I did not buy it here, but I did not like the product. First, I was concerned about its stickiness. After using this serum, my skin started to become horribly oily, even though I never had this problem before. I also got pimples. I went back to Sane's niacinamide and my skin returned to normal again.
I really liked this product as it doesn't leave any residue after use.
I didn't buy it here, but I want to share my impressions. At first, I was skeptical, thinking it was just marketing and good product advertising. But ladies, I have periodic breakouts, and I can't even imagine how much money I've spent on skincare products. And these breakouts only occur on my cheeks, and they take a long time to heal. Closed comedones appear and pores enlarge on both my nose and cheeks. Sometimes, painful deep breakouts appear. After all of this, there are spots on my face that last for months. Recently, I had another breakout, and I used Bielenda toner with salicylic acid and niacinamide. Sometimes I alternated with niacinamide in the morning and a serum with vitamin C, Q+A, in the evening. But the main effect I got was from the niacinamide. The difference in the photos is within 3 days. However, it did dry out my skin a bit for some reason.
I didn't buy it here, but what I want to say is that, based on the reviews, in order to achieve the "wow" effect you expect, you need to use a combination of products and stop eating chips and other snacks that can cause breakouts (in other words, remove unhealthy food from your diet partially or completely). In the morning, I use The Ordinary - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and The Ordinary - Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution. In the evening, I use The Ordinary - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and The Ordinary - 100% Plant-Derived Squalane. Also, let's not forget that before applying these products, it is important to thoroughly cleanse your skin, and simply washing your face with water is not enough. There are three steps to cleansing: hydrophilic oil, foam or gel cleanser, and toner. Only after that, you can safely apply the serums. And after using acidic serums or any other acid-based skincare, it is necessary to apply an SPF cream. I want to tell you that the results are truly impressive. The skin has become firm and radiant, the breakouts have disappeared, and if they do appear, it's only a few during PMS. The skin tone has become even, and it looks healthy. I even stopped using foundation, only occasionally using BB cream when needed. So, I highly recommend it. And most importantly, when introducing acids into your daily skincare routine, the skin may initially react with more breakouts as it goes through a cleansing process. BUT it's better to consult with a dermatologist and find a skincare routine that is suitable for you.
I bought it abroad, not here. It is a good serum that effectively dries out breakouts and overall improves the appearance of the skin. I used it for a while and now I can't use any makeup... Even the lightest shade of foundation oxidizes and I end up looking like an orange... Can you please advise me if there is any way to fix this?
I didn't buy this product here, but I ordered it from the official representative. Unfortunately, this product did not work for me at all with my skin. I have oily skin with breakouts. I used it every morning as part of my routine and almost finished the entire jar, but it had no effect whatsoever.
(I didn't buy it here)
I found this serum to be very suitable for me. It doesn't create a wow effect, so you don't wake up in the morning with glowing skin, but after some time, you notice that breakouts and pimples have significantly reduced, and overall, the skin is more even.
The downside is that it runs out quickly.
I have oily and problematic skin at the age of 25+. This serum worked well for me as it didn't cause any new breakouts and effectively healed the existing ones. It also reduced sebum production and improved the overall complexion.
My skin has never been prone to breakouts, only occasionally a few pimples would appear, but with this serum, they disappear much faster. In addition, with regular use, my skin produces much less oil and feels pleasant to the touch. I also use a blood peeling method, which has lightened my black spots.
My pores have cleared up and my pimples are fading faster. I use it at night under my moisturizer. I can see the effects. I have combination skin with mild acne on my cheeks and chin.
I didn't buy it here because they never have the product in stock. Anyway, ladies, I have post-acne and a few closed comedones on my cheeks. I bought this serum to lighten the post-acne and somehow extract the closed comedones on my cheeks. I looked at reviews everywhere, and they were very strange. It helps some people and not others. Personally, I really like the serum. I've been using it for 2 weeks now. It stung a little the first 3 days, probably because my skin was trying the serum for the first time. In conclusion, the skin tone really evens out, the marks from the pimples become less noticeable, and thank goodness, no more closed comedones appear, and the oily shine on my face is gone. I only have a couple of pimples now, but for me, after having papulopustular acne, it's nothing, especially since niacinamide is supposed to extract them. I apply it at night after toner for 15 minutes, then moisturizer and go to bed. My opinion is this: don't read the reviews and don't expect that you will have the same results. Everyone's skin is different and reacts differently. Be prepared that it may not work for you or vice versa.
Cursed be the day when I bought this item. I had been struggling with acne for almost a year, using systemic retinoids to treat it. Everything had improved and my skin was doing well for a few months, until I decided it would be a good idea to shrink my pores and even out my complexion. That's why I purchased this product. And after that, hell broke loose... I started breaking out with pimples... I tried to keep using it, as I read that such a reaction might occur in the beginning, but after 2 months, things only got worse, not better. I stopped using it, but the pimples didn't go away... I had to go back to the doctor and try medication to treat it.
Maybe it's just my skin, but I definitely do not recommend it. Be careful before using it.
Girls, this is pointless! Don't waste your money! The Belendo serums are much more effective and better!
I ordered a second bottle, but to be honest, I don't notice any significant changes in my skin. Yes, it's less prone to breakouts, but I'm not sure if it's solely because of this product.
I used half a bottle of this product. There were absolutely no changes on my skin, no claimed or unclaimed effects. I used it with toner, on clean skin, under moisturizer, without moisturizer, only during the day, twice a day, and every other day, alternating with hyaluronic acid.
The serum did not remove any skin imperfections, nor did it add any new ones (as some claim). It did not cause any breakouts, reduce pores, or make my skin smoother or brighter.
My skin is sensitive and combination (used to be oily, now closer to normal with dryness on the cheeks), but the pores still appear large. I thought this product would help minimize them, but nothing happens. There are also some slightly noticeable post-acne marks that the serum has no effect on either.
Maybe there is a special method of application that makes it work? Because in the comments, people say that the serum somehow works for everyone except me.
This is a great serum that helps reduce breakouts.
The serum is wonderful, simply amazing. I have very oily skin. I previously tried the 7% niacinamide serum from Sane but didn't notice any effects. Although the concentration here is not much higher than Sane's, this ordinary serum has proven itself very well. I apply it in the evening and in the morning my face is dry, without sebum.
The serum itself is quite thick, if you apply too much, it can feel heavy and clump on the face. But if you do everything correctly, this won't happen. I didn't notice a significant reduction in pore size, but it definitely tackled the oiliness completely.
This serum is amazing; my face cleared up in just one week.
This product is truly magical, as any pimple disappears the next day! I have a bad habit of picking at my face, but with this magical product, there is no evidence of any squeezing the next day. I apply it to the spots where I have picked (sorry for the details) and also to any painful pimples that cannot be squeezed. It simply gets rid of them!
I have been using this product for 6 months, and I must say that it does absolutely nothing. My skin remains the same as it was before using the serum. The product is sticky and easily rolls off when applying cream on top of it. It is impossible to apply any cream on it. I do not recommend it.
10/10 Excellent serum
This serum is truly amazing. It has completely transformed my skin and I couldn't be happier with the results. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I can already see a noticeable difference in the texture and appearance of my skin.
The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. It doesn't leave any greasy residue or clog my pores, which is a huge plus for me. I also love that it doesn't have a strong fragrance, as I prefer my skincare products to be fragrance-free.
After using this serum consistently, my skin feels smoother and looks more radiant. It has helped to even out my skin tone and diminish the appearance of dark spots and blemishes. I have also noticed a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
I appreciate that this serum is packed with beneficial ingredients that nourish and replenish my skin. It contains antioxidants and vitamins that help to protect against environmental damage and promote a youthful complexion.
Overall, I highly recommend this serum. It has exceeded my expectations and I will definitely continue to incorporate it
The serum is simply wonderful as a makeup base and has incredible sebum-regulating abilities. It did not even out the skin texture and did not make small pimples disappear. However, it was not bad for inflamed pimples, as I applied it directly and the effect was real.
Rating: 9 out of 10, with one caveat. This product works wonders, but it is necessary to use it in conjunction with acids and peels. Personally, I use it with the Ordinary's Mandelic Acid and the results are simply amazing. My face has cleared up from breakouts, my skin tone has become more even, and the oiliness has reduced.
While looking for cosmetics to fight imperfections, I came across this serum. After prolonged use, the complexion calms down, imperfections appear less, and appearing disappear faster. You have to be careful not to overdry the skin, because the serum dries out a lot. The skin feels tight after use. The serum comes in a convenient package with a pipette. The product is quite thick, but it spreads easily.
ADVANTAGES: - reduces imperfections
- a convenient bottle with a pipette
Unfortunately, this product was simply not suitable for me. I had just cleared my face from breakouts, but this serum ruined everything. Now, three spots proudly display themselves on half of my face.
Not bad, but I won't repeat it for now. Don't expect any special effects.
The serum is amazing! It helps dry out and brighten post-acne marks.
This serum is excellent. I have been using it for about 2-3 weeks. It effectively lightens post-acne marks and reduces inflammation. I apply it at night and in the morning, and my skin becomes as soft as a baby's.
This product is really helpful for mild acne. It is truly indispensable for me! It's a pity that it has been out of stock for a while now, so I have to order it from other stores.
I have combination normal skin and I use all the steps in my skincare routine: cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sun protection. I believe it's important to emphasize this because no single product will work without a comprehensive approach. Before incorporating this serum into my routine, my pores would quickly clog, and I would regularly experience inflammation in the T-zone, and I couldn't figure out why. Now, I have been using this serum for a year and it has been the best year for my skin! It's worth noting that the serum works perfectly when paired with peels and on well-cleansed skin. No cosmetic product can remove blackheads on its own, but after a good cleansing and regular use of the serum, my skin stays clean and well-maintained for a much longer time. Inflammation has disappeared, my skin tone has evened out, and my pores have shrunk. If a pimple pops up due to hormonal changes, it quickly dries out and the mark fades. Now, I can't imagine my skincare routine without this serum. Hopefully, this review will be helpful to someone! (I didn't purchase it here.)
I really loved the serum and I will definitely repurchase it. According to the cosmetologist, the real effects will be visible after 2 months of regular use, but I already noticed a significant difference after about three weeks. Strangely enough, I experienced breakouts in the first week, just like many other girls mentioned in their reviews. However, I took a risk and continued using it, and I'm so glad I did. The serum delivers on all the properties claimed by the manufacturer!
This product does nothing. It doesn't remove skin oiliness, nor lighten acne spots. When applied on the face, it lathers like liquid soap and feels sticky. I'm giving it a rating of 2 only because it didn't cause any allergies or irritations, but it's a waste of money.
I'm not sure about the effect yet, but the jar arrived not completely full. Maybe it's supposed to be like that, but it made me suspicious.
I am writing a review for those who understand how to use a zinc serum and why it is needed. The serum is amazing! It effectively dries out inflammation and prevents new ones from appearing. It is important to understand that a moisturizing cream should be applied after it, otherwise, the skin may feel tight and dry, but this is normal! Definitely recommended for oily and problematic skin. Oh, and the niacinamide in the formula provides perfect additional hydration before applying a lightweight cream.
She is cool, but after using her, I started experiencing even more skin irritations.
I didn't buy it here, but I would like to leave a review. This serum is my discovery. My skin became 100 times better in just 2-3 weeks. The product effectively deals with redness, inflammation, and prevents their appearance. I applied it every evening. You only need a couple of drops, no more (otherwise it will create a sticky layer). I used it for 4 months. I definitely recommend it!
The serum did not work for me.
The skin in the morning feels as soft as a baby's!
This product is really unpleasant to use, but it seems to be effective. It helped me get rid of pimples on my cheeks for a short period of time. Applying BB, CC, or any foundation on top of this serum is very difficult as it tends to roll off. Even after discontinuing its use, it still occasionally causes breakouts on my face. I probably won't purchase it again.
I really liked the serum, it truly mattifies the skin and dries out pimples. It absorbs quickly. And what I also like is that there is practically no scent at all. A special thanks to Makeup for your work! You are the best as always!
It works! It dries and reduces inflammation.
I have been using this product for several months, every morning. My skin doesn't get as oily, and the cream itself is not enough. Whether it's because of the SPF or the combination of everything, my skin looks like it has a good tone, and I can finally stop covering up my post-acne. When I started using it, I had a few breakouts, but I heard that it's a sign that the product is working. I highly recommend it.
The main problem with my skin is post-acne, oily T-zone, blackheads on the nose and chin, occasional comedones, and a sensitive area on the cheeks (closer to the neck). After two months of daily use, I noticed a reduction in sebum and slight lightening in problem areas.
Will I buy it again? It's hard to say for now, but I was expecting more effective results from it.
I absolutely love this serum and how effectively it works on my oily, problematic skin. I apply it in the morning and at night, and as a result, my skin is clear of breakouts and red inflammations, and my pores are minimized. I used to use Efeclar Duo+ before, but now this serum is my favorite. Thank you, Makeup, for expanding the range of brands and for the high-quality, fast delivery ❤️
I have been using this product for 7 months now. However, I have not seen any noticeable results, and it does not lighten the marks from post-acne. The only positive aspect is that it mattifies the skin and is economical (30ml lasts for 7-8 months when used twice a day).
The most effective product for my problematic combination skin. Immediately after application, the skin turns red, but by morning - magic! In just a few nights, you can bring the skin on the cheeks back to order after any breakouts. However, it severely dries out the skin on the neck, so I only apply it to the cheeks (where the skin is not oily, but normal).
The serum is amazing. I have quite problematic combination skin. This winter, I started using The Ordinary products. Currently, this serum is very effective and great. I have their glycolic acid toner, but you cannot apply any acid under this serum. Niacinamide does not like acidity. It is necessary to moisturize the serum with a cream for it to work. So, I add a few drops of their rosehip oil to my simple cream. My skin is very fair, but I always have some redness, acne, and uneven tone on my face, besides the actual pimples. Therefore, this serum and their oil are a lifesaver for me. This serum really evens out the skin tone, works on post-acne, and of course, on the pimples themselves. I haven't noticed any changes in my pores. But this serum should only be applied at night. I don't understand people who try to apply it under makeup. It doesn't even moisturize, but rather tightens the skin a bit. And it's a bit sticky on the face. But for me, this product is purely medicinal. So, these nuances are not critical for me. In short, give it a try. Many people write that they notice the results when it's almost finished. However, I didn't buy it here. There are several Ukrainian websites that are official representatives of The Ordinary. I bought it for 200 UAH.
