Ok IT WORKS
After about 3 weeks of incorporating this product i am seeing real results. The pores on my nose are less visible and my jawline has seriously cleared up on closed / clogged pores! Not perfect yet but skincare is only half the battle. Trick to using this product is making sure its the only niacinamide containing product in your routine & applying it only when your skin can tolerate. I use a gentle gel cleanser only (no actives) the zinc serum, then i apply the ordinary aloe and nag serum as a light moisturizer and spf if needed. I do a double cleanse and thebordinary mandelic at night (mind you their mandelic is 10% - i started at 5% then worked my way up to 8% now i can do 10%, i would NOT start with the 10%). I also use their pwder to cream sulfur spot treatment & it's literally the best sulfur product ive ever tried.

Yes!
I have the salicylic acid serum so I figured I would give the niacinamide a try since they both go hand-in-hand. The niacinamide serum is perfect to apply on after the salicylic acid since salicylic can be a little drying, while niacinamide helps bring back hydration in the skin without being too heavy. I have an extremely oily forehead due to bangs so I apply a few drops of the salicylic acid then I do a little drop of niacinamide to help balance out the oil. I also do a combination of both of those serums all over my face after cleansing and toning etc. I also struggle with what I always thought was blackheads but apparently it's something called "sebaceous filaments" or basically clogged pores on my nose. They are still present but they are lighter and I can't really feel them on my nose like I used to be able to. It's very smooth due to the salicylic acid niacinamide combo. Wallet friendly, size of the bottle is decent, not to mention it's glass instead of use useless plastic!

Beware if you are sensitive! But it's amazing!
This serum really helps with my skin! My pores have been rapidly vanishing out of sight and my skin doesn't really even get oily anymore due to this product. Quick warning, it is a strong product and for those with more sensitive skin it might be a little too strong and cause breakouts. I hate recommended it to my sister, saying that it helped me with pores and acne, but when she wore it it caused break outs due to some acne treatments she was doing at the time. I've got combination skin, and it does cause some further dryness on those parts of my face, but it is really quite easy compared to doing a face mask every other day. The packaging is also quite nice, and I was glad I could take it on my trip. I haven't been able to break it even though I dropped it. Overall, it is a wonderful product, but just know your face.

I would buy this product again.
It's a too soon for me to determine if this product will lighten my brown spots however I see a slight improvement so I am hopeful for more improvement.

Love it
I have been using this for the last year or so (along with other skin care products: retinol, matrixyl, argeriline) and I have been getting so many compliments on my skin. I dont know whether it is just this product ir combination if all others, but I am not changing my skincare routine as it is working for me

Amazing for Rosacea and Redness
I just started using niacinamide in my skincare routine, and this product did not disappoint. I love The Ordinary's straightforward, budget-friendly philosophy. I struggle with rosacea, and this serum has significantly helped soothe my skin and even out my complexion. It feels lightweight and absorbs quickly. I will definitely keep buying this!

Doesnt play well with other products
The instructions on how to use it is on the box. I follow it exactly. I use exactly 3 products on my face including this. Last layer is SPF, yet this pills every time I use it. Even solo use I get pilling 😑

Must have
Really helps with acne. Notice I get more hormonal chin acne when not using this. Also notice my acne/acne scars goes away faster when using.
