How often do you recommend using the Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%?

I have read that it may be a little agressive when using too often (like 2X a day or everyday) or that it may cause irritation beacuse of it’s concentration. 

I started using it once every 2 days since I’m using a retinoid every 2 days too. I’ll use the serum the days I don’t use the retinoid.

Frecuency of The Ordinary’s Niacinamide Serum

My only concern with this product is that when you press the pump, a lot of product comes out, definetely more than necessary, so I usually just take the product left on my neck or my elbows.

This serum has a rather runny consistency, and once you apply it to your skin it starts to feel a tacky but then it quickly absorbs into your skin.  
Overall I like this serum, it’s really hydrating, it gives you that “boost” to your face, it also gives you a natural “glow” and your skin looks healthy. I use it at nights before my moisturizer whenever I want extra hydration or sometimes at mornings.

If you are sensitive to fragrances, maybe you won’t like this, since the lavender smell is definetely there. The smell doesn’t linger, so that’s good!

I love the consistency of this serum, it’s definitely a little thick, but it blends really nicely and gives a nice glow to my skin, and it also leaves it nice and smooth! I only use 2 drops for my whole face. 
I’ve been using it for a month and a half, and I have noticed that my skin has become smoother and radiant.
