The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

It was a disaster. It sucked out all hydration and moisture out of my skin. When may skin gets dehydrated , it also becomes irritated. I gave it to my friend with oily skin. She loved it

at first it worked great for me. minimised look of pores, brightening, less sebum production. i finished a 30ml one and bought the 60ml. about 2-3 weeks after i started using the 60ml, i had an eczema flare up due to another product which made my skin super sensitised. this product stung me so badly so i stopped using. ive tried to reintroduce it multiple times but its still too harsh for me ☹

I have had no bad reaction but my friend reacted to this serum. She was left with a swollen face and rash. Would suggest patch testing a couple of days prior to using to see if your skin is suited to this serum.

I loveed this serum so much cz it controlled my sebum production also it's fungal acne safe. But my friend didn't like it and also my sister cz it makes your skin dry like really dryyy. And also some people are allergic to zinc too.

I just reviewed this on picky! For me i dont really have problem with it. But for people around me, it often gives them tingling redness and itchyness due to high dose of 10%. I would say that if you are super sensitive. U can try 2-5% niacinamide first and see how it goes.
