This serum has changed my face
This serum has changed my face and simplified my routine. I used to layer a whole lot of different serums and creams, different ingredients to do different things, but then this one came along and cleared out my cupboard. Firstly I pop on a generous dollop of The Ordinary "Niacinamide & Zinc" seru...

Disappointed
I really love this company and their products but this one was a miss for me. Not only did it not treat the redness, but it actually amplified it. When I put it on, my skin reacts to it and I turn cherry red. I really wanted to love this product.

Good stuff
Highly recommend this for dryness and peeling caused by prescription acne treatment!! Bummed to see some bad reviews on here, because I've had a great experience with this product. I have cystic acne and the topicals I use to help manage it are Winlevi (godsend) and Aklief, a .05% retinol prescription. The Aklief really dries out my skin (no surprise there) but it helps so much I didnt want to stop using it. So I searched for something to help balance the dryness and peeling I was experiencing and landed on this product from the ordinary. It makes such a difference! It says it restores the skin barrier within 2 hours of application and I really do notice it within that timeframe. Even better when I put it on at night and have some hours without makeup or other environmental issues attacking my face. I apply it right after the winlevi and aklief, and before moisturizer. Have not had any pilling. It goes on light and does not clog my pores. My only complaint is you have to make sure not to touch the sides of the bottle with the applicator because it does gum up on the outsides pretty quickly if you do. So just be careful when taking the applicator in and out of the bottle. But even that is not a complaint about the product itself, just the packaging. This is such good stuff and i hope they keep making it a long time! I'm about to switch up my moisturizer to one with spf in it and will report back on how that goes
Confidence Restored! 🌟🌟🌟
I struggled with hormonal acne for months after quitting birth control, and not a single "acne clearing" product worked. I've thankfully never really struggled with breakouts in my life, until now in my mid-twenties, but this serum has worked and is still working wonders!!!!! My acne, not to mention the redness and uncontrollable itching it brings, has improved TREMENDOUSLY and I notice a visable difference overnight whenever I use this. 10000/10 🙌💖
great for sensitive skin, and tweens
I am 12 years old , and before this serum , I had tiny pimples on my forehead, and after I used this serum, all the tiny pimples went away after just 1 use .I would say that this product is definitely worth trying out .
Not good for rosacea
I battle redness and sensitive skin and this product made it a lot worse. Terrible for rosacea in my case.
Works but not life changing
I feel like this is a good product to use before and after elemental/harsh weather days. I noticed a differnce in my skin feeling protected and nourished if I was in the wind or in the cold a lot. On just a regular day with no exposure, I dont think it's needed and would skip it. I have no complaints but probably wont buy it again.
