09-07-2025I’ve been using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% serum twice a day for about a month now, and I’m seriously impressed. My skin feels so much smoother, my pores look smaller, and I’ve had fewer breakouts overall. The gel-serum texture sinks in quickly and doesn’t leave any sticky feeling, which I love.Some things that really stand out:It’s powerful but still gentle—great for managing oil, breakouts, and uneven tone without irritating my skin.It’s super affordable, and honestly, the results are just as good as some high-end serums I’ve tried.It layers really well with other products in my routine, like hydrating serums and sunscreen. Just a heads-up: if you’re using strong exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs, be mindful when combining them.Since adding this into my routine, my skin looks way more balanced and healthy. I’d definitely recommend it if you have oily or combination skin, or if you’re just trying to smooth out texture and even your tone. And definitely don’t skip the sunscreen in the morning!

09-07-2025Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have oily skin when first waking up, no matter what prep I do. But later on in the day my skin is usually normal unless it's hot outside. There's a bit of a learning curve to using this but I've learned to NOT use this when I have something to do the next couple of days. If I see a break out, which is usually my cheek area and one dot on my nose, I do my night routine then apply it to areas needed. When I wash my face my skin will start to purge and then in 2 days The acne is gone. These are my results. I also don't put on makeup the next day after using.

09-07-2025This product give instant results but I think a lower percentage would be better for my sensitive dehydrated oily skin . Because it makes my face feel too tight while letting sits in which don't take long and it doesn't leave a greasy feeling and no residue but it will feel sticky if you use too much which is unnecessary Because a little goes a long way and I don't have a tiny face so.... for brighting dark marks am not sure Because I haven't been using it for a month yet and am using other products that my give me a brighting effect so I wouldn't know if this product would contributes to that .if you have sensitive skin like me I don't think is wise to use this product after a exfoliating toner my skin burns when I do so and I only use this product once a day in the night even though it says it's safe for morning and night I think because of the high percentage doing it twice puts my skin in a comprising position which I quickly learn.
