Like many people, I finally hopped on the Niacinamide serum bandwagon but have to share that after using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, I (and literally everyone I know) ended up breaking out so badly after using it. It’s one of those products that sounds perfect on paper: affordable, sciencey, minimal ingredients… until your skin rebels.
The Ordinary does a great job making their products look super clinical and trustworthy, which I think makes people second guess whether it’s the serum or them when things go wrong… But trust me, if it’s not working for you, you’re not alone.
