Oil GONE
I love this serum! I tried this and another and this was the WINNER! USE A MOISTURIZER! It’s important with oily skin to exfoliate AT LEAST 1 time a week so “dead skin” isn’t coming up. It’s also important to remember to apply it to CLEAN SKIN AND NOT DIRTY OILY SKIN and if you do, like any other liquid some NASTY STUFF is going to come up!!!!!! BUT IF you use this correctly TRUST ME it works! I used this and the ordinary brand of niacinamide serum and this blew it out of the water!!!!

Purchased for my boyfriend and he loves it, helps with his acne and the scars he developed from the acne. He also has sensitive skin and this brand never has irritated him. I definitely recommend if you have sensitive skin!

Worst Niacinamide I've used
Tried this product on a recommendation. It was tacky and sticky and left massive white patches where I spot tested it. Definitely not for daytime use as it made my foundation and primer do weird things. I returned it and went back to The Ordinary

Dries chalky.
I love the regular strength one, but this one dries too fast for the skin to absorb, dries chalky, and if you add a moisturizer to it to combat the chalk, the product turns peely, beads up and rolls off.

Fantastic. Apply Correctly.
I am 56 and have an oily Tzone with breakouts. I've been using this for 3 days and it has already made the world of difference. If you apply it correctly, it does NOT leave a white cast. Use a TINY amount and apply in one spot, rub in thoroughly, before moving on to the next spot. It has cleared up the oil over night. Layers well under sunscreen. I don't put anything on top of it at night. At $18 it is well priced. Try it. Apply a SUPER THIN layer. Let it dry. It will work.

PERFECT MATTIFIER!!
This product works AMAZING to balance oil and does NOT leave a white cast when used by the instructions. I'm 47 with combination oily skin and have used so many products the past 30 years. there was one thar reminded me of the way this one applies, so I knew how to make it work. First, always use the pea-sized amount suggested in the instructions. Blend out thoroughly, and then apply your moisturizer and / or SPF on top and walla!!! You have mattified skin ready for makeup!! Also helps balance oil for long lasting results over time. I will definitely repurchase this product.

Fantastic at fading sun melasma!
I started off using this as a spot treatment on some sun spots i had, but now they are all gone! Now i use it by mixing in a little into my night cream for an all over oil blocking and brightening effect. This cream is strong and i recommend using it at night as it does leave a matte white cast when you do spot treatments or don't mix it in with another cream..

Must have daytime and nighttime routine.
I love the texture of this product which is very gel like but the skin absorbs everything very well. I am on my second bottle right now. I have sensitive skin and this did not irritate or burn at all. The finish is also nice leaves skin soft.
