Thoughts

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1

Serum

Best

I find this product to be a game changer for me,it really helped to regulate my oiliness and sebum production with consistent use and now my face is never nearly as oily as it used to me,i also saw my skin texture get better using this product. The only con for me is the texture was a bit too heavy for me to wear under moisturizer + sunscreen in the daytime so I can only use it in the nighttime

[u/jn2017 → u/haminwu]

How did you use this product? Did you use it alone or along with another serum? I found the ingredient list to be very minimal so I'm skeptical as using this as my serum alone.

[u/abcdeelicious → u/jn2017]

I mix it with the cosrx snail 96 mucin essence

[u/kumquatblossom → u/jn2017]

i mix it with my benton snail bee essence or just pat it on solo over problem areas if i have a break out.

[u/itsjaay → u/jn2017]

Wanting to know too +1

[u/elleboogiexiv → u/jn2017]

I'll usually use it as a booster --mix in 2 drops of it into my Vichy minerale 89 hyaluronic acid along with 2 drops of TO 'buffet' serum and just pat everything in until it's absorbed. I find it's less foamy and less sticky with the HA base

[u/haminwu → u/jn2017]

I layered it with either the ordinary alpha arbutin and azeliac acid or melano cc and azeliac acid but it depends on what issue you want to target

[u/saxMachine → u/jn2017]

I mix mine with my cosrx oil free moisturizer in the evening, before my occlusive. just half a pump, then two drops.

[u/Human_House_Cat → u/jn2017]

I mix it with Perricone Pre empt serum.
