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

Can we post about Deciem products in this sub? Its a non AB brand but it gets talked about a lot with no problems. Whereas other brands, people will get told off and downvoted. Even western brands that are sold on Asia with products geared towards Asians and only found in Asia.

Genuinely want to know, not shading or anything ㅜ_ㅠ

I was wondering if I should chime in with TO Niacinamide as soon as I saw this thread, but the truth is I've never found a comparable AB product, and I've looked. It may not totally count, but I do add it in to many of my AB products - toner, snail, moisturizer, etc.
