Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you've heard of this little number before, or if it's already a staple product in you & your best friends routine. The Ordinary themselves have gained a cult following due to their clinically formulated, vegan-friendly range that's also super affordable to boot.

After mountains of online reviews from the written to the excitedly spoken YouTubers, I decided to cave & try this cult classic myself, at $9.90 my bank didn't mind to much at the hopes of clearer, brighter skin.

It always makes me feel like a little beauty scientist using the Ordinary, and the texture of this product helped - it was gooey, clear and sticky, it dried quickly so it was a quick add-on to my routine. I gave this product a day & night trial over the period of a month and a half, and sadly... it was a bomb for me.

In fact, my skin purged from this product - an unusual occurrence for me but I rolled with it, as I exited this product from my routine my skin settled back to its old self.

I bet you're wondering why I'd recommend this if it didn't work for me? Well, not to mention the massive amount of positive reviews, but the Niacinamide itself (Vitamin B3) is proven to minimize the appearance of blemishes and discolouration, while the Zinc Salt helps to regulate sebum production for a clearer and more refined complexion. How's that for a powerful little serum?

End result: For me, a re-trial in the future - for you, clearer, brighter skin with diminished blemish appearance.
