Pros
I've used it for about 6 months and repurchased it twice. It has a slightly sticky texture and is applied using a dropper. It has good spreadability and absorption. It has also reduced skin troubles and improved skin texture.
Cons
There was a slight stinging sensation when I first applied it, but it went away afterwards.

I love that it's not sticky and really helps calm my blemishes! It seems to work great for oily skin types.
Cons
The downside is that it might be a bit too harsh for those with super sensitive skin.

Pros
With consistent use, I noticed a slight reduction in my small bumps
Cons
The pilling is really severe, and if you rub your face a while after applying, it comes off like dead skin. The small bumps don't completely disappear either, so I can't really recommend it...

Pros
My skin type is dry! Genetically, I tend to have more severe acne. My forehead is fine, but there is a bit of oiliness around my nose area. When I apply products and go to sleep, a film seems to form on the surface the next day, and I get a very shiny appearance. And while I don't have a lot of acne, it has improved quite a bit!!
Cons
First, when applied, it causes a slight heat sensation on the skin. When the skin is sensitive, applying this makes the skin quite irritated and overly stimulated (not recommended for sensitive skin). If applied excessively, a white powder-like substance can be left behind the next day. I also didn't see much of a whitening effect.
Tip
Don't apply too much. It's better to first apply another toner and then use only a small amount, spreading it evenly. On days when your skin is sensitive, it's best to avoid using it.

Pros
While the scent is truly unpleasant, this product's effectiveness is impressive! The absorption is so-so - if you apply too much, it can leave a white cast during the next skincare steps, but it does absorb very quickly. It's excellent at drying up excess oil, suppressing blemishes, and you can really feel it brightening your complexion. A top-notch product in terms of value for money.
Cons
The smell is really off-putting. If it weren't for the scent, there'd be no reason not to recommend this product.
Tip
Try using it consistently along with a skin booster. The effects will be amplified.

Pros
This product is fantastic at drying up excess oil and preventing blemishes! I struggled with acne for a year, but after using this, I've been liberated from breakouts! I strongly recommend this to anyone dealing with acne troubles!
Cons
When used with other products, it can sometimes pill and leave white residue!

Pros
The more I applied it, the more it seemed to reduce my blemishes and acne marks. Since I have combination skin, I layered it with the Wellage hydrating ampoule and Dionis ampoule. It felt like the effects were amplified.
Cons
Usually, I layer ampoules multiple times, but I can't do that with this product. It pills up like dead skin cells. Apart from this, there are no drawbacks!

Pros
I decided to try The Ordinary's niacinamide product as my introduction to the brand, and it was definitely the right choice. As someone with combination dehydrated skin that's prone to blemishes and super sensitive, I've found it particularly effective for those pesky little bumps. It's great at controlling oil, so whenever I feel like my skin is about to break out, I reach for this without hesitation. After using it consistently for about 3 days, I notice a significant reduction in blemishes, and my complexion becomes clearer and brighter! As a bonus, it even helps smooth out my skin texture. It really works hard for your skin!
Cons
The dropper on the product seems a bit weak, as it struggles to properly draw up the contents. You often need to pump it multiple times to get enough product, so the packaging could use some improvement. Also, as you use it, a white residue tends to build up and flake off around the bottle opening, which can be a bit inconvenient.
Tip
I apply this right after my toner! If you use it after layering several other skincare products, you might experience some pilling.

Pros
I've been using the famous The Ordinary serum from the US for over 6 months now. It definitely works wonders on blemishes! I love that the glass bottle is recyclable and the price is wallet-friendly. While the application method isn't necessarily easier compared to other brands, the reliable ingredients are a huge plus.
Cons
This isn't really a product I'd use consistently every day. For me, it's more of a go-to when my skin is in serious distress. It can be a bit tricky to layer with other products. The texture is quite thick, like a viscous night serum, and when it dries, it becomes both tacky and sticky. Also, it's known for causing pilling.
Tip
People often mention the pilling issue with this product, and I've experienced it too. Here's a pro tip: use only 3 drops! (One on the forehead, one on each cheek). Make sure it's completely dry before applying a lightweight moisturizer on top for best results.

Pros
It really brightens up your complexion! Plus, it helps fade those pesky blemish scars!
Cons
After it absorbs and dries, the applied areas tend to peel off a bit.
Tip
For enhanced results, try applying it under a sheet mask to lock in the hydration.
