ConsThe scent is really unpleasant. As I have super sensitive skin, it stung and caused a burning sensation when applied. It's fine right after application, but over time my skin feels tight. It doesn't absorb well, and if you rub it in, it pills like white powder. Even layering cream on top doesn't prevent pilling.
TipWhile the effects were truly great, there were many inconveniences during application. However, I found that gently patting it on and waiting a bit before layering cream prevents both the tightness and pilling issues.

Due to the irritation, poor absorption, and pilling, I probably won't repurchase it.
ConsThis was my first time trying niacinamide, but it was too harsh for me. My lips even swelled up a bit at first. Despite its great reputation, it just doesn't suit me and pills terribly, like dead skin cells.
TipI'll just mix the leftover product with my body emulsion. That's the best tip I can offer.

It works wonders on blemishes, smooths out uneven skin texture, and evens skin tone like magic.
ConsHowever, it can be quite painful. Extremely painful, in fact. At first, I didn't notice the pain, but as I increased the frequency of use, it became so unbearably painful that I was brought to tears. It made my skin extremely dry, and the area around my eyes was agonizingly painful. Be sure to carefully adjust the frequency and amount you apply. Since it tends to pill like dead skin cells, I only use it as part of my night care routine.

ConsWhen first applied, there's a strong tingling sensation. If your skin is sensitive, it can feel irritating and cause a burning sensation, which I didn't like

It doesn't leave a greasy feeling, just a sense of deep hydration.
ConsUsing this alone can cause red spots to appear on the face. It seems to be quite irritating, so those who don't tolerate active ingredients well should avoid it. For example, like the Numbers:in Pantothenic Acid Serum. That's why I don't apply this serum when I'm not wearing makeup! If I do use it, I always make sure to layer a soothing cream on top.
TipI recommend this as a pre-makeup base serum for those with combination dehydrated skin.

The finish feels refreshingly light.
ConsI'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but I noticed a couple of blemishes after using this...

I have oily skin that doesn't usually feel dry even on winter mornings, but I was surprised to see no oiliness on my face the day after using this product in the evening (which means it was actually dry). Instead, my skin texture changed dramatically - I was amazed at how soft my skin had become, wondering if it had always been this smooth.
ConsWhile it improved my skin texture, my cheeks turned red. I felt a stinging sensation right after applying it, so it seems it irritated my skin. It was fine when I used only a small amount. The dropper holds quite a lot, so you need to be careful with the amount you use. Also, the smell isn't very pleasant... It seems most The Ordinary products are like that.

Unfortunately, I noticed more drawbacks than benefits.
ConsI'm not sure what's supposed to be good about this product. On days when my skin isn't in great condition, it stings terribly and seems to make my skin even redder. I've only used it a few times before abandoning it. I have extremely oily skin that's prone to blemishes due to excess sebum production when I wake up in the morning, along with slight deep dryness.

The price was also quite affordable.
ConsI used this for blemish aftercare when my breakouts had subsided, but it pilled like dead skin cells and caused itching. The next day, I had a lot more blemishes pop up.
TipI tried it again a few months later, but my skin became extremely bumpy and irritated. The best tip I can give is to not buy this product at all.

The packaging design is attractive and user-friendly.
ConsI tried adjusting the amount and even switching creams, but it often left a white residue like dead skin cells. Also, there's a slight feeling of deep dryness after application.
TipIf it suits your skin, it's an excellent product to keep using. However, if not, the feel on the skin is quite disappointing compared to other serums.
