The Ordinary - myru review for Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

°° Texture and Application °° It's a clear, water based serum that's very slightly viscous. Feels light on the skin and spreads nicely. It often leaves my skin feeling a bit sticky and sometime it pills, so I try to avoid that by gently patting it in. • Experience and Thoughts • I used this serum daily in both my am and pm routine and it lasted for almost two months. My skin never got irritated or too dry while using this. It also seemed to reduce my redness a bit. The biggest change I saw in my skin was that my t zone was less oily throughout the day and my pores felt less clogged. I think it also helped a bit with preventing new breakouts, though the difference wasn't that huge. In terms of reducing hyper-pigmentation or the appearence of my pores there weren't any improvements, but I also didn't expect much considering it's a very simple serum. It's not by any means a miracle product but it can be a nice addition to an already established routine or if you've never tried niacinamide and are looking for something affordable. It's biggest strength is the price, probably the lowest there is for a niacinamide serum. ✓Suitable for... It think all skin types could use this but oily and combination skins could benefit more from its sebum controlling properties.
