I was very, very, very excited with the launch of The Ordinary skincare range and this particular serum was one of those products in the launch that I was most interested in. The main reason being is that niacinamide is one of those skincare ingredients that I have always had a fascination in as many scientific papers discuss the benefits of this ingredient on the skin. What also further added to this fascination was Korean Skincare, as many products incorporate the use of niacinamide and in the products that I have used with this, my skin has felt much more balanced and brighter. Did I see the same results with The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%? Well its a tough one because I did see some improvement of some pigmentation (yay blemish scars!) but I did not feel any form of improvement in terms of skin being balanced. For the price however, I am not really complaining but I can't say I am raving about this either. Show less
