Terrible product
Do not use causes allergic reactions. I used a little bit of it last night on my face and woke up with very swollen eyes and very bad redness all over my face. I want my money back.

too oily
I don't like it, it's too oily; so much oily that it runs: yesterday I almost ate it. Furthermore, I did not find any beneficial effects.

Broke me out really bad
I had really high hopes for this product and thus I am really disappointed. I am 16 and Ive never really struggled with acne in particular. Ive been getting lots of bumpy texture and closed comedones on my face, also experiencing some singular pimples here and there, these happened probably due to me adding into my routine a moisturizer that was too heavy for my skin. These pimples however werent really inflamed or hurt. I decided to try The Ordinary's serum because I saw someone say it saved their skin. So since my skin has been experiencing some problems I hoped this serum would solve them. Ive Heard about "the purging phase" and that this product will most probably cause it. I started using it about 3 weeks ago, and I did, in fact get lots of new pimples. They were inflamed, they hurt and they wouldnt go away. I also experienced some under-skin ones, i don't know what theyre called, but just they don't have anything "poppable" they just hurt and are swollen. And to this day i kept telling myself its the purging phase and i have to just suck it up and keep going. But my skin has gotten so bad ive become insecure about it like ive never been before. I don't think that what i experienced is what the purging phase should look like. Today i decided to stop using this product because it just breaks me out. So sadly i cant recommend this product :(( i added a star because it did a great job at keeping my dry skin moisturized

Lovin my new forehead
I almost didn't buy after reading some of these reviews. I can't complain about my skin too much but always had a bumpy forehead w closed comedones, and particularly my temples. So I was terrified of the "purge". I think y'all just using too much too fast. I tried 2 drops, one for my forehead and one on jawline etc 2-3x a week and after 3 months I'm having noticeable improvement. Probably best for "mild" treatment on sensitive skin given how I've used it without irritation or an ugly purge phase

I love it
Yes, the smell is not very pleasant; Yes, the texture feel oily, even though it is not an oil-based serum, yes it doesn't sink in, but I love this product. I have had horrible breakouts for a few years on my chin and jawline and this product, in combination with the classic Salicylic Acid 2% solution, really helped me. I don't have big and painful pimples like I used to. And when I have a pimple, it disappear in 3 days, and it is waaaay smaller than what I had before. I use this product on the morning, and the classi serum in the evening. It even helped me when I had a little bit of eczema under one of my eye. This product; for example, works way better than the niacinamide 10% for me :)
