Great for acne-prone skin
A great formula for acne-prone skin. I felt like this serum really helped calm my skin and rebalance it after a year of stress and maybe too many active ingredients. It did better than 2 months with a facialist. Great value for money and I think it works for my skin type. Like other Ordinary formulas, it sometimes causes other skincare/makeup to pill, so just a word of warning if you’re layering multiple products to let it dry down first. Doesn’t dry sticky, leaves a slight glowy/dewy finish.

Definitely worth it
This makes my pores appear a lot smaller. It also really hydrates my skin like moisturizer. Itâs a great product overall. Iâve had no breakouts with this.

Not sure it helpedâ¦
I tried to use this product to control my oil issues that were occurring from my acidic toner (I only found out it was from the toner and switched it later, this item was a first attempt to fix my issues) the product stated it helps with oiliness and balances the face so I figured Iâd give it a shot.Problem was, this says it will help balance but my oil issues didnât improve with multiple uses of this product.Iâm sure itâs helped others with different issues so check other reviews but to fix my oil T zone, I switched to a gentle toner, not an acidic one. Specifically, the milky toner from The Ordinary. So definitely check other reviews regarding this product cause I didnât have a great experience but it didnât affect my skin negatively. So 3/5 stars.

Great product
My skin gets irritated from salicylic and glycolic acids but needed something to gently control clogged pores on Tzone. It has worked great and I will continue to use regularly. Very happy.
