Balancing & Clarifying - Serum za uravnoteženje i pročišćavanje

A rare letdown from the ordinary

The ordinary rarely ever lets me down, I use so many of their serums and I’m always so happy with the results. This one unfortunately, was the exception using this in areas where I am prone to acne, didn’t seem to prevent acne from forming and placing this on areas where acne was starting to develop did not seem to reduce it at all 

I love it!!

so so good!!! what a surprising serum i found randomly and i have oily and sd prone skin. this serum causes no irritation and the oil control effect is very very obvious after just a 1 time use. RECOMMEND!!

Cystic breakouts

After using this product over just 2 weeks, I started breaking out into giant cystic acne. Not just one or two, over the course of the 2 weeks there were 8!!! Never had them before. Would not recommend!!!

Didn't help acne/congestion, balanced oil

This definitely helps control the oil, but to the point I need to use a heavier moisturizer. Didn't impact my acne (no increase or decrease) and didn't change the appearance of my pores and blackheads. I've never run out of a serum so quickly and that's part of why I won't rebuy, especially at this price point for this brand.

A really great, affordable serum!

I've been really enjoying this new Balancing and Clarifying Serum by The Ordinary! I like that they're affordable, and their packaging is nice and simplistic. I didn't notice much of a scent. The texture is really nice - not too thick, but not too thin. It felt good while being applied, and it absorbed pretty quickly. I haven't been using it long enough to really notice any results, but I do like this serum enough that I'll be using it until it's gone! I don't really have blemish-prone skin, which is who this would be best for, but I do get hormonal acne, and I'm excited to see how it'll help me next month! Fingers crossed! I think it's gonna work well, because the ingredients are pretty great! If you're looking for a high quality serum at an affordable price, and if you're having trouble with blemishes, then this is the perfect skincare product to add to your routine!

Used the whole bottle and saw no difference. Will not be purchasing again.

Pass

I haven't seen any results with this serum. It takes a long time to sink into my skin, and it has a slightly unpleasant smell to me. Pass.

I have used one full bottle no difference noticed on the skin. Used day and night.

Acne clearing and moisturizing

Honestly this really helped clear up my stubborn acne while also keeping my skin hydrated (for my morning routine, I've only been using this on top of a toner, but occasionally I'll put copper peptides on top of it if I'm feeling saucy). I use both morning and night.

Actually works!

After using this serum my acne has cleared up drastically. It leaves my skin looking & feeling flawless. Application is easy. The serum has a bit of a sticky oily texture while first applying but dries up nicely. I recommend the ordinary brand and their products for all skincare needs.

Must have for acne prone skin

This absolutely saved my skin. Such a gentle formula but so effective. 10/10 recommend!!!

No thank you

Quite literally the worst product I’ve ever used. The niacinamide concentration is way too high and broke me out like crazy.
