Balancing and Clarifying Serum - Sérum Equilibrante e Purificante

NOT FOR SENSITIVE, DRY SKIN.

i legit got this product 2 days ago. put it on after first getting it before i went to bed. i washed my face, applied a few drops, and then put on moisturizer. next day my ENTIRE face had splotches of red from irritation, and my skin was SUPER dry and perky. it has not gotten any better: i don’t recommend this product for dry and sensitive skin.

Actually found a serum for me

I'm a simple guy so I me products that are simple to apply, feel great, and at effective. The Balancing & Clarifying Serum by The Ordinary checks all of those boxes. The packaging makes it easy to get the right amount on your hands with the provided dropper. It applies smoothly and evenly. My face feels great after each application and the moisturizing is long lasting. It makes it easy to want to keep using by leaving you looking and feeling great.

A must have in daily skin routine

This is a great product for my daily skin care routine. It keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day.

LOVE THIS SERUM

Ive had it for about a month and it has worked wonders for my skin. I have acne all over and it has helped get rid of most of them. It will permanently be in my skincare now on. Will definitely be repurchasing this.

A new must have!!!

The very first time me and the wife tried this we noticed our skin clear up!!! Been trying for a few weeks and I must say I'll be trying again in future. Not oily and not water and has a decent smell.

Keeping in my morning routine

Adding this to my morning/night routine has kept my skin nice and hydrated. I did not notice a change in my breakouts, but I do love this brand and I will purchase again. I like that it absorbs quickly, leaving my skin hydrated but not greasy. No fragrance either, which is fine with me.

A must have for acne prone skin

One of the best things about The Ordinary products is their price point. This serum is budget-friendly without compromising quality. I love the combination of Niacinamide and Zinc PCA as a powerhouse duo for balancing oil production and reducing inflammation. The serum absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer under other products. While it helps with oil control and minor blemishes, it may not be potent enough for severe acne or other more serious skin concerns. The Ordinary Balancing and Clarifying Serum is a solid choice for anyone looking to manage oily or acne-prone skin. While it may not work miracles, it provides consistent results and complements other skincare products well. If you're new to skincare actives or just need a reliable, affordable option, this serum is definitely worth it!

Feels greasy and smells funny

I’m not usually a sensitive skin type, but I have combo skin. This felt pretty greasy and broke me out pretty bad. The smell wasn’t pleasant either, would be cautious about getting this.

Best treatment unbeatable price w/ amazing results

I suffer from stress hormonal acne and within a couple days I had no active acne and the scars were faded. I did have a mini purge but it lasted one day. I use HA or intense moisturizer afterwards and didn’t have an issue with dryness. 10 out of 10!!!

A great nighttime routine addition

This has quickly made the rotation of being in my nighttime skincare routine. It is a great serum for finishing off a skincare routine as it does not feel oily and is balanced just right.

Not for my skin

I received this product for testing purposes. Sadly, I could not properly test this serum. I tried to incorporate it into my routine twice and it made me break out. I passed it along to my niece, who posted her own review (it worked well for her (I'm 42, she's 19.). I love the brand, but this one just wasn't for me!

an effective product for skincare

The Ordinary Balancing and Clarifying Serum is a budget-friendly option for those seeking a lightweight formula to address blemishes and uneven skin tone
