The Ordinary Balancing & Clarifying Serum, Multi-Active Solution for Oil Control and Pore Refinement, 1 Fl Oz

I love this brand. I use many things by them. This one is quickly one of my favorites. No irritation, absorbed quickly, feels lovely, etc. just a simple and nice product. I will be buying more.

I am loving how my skin is feeling since i started using this line. I've seen some minimal changes, not sure if anyone else notices but I do and that's what matters

I’m no stranger to The Ordinary and have had great experiences with their skincare products, so I was eager to try out The Ordinary Balancing & Clarifying Serum.I have fairly sensitive skin and have had no adverse reactions.I’ve only been using a couple weeks and have yet to see any change to my pores.The oil though, I do see a change BUT it also makes my skin VERY dry. Which makes sense since it’s reducing the oil , but , I can’t risk my skin getting more dry, especially during these cold winter months.I’m very on the fence with this still, but I’m going to put it aside and try it out again in the summer when my skin isn’t as dry…

A must-have for oily and combination skin! Lightweight, absorbs quickly, and helps minimize pores. Keeps my skin balanced without feeling greasy.

Very lightweight serum that absorbs quickly and feels nice on my skin after it dries. It doesn't require much to cover my entire face. I do think it's helping to reduce the amount of oil produced, without causing any dryness or irritation to my skin.

I have been using this serum once every morning for almost a month and here’s what I noticed.NO it didn’t heal my months old scars like I had hoped, but no prior products that I’ve ever used had successfully helped erase blemish. However, my skin has definitely been LESS OILY and I have had MUCH LESS FREQUENT & LESS SEVERE BREAKOUTS. I used to break out every 1-2 weeks, sometimes with the painful red or whiteheads that potentially lead to scarring. But for nearly a month now, I’ve only gotten 1 non-painful tiny zit on my cheek that went away on its own, and 2 red possibly scar-prone ones on the area above my lips where I have neglected to apply the serum over. The rest of my face have not experienced any active breakouts since and I’m LOVING it. This serum seems to miraculously help with skin congestion as promised.You could definitely try incorporating this serum twice a day. The only reason I don’t is because I already use an azelaic acid serum at night and don’t want to overdo it with 2 different serums at once. I’ll update in the future if things happen to go sideways.

I’m so pleased with this serum! My face gets extremely oily and I have seen a significant change in it over the last few weeks. My t zone specifically is super oily usually but my makeup has been staying on like no other!

I dont really see any changes with this serum. I usually love the Ordinary but this wasn’t wowing me. Im a bit disappointed. Others seem to have a better experience, though.
