Balancing and Clarifying Serum - Rensende og afbalancerende serum

I added it to my routine, using it twice daily, and my skin tone immediately became noticeably more even. You don’t need to use much so I imagine it’ll last a long time for the price too. Definitely recommend!

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

Worst the Ordinary product ever

This keeps causing me to breakout. I bought it to help reduce some acne scars but they've only gotten worse. Its been months of me using this and I just realized that it is the reason why my skin has been breaking out non stop lately

Worth it!

Used it for 2 days and finally my acne is under control. I got results immediately once I used it and I kept breaking out into new pimples everyday before I had this.

Made me PURGE! Whiteheads all over!

Made me break out immediately! Is my skin supposed to purge? I’ve tried to research as much as I can and I don’t see anyone mention a purging. So many good reviews but my chin is a disaster and I’m embarrassed to leave the house. So many white heads popped up and my chin is in so much pain it hurts to talk. Can someone from The Ordinary please tell me if this is normal? I look hideous!

Holy Grail - Great Results, Great Price.

This product has worked miracles. It cleared up my stubborn acne in about two weeks. It controlled sebum/oil in about a month. Usage notes: I use it at night, followed by Hyaluronic Acid. When I know that hormonal acne is imminent, I use both morning and night.

It was not bad

I received The Ordinary Balancing and Clarifying Serum free in return for my honest review. I was excited to see if this serum could help manage my oily skin and minimize pores. Starting with its effectiveness, I found the results to be mixed. It does a decent job of reducing excess shine and keeping my skin less oily throughout the day. However, I didn't see a significant difference in my enlarged pores or post-acne marks. My skin felt hydrated, but I didn’t notice a major improvement in radiance or overall clarity. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, which I appreciated. It’s easy to layer with other products in my routine without feeling heavy or greasy. However, it left a slightly tacky feeling on my skin, which wasn’t my favorite. The scent is very mild, almost non-existent, which is great if you’re sensitive to strong fragrances. I prefer products that don’t have overpowering scents, so this was a plus for me. The packaging is simple and functional. It comes in a small dropper bottle, making it easy to control the amount you use. However, the bottle feels a bit flimsy and could be more durable, especially if you’re like me and tend to be a bit clumsy during busy mornings. When it comes to ingredients, The Ordinary always impresses with their straightforward and effective formulations. This serum combines several interesting components like Sarcosine, L-Carnitine, and N-Acetylglucosamine, which are supposed to help with oiliness and uneven skin texture. While the ingredient list is promising, I feel like the results were not as dramatic as I hoped. Overall, The Ordinary Balancing and Clarifying Serum is a decent product that might work well for some, but it didn’t quite meet all my expectations. It’s good at controlling oil and providing hydration, but I didn’t see significant changes in pore size or skin texture. Given its reasonable price, it might be worth a try if you’re looking for a basic serum, but don’t expect miracles.

Holy grail!!

This stuff is amazing! I have pretty oily and acne prone skin, but more on the congested side rather than cystic. This serum really makes a difference and improves the overall texture of the skin, without drying it out. I use it morning and night.

Must have.

Great product would definitely purchase again. The ingredients are great and it is very effective.

Not working for me

I had high hopes for this to help with my enlarged pores and oily T-zone. My skin seems oilier when I incorporate it into my routine.

Helps with acne prone skin

This serum goes on light and absorbs nicely! I suffer with oily skin and occasional breakouts and this serum seems to help with the oil and is clearing my acne. Bottle has a dropper application which helps dose out the right amount without compromising touching the product.

Excellent product, it left my wife's skin very soft and hydrated, she loves its refreshing fragrance and its texture is very soft for the skin, she loves its ingredients
