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

Works for me
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.

Love this brand but on the fence with this serum..
Iâm 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.Iâve 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 itâs reducing the oil , but , I canât risk my skin getting more dry, especially during these cold winter months.Iâm very on the fence with this still, but Iâm going to put it aside and try it out again in the summer when my skin isnât as dryâ¦

Honest 1 Month Results – Tremendously Reduces Breakouts
I have been using this serum once every morning for almost a month and hereâs what I noticed.NO it didnât heal my months old scars like I had hoped, but no prior products that Iâve 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, Iâve 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 Iâm 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 donât is because I already use an azelaic acid serum at night and donât want to overdo it with 2 different serums at once. Iâll update in the future if things happen to go sideways.

So much better
Iâm 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!
Customer –
Nice
I have been using this for a few weeks now and have noticed a difference in my skin. It has helped so much with reducing the number of breakouts I get and makes my skin look great.

Works well
Feels nice on my skin and doesnât clog my pores. Works great for sensitive oily skin. Doesnât dry out my skin and is rather hydrating. Great value for my money considering how much product you get it will last me quite a while.
Amazon Reviewer –
Very nice
This serum is moisturizing and helps make skin look much more smooth and balanced. I usually have really big, noticeable pores on my nose, and after using this for 2 weeks I think they look much smaller.
