Hey Everyone,
Argghhhh I’m so frustrated right now. I have had problematic skin for quite a while, I went on a low dose course of accutane and since finishing have experienced pretty normal skin. I have always had dryer skin but would experience persistent breakouts and congestion. After accutane, I still experience congestion and breakouts but at a lesser severity. I’m still not content with the condition of my skin (scarring and so on) so I recently decided to incorporate The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% Zinc 1% into my skincare routine. Since adding this product into my skincare routine, I have noticed heaps of red bumps/ pimples popping up around my chin and cheeks. I can’t tell whether this product is purging my skin or breaking me out. Have you had any experience with this product?

eatasnickers there is a whole forum thread dedicated to The Ordinary, I know quite a few beauties have tried the niacinamide so perhaps drop into that thread, you will get more answers from there. Just search "the ordinary" in forum topics and you will find it =) good luck
Quite a few of us have used and are still using The Ordinary Niacinamide, including myself. It is a pretty versatile ingredient and also often appears in other products.
Niacinamide can actually help with breakouts but there are also people who are allergic to it as an ingredient. You might fall into that category if you have not used niacinamide before and are experiencing a breakout.
It might also be that you are using too much of it - perhaps use it sparingly as a spot treatment and see how you go. If you get it where you have applied it as a spot, then the likelihood is that your skin cannot tolerate it.
Otherwise, feel free to join us on The Ordinary thread: https://www.beautyheaven.com.au/forums/skincare/the-ordinary-the-brand-we-need-to-talk-about?page=39#comment-4465661
