TL;DR — Reddit consensus

Reddit's pick when they want a gentler, cheaper niacinamide than The Ordinary — a lightweight 10% serum for oil control and blemish-prone skin, though reviewers note results are subtle and the packaging is fiddly.

What they don’t

−

Results subtle; packaging is divisive

“3.5/5. This is only to be recommended if you can get past The Inkey List's packaging.”
