I was looking for something to replace the ordinary's niacinamide + zinc because it was a bit too drying for me even though I have oily skin. I'm glad I came across this because none of the issues I had with the ordinary's product were present with Tiam's Vita B3 Source. There's no smell, it sinks into the skin, it doesn't pill, and it's not drying at all. It has also helped with lightening acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
