Where they part company
Mad About Skin calls The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% yay. James Welsh calls it nay. Two experts, one product, takes about 2 weeks apart, and opposite conclusions. Their own words are above; we are not going to tell you which of them is right.

Why we only pair takes from the same month
A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next.

So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
