The Ordinary Niacinamide 10%+Zinc1% 30ml

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (30ml) is a popular serum from The Ordinary skincare line, known for its high-quality, effective ingredients at affordable prices. Here’s an overview of this product:

Key Ingredients:

1. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – 10% concentration:
   • Reduces the appearance of pores: Niacinamide helps to regulate oil production in the skin, which can reduce the size and visibility of pores.
   • Improves skin texture: It helps in strengthening the skin barrier and promotes a smoother, more even skin texture.
   • Brightens skin: Niacinamide can help even out skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation or dark spots, making the skin appear more radiant.
2. Zinc PCA – 1% concentration:
   • Regulates oil production: Zinc helps balance sebum production, making this serum especially beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
   • Anti-inflammatory properties: It can reduce redness and inflammation, helping to calm irritated skin.
   • Supports healing: Zinc is also known for its ability to promote skin healing and reduce the risk of scarring.

Benefits:

• Controls Oil and Breakouts: The combination of niacinamide and zinc helps balance oil levels in the skin, which can help prevent clogged pores and acne breakouts.
• Minimizes Pore Appearance: Regular use can lead to visibly smaller pores and a smoother, clearer complexion.
• Soothes and Reduces Redness: The anti-inflammatory properties of niacinamide and zinc can help reduce redness, irritation, and blemishes, making it suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

How to Use:

1. Apply after cleansing: After washing your face with a gentle cleanser, apply a few drops of the serum to your face, focusing on areas where oil and pores are most noticeable.
2. Avoid mixing with Vitamin C: It’s generally recommended not to use niacinamide and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) together in the same routine, as they can potentially neutralize each other.
3. Follow with moisturizer: After applying niacinamide serum, follow up with a hydrating moisturizer and, if using in the morning, finish with sunscreen.

Who It’s Best For:

• Oily, acne-prone skin: Niacinamide and zinc help control oil production and reduce breakouts.
• Sensitive skin: Both ingredients are gentle and can help calm inflammation without causing irritation.
• Uneven skin tone: It is effective in reducing dark spots and evening out skin tone.

Size:

• The product comes in a 30ml bottle, making it a fairly long-lasting product depending on how often you use it.
