About The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a lightweight, water-based serum designed to support clearer-looking, smoother, and more balanced skin. It is particularly suitable for oily, combination, blemish-prone, and congested skin.

The formula combines 10% niacinamide (vitamin B3) with 1% zinc PCA. Niacinamide helps support the skin barrier, improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture, and reduce the visible effects of excess oil. Zinc PCA complements the formula by supporting a balanced-looking complexion.

Its lightweight texture makes it suitable for use in both morning and evening skincare routines.

Key Benefits

• Helps reduce the appearance of blemishes and post-blemish marks
• Supports a stronger skin barrier and better moisture retention
• Helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and texture
• Helps reduce the appearance of excess shine
• Can make enlarged-looking pores appear less noticeable
• Supports smoother, clearer-looking skin
• Lightweight and suitable for oily and combination skin

Suitable For

This serum is generally suitable for most skin types, particularly:

• Oily skin
• Combination skin
• Blemish-prone skin
• Congested skin
• Skin with uneven texture or tone
• Skin affected by excess shine
• People with sensitive skin may prefer to introduce the product gradually because the 10% niacinamide concentration can be strong for some individuals.

Ingredients

Niacinamide 10%, Zinc PCA 1%

How to Use

1. Cleanse your face and pat the skin dry.
2. Apply 2–3 drops of the serum to the face, avoiding the eye area.
3. Gently spread or press the serum into the skin without vigorous rubbing.
4. Follow with a moisturizer.
5. During the day, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

It can be used morning and evening. If you are new to high-strength niacinamide, start once daily and increase frequency as your skin becomes accustomed to it.

Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.

How to Add It to Your Routine

Morning

Cleanser → Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

Evening

Cleanser → Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% → Moisturizer

The serum can also be layered with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. Apply products from lighter to heavier textures.

Compatibility

Niacinamide is generally compatible with many common skincare ingredients. However, if your skin is sensitive, avoid introducing several strong active products at the same time.

If using exfoliating acids, retinoids, or other potentially irritating treatments, consider alternating them or using them at different times until you know how your skin responds.

The Ordinary's current guidance should be followed for combining this serum with its vitamin C products, particularly direct vitamin C formulations.

Results and Expectations

With consistent use, the skin may gradually appear smoother, more balanced, and less shiny. Improvements in the appearance of uneven tone, blemish marks, and texture generally take several weeks and vary from person to person.

Niacinamide cannot permanently shrink pores, but reducing excess oil and improving the appearance of skin texture may make pores look less noticeable.

This serum is not a complete treatment for persistent or severe acne. Consult a dermatologist if you have ongoing or severe breakouts.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

In hot climates, avoid leaving the serum in direct sunlight, inside a hot car, or near other heat sources.
