The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum — Clearer, Balanced Skin in 30ml

Meet a high‑strength, lightweight serum designed for blemish-prone skin. The Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% formula targets visible congestion, excess oil, and uneven texture, helping you achieve a calmer, more radiant complexion. This water‑based serum is a staple in many routines because it’s built to work with a variety of skin types while staying gentle enough for daily use.

What makes it effective

The core power comes from a high concentration of two proven actives: 10% niacinamide (vitamin B3) and 1% zinc PCA. Niacinamide helps support the skin’s barrier function, promotes more even tone, and can reduce the appearance of pores, while zinc PCA helps regulate sebum production and address surface shine. The result is a reduction in blemishes over time and a reduction in excess oil that can clog pores. This formulation is designed to brighten and smooth the skin, contributing to a clearer complexion over continued use.

Who should consider this serum

• Oily or combination skin with frequent breakouts or congested pores
• Those seeking a lightweight routine that targets shine without heaviness
• Anyone aiming to improve skin texture and overall clarity over time

How to use it for best results

• Apply a few drops to cleansed skin in the morning and evening, before heavier creams or treatments.
• Avoid eye contact and rinse off if irritation occurs. Patch testing prior to use is advised.
• Follow with moisturizer and, in the daytime, sunscreen to protect treated skin. The product is designed to be compatible with a broad range of skincare steps.
• If you’re using vitamin C or other strong actives, consider using them in separate routines to preserve effectiveness.

Practical tips for real‑world use

• Start with 2–3 drops and adjust based on how your skin responds; if you notice any irritation, reduce frequency or concentration temporarily.
• Because the serum is water‑based and lightweight, it layers well under moisturizers and makeup without feeling greasy or heavy.
• Consistency is key: visible improvements in texture and pore appearance typically emerge with regular use over several weeks.

What sets this product apart

• High‑strength duo: 10% niacinamide plus 1% zinc PCA delivers targeted blemish reduction and oil control without heaviness.
• Formulation designed for daily use and broad compatibility across skin types, with a pH suited to most skin care routines (reported in product details).
• Affordable, 30ml bottle that provides a consistent daily regimen without the need for multiple separate products.

Why this matters in your routine

Clearer skin isn’t just about reducing blemishes; it’s about slowing the cycle of congestion and shine that can lead to visible pores and uneven texture. This serum helps address both oil production and skin clarity, so you can enjoy a smoother canvas for your daily regimen, whether you’re new to active skincare or looking to streamline a routine you trust.
