The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a lightweight, water-based serum formulated with a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3) and zinc PCA. This targeted treatment is designed for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin. Niacinamide helps refine the look of pores, balance visible sebum activity and support a more even skin tone, while zinc PCA contributes to controlling excess oil and minimising the appearance of blemishes. The simple, non-comedogenic formula absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy residue, making it easy to layer under moisturisers and sunscreen as part of a daily skincare routine.
Key Benefits:
Refines the Appearance of Pores
The 10% niacinamide concentration works to improve the look of enlarged pores by supporting the skin’s barrier and reducing surface oil that can make pores appear more prominent. Regular use helps skin look smoother and more refined.
Balances Visible Sebum Activity
Zinc PCA combined with niacinamide helps regulate excess oil production. This makes the serum especially useful for oily and combination skin types that struggle with midday shine and clogged pores.
Targets the Look of Blemishes
The formula supports clearer-looking skin by addressing factors that contribute to blemish formation. It helps reduce the appearance of existing blemishes while discouraging new ones from forming, without overly drying the skin.
Promotes a More Even Skin Tone
Niacinamide is known for its ability to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and residual marks left by blemishes. Over time, skin can look brighter and more uniform.
Lightweight & Non-Comedogenic
The water-based texture sinks in quickly and layers well under other products. It is suitable for most skin types, including those prone to congestion, and is free from unnecessary fillers that could irritate sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
Supports Skin Barrier Function
Niacinamide helps strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, improving resilience and reducing the likelihood of irritation from other active ingredients in a routine
