The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum 30ml

Product Overview: 

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum is a high-strength, multi-functional serum formulated to address a variety of skin concerns, including excess oil production, acne, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is a powerhouse ingredient known for its ability to balance oil production, reduce redness and irritation, and improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. Zinc complements niacinamide by regulating sebum production and supporting skin healing. This lightweight, non-greasy formula is suitable for all skin types, especially oily and acne-prone skin.

Benefits:

1. Reduces Excess Oil Production: Zinc helps regulate sebum production, making it especially beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin types.
2. Minimizes the Appearance of Pores: The combination of niacinamide and zinc helps to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, giving the skin a smoother, more refined look.
3. Improves Skin Tone: Niacinamide is well-known for its ability to brighten and even out skin tone, reducing the appearance of dark spots, redness, and hyperpigmentation.
4. Calms and Soothes: This serum helps reduce redness and inflammation, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or conditions like acne and rosacea.
5. Balances and Protects: Niacinamide strengthens the skin’s natural barrier and helps to protect it from environmental stressors, maintaining a healthy, resilient complexion.
6. Non-Comedogenic: The formula is non-greasy and non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores or contribute to acne.
7. Suitable for All Skin Types: While particularly beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin, this serum is also gentle enough for dry and combination skin types.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse the Skin: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin.
2. Apply the Serum: After cleansing, apply a few drops of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum onto your fingertips.
3. Massage into the Skin: Gently massage the serum into your face, focusing on areas of excess oil, enlarged pores, or hyperpigmentation. Avoid the eye area.
4. Allow to Absorb: Give the serum time to absorb fully before applying other skincare products.
5. Follow with Moisturizer: Finish with your regular moisturizer to lock in hydration and help protect the skin.
6. Use Morning and Evening: For best results, use twice daily, in the morning and evening. However, if you have sensitive skin, you may start with once a day and gradually increase usage.

Tip: If using this serum during the day, follow with a sunscreen, as niacinamide can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. You may also want to patch-test the serum if you’re new to niacinamide to ensure your skin doesn’t react negatively.
