Why You’ll Love The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

What to expect from regular use?

There is no universal skin care miracle and consistency is more important than using too much. The manufacturer claims to improve aspects such as smoothness, hydration, radiance, and excess sebum and pore appearance over time. The use of the serum is best done on a regular basis as part of a well-rounded skin care regimen, not expecting immediate results.

Does it work with other skin care products?

Niacinamide can be combined with a lot of other skin-care active ingredients, but combinations should be used carefully.
It can be added to routines that include ingredients like hyaluronic acid, retinoids or salicylic acid as per your skin tolerance and routine.
The Ordinary suggests that this serum is not applied concurrently with direct or indirect vitamin C products.
