Why You’ll Love The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
If your skin seems shiny, uneven or congested, sometimes it’s best to simplify your routine rather than complicate it. The Ordinary Niacinamide 1% + Zinc 1% Serum does exactly that, it’s a serum with two popular skin care actives in one light gel.
Niacinamide provides support to a smoother, brighter looking skin complexion, while Zinc PCA works to balance excess sebum. They combine to make this serum a feasible option for those who are experiencing an excess of shiny skin, clumpy texture, and pockmarked skin.
Its water-based, lightweight consistency also allows for easy application with other skin care products.

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.
