THE ORDINARY Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% – Your Go-To for Blemishes & Shine

Say hello to clearer, calmer skin! This water-based serum is a cult favorite for a reason, tackling everything from pesky blemishes to unwanted shine for a visibly brighter, smoother complexion.

Why We Love It

  • Bold Label: Controls Shine: Helps to regulate sebum production, minimizing the look of oily skin and keeping you looking fresh, not greasy.
  • Reduces Blemishes: Works to visibly reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion, promoting a clearer-looking complexion over time.
  • Brightens Skin Tone: Niacinamide is a superstar at improving skin radiance, helping to even out skin tone and diminish dullness.
  • Minimizes Pores: By balancing oil and keeping skin clear, it helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores for a smoother texture.
  • Supports Skin Barrier: Strengthens your skin’s natural defenses, improving its ability to retain moisture and stay healthy and resilient.

Star Ingredients

This formula is packed with two of the most effective ingredients for blemish-prone and oily skin, working in harmony to restore balance.

  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multi-tasking hero that visibly improves the appearance of blemishes, congestion, and uneven skin tone while also supporting the skin barrier.
  • Zinc PCA: This powerful salt helps to balance visible aspects of sebum activity, effectively controlling shine without drying out your skin.

How to Use

After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops to your entire face before heavier creams. Pat it gently into the skin until fully absorbed.

Expert Tips & Pairings

To get the most out of this amazing serum, here are a few friendly tips:

  • Patch Test First: As with any new product, it’s always a good idea to patch test on a small area of skin first to check for sensitivity.
  • Don’t Mix with Vitamin C: If you use Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), it’s best to apply them at alternate times. Use this serum in the AM and Vitamin C in the PM, or vice versa.
  • Layer Like a Pro: This is a water-based serum, so always apply it before any oils or heavier creams to ensure it can be properly absorbed by your skin.

FAQs

Can I use this with my other acne treatments?
Yes, it's a great supporting player! However, it is not a treatment for acne itself. It helps with the visible side effects like blemishes and shine. For persistent acne, it's best to consult a dermatologist.
Will this dry out my skin?
Not at all! While Zinc helps control excess oil, the formula is designed to balance your skin, not strip it. Niacinamide actually helps to support your skin's moisture barrier.
Why can't I use this with Vitamin C?
Niacinamide can affect the integrity of pure-form Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid). To get the full benefit of both ingredients, it's best to use them in separate routines (e.g., one in the morning, one at night).
