Description:

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% – 30ml is a powerful yet gentle serum formulated to target various skin concerns, including excess oiliness, blemishes, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is the star ingredient in this serum, renowned for its ability to regulate sebum production, enhance skin barrier function, and promote a more balanced complexion. Zinc PCA (Zinc salt of L-pyrrolidone carboxylate) complements niacinamide by further controlling sebum production and offering anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal solution for those struggling with oily or acne-prone skin.

Benefits:

1. Regulates Sebum Production: Niacinamide helps to regulate sebum (oil) production in the skin, making it an excellent choice for individuals dealing with excess oiliness or shine.
2. Reduces Blemishes: The serum’s formulation aids in reducing the appearance of blemishes and promoting clearer, more even-toned skin.
3. Minimizes Pores: With regular use, this serum can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, resulting in a smoother and more refined skin texture.
4. Strengthens Skin Barrier: Niacinamide strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, helping to protect against environmental stressors and prevent moisture loss.
5. Anti-inflammatory Properties: Zinc PCA possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin or conditions like acne.
6. Brightens Skin Tone: Continued use of niacinamide can contribute to a brighter and more radiant complexion by reducing the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone.

How to Apply:

1. Cleanse: Begin by cleansing your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. Pat dry with a clean towel.
2. Tone (Optional): If you use a toner as part of your skincare routine, apply it now. However, this step is optional.
3. Apply Serum: Dispense a few drops of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum onto your fingertips. Gently massage the serum onto your face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area.
4. Allow Absorption: Allow the serum to absorb into your skin for a few minutes before proceeding with your next skincare steps.
5. Moisturize: Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration and further nourish your skin.
6. Sun Protection: During the day, it’s crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Additional Tips:

• Patch Test: Before incorporating any new skincare product into your routine, it’s advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions.
• Consistency is Key: For optimal results, use The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum consistently, preferably both morning and night, as part of your skincare regimen.
• Layering: This serum can be layered with other water-based serums or lightweight moisturizers. However, if you’re unsure about compatibility, consult a skincare professional.
