Key Benefits You’ll Love

• Reduces Blemishes & Breakouts: Niacinamide is a powerful ingredient known for its ability to regulate sebum production, minimizing the occurrence of acne and blemishes.
• Minimizes Pore Appearance: By controlling oil production and improving skin elasticity, this serum helps to visibly shrink the appearance of enlarged pores.
• Improves Skin Tone & Texture: Niacinamide helps to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – those pesky dark spots left after breakouts – leading to a more even and radiant skin tone.
• Strengthens Skin Barrier: A healthy skin barrier is crucial for protecting against environmental stressors. This serum supports barrier function, keeping skin hydrated and resilient.
• Controls Oil Production: Ideal for oily and combination skin types, this serum helps to balance oil production without over-drying the skin.

The Power of Niacinamide & Zinc

This serum’s effectiveness lies in the synergistic combination of two key ingredients:

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) 10%: A multi-tasking ingredient that offers a wide range of benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving skin barrier function, and minimizing the appearance of pores. The 10% concentration is a highly effective level for noticeable results.
• Zinc PCA 1%: Zinc plays a vital role in regulating sebum production and reducing inflammation. It also possesses antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from free radical damage. Zinc PCA is a well-tolerated form of zinc, making it suitable for most skin types.

The formula is also alcohol-free, oil-free, silicone-free, nut-free, vegan, and cruelty-free, making it a conscious choice for your skincare routine. It’s designed to be a straightforward, no-frills solution that delivers real results. The Ordinary prioritizes functional formulations at honest prices, and this serum is a perfect example of that philosophy.

How to Use

Apply a few drops to the entire face morning and evening before heavier creams. It’s recommended to introduce this serum gradually into your routine, starting with a few times a week, to allow your skin to adjust. Avoid using in conjunction with Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) at the same time, as this can cause irritation. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency of use. Patch testing is always recommended before incorporating a new product into your skincare regimen. Follow with your usual moisturizer. For optimal results, use consistently as part of a well-rounded skincare routine.
