If you’re on the hunt for a serum that does it all—minimizes pores, controls oil, reduces blemishes, reduces breakouts, and brightens your skin, —then get ready to meet your match. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is the ultimate multi-tasking skincare superstar. This affordable yet effective formula has taken the beauty world by storm, and for good reason.

What Makes It Special?

Let’s break down why this serum deserves a spot on your vanity:
1. High-Strength Niacinamide (10%)
Niacinamide is the MVP here—a form of Vitamin B3 that offers incredible skin benefits. It:
• Balances oil production, making it a dream for oily and combination skin.
• Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, leaving skin smooth and refined.
• Fades dark spots and acne scars over time for a brighter complexion.
• Strengthens your skin barrier, keeping it healthy and resilient.
Basically, it’s like hitting the reset button for your skin.
2. Zinc (1%) for Blemish Control
Zinc PCA is the unsung hero in this formula. It:
• Helps calm inflammation, reducing redness and irritation.
• Targets blemishes by controlling sebum production and fighting bacteria.
• Works synergistically with niacinamide to prevent breakouts and keep skin clear.
Whether you’re battling acne or just dealing with occasional flare-ups, this duo is here to save the day.
3. Lightweight, No-Fuss Formula
Unlike other serums that can feel sticky or heavy, this one absorbs quickly and layers beautifully under other products. It’s perfect for daily use and works well in both morning and evening routines.

How to Use It Like a Pro

To get the best results, apply this serum after cleansing and before moisturizing. A few drops go a long way! Here’s a simple routine:
1. Cleanse your skin thoroughly.
2. Apply a toner (optional but helpful for hydration).
3. Use 2-3 drops of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, patting it gently into your skin.
4. Follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning.
Pro Tip: If you’re new to niacinamide, start slow (three times a week) to let your skin adjust. And avoid pairing it with pure Vitamin C products in the same routine to prevent potential interactions.

Who Is It For?

This serum is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for:
Oily/Combination Skin: Controls shine and minimizes pores.
Acne-Prone Skin: Reduces breakouts and calms inflammation.
Uneven Skin Tone: Fades post-acne marks and brightens overall complexion.
Sensitive Skin: Gentle enough for most, as long as you patch test first.

My Experience (And Why You’ll Love It Too)

Before I discovered The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, my forehead was my biggest skincare headache. It seemed like no matter what I tried, I couldn’t stop the breakouts. My T-zone was oily, my pores were clogged, and those persistent bumps just wouldn’t budge.
