The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum is a lightweight, water-based treatment designed to improve skin clarity, balance oil production, and refine texture. It delivers a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3), a well-studied ingredient known to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and strengthen the skin’s barrier, alongside zinc PCA, which supports sebum regulation and helps reduce shine. This formula absorbs quickly without feeling heavy, making it easy to layer with other products in your routine. It’s free from oils, silicones, and alcohol, and suits most skin types, especially oily or combination skin looking for clearer, smoother complexion.
