What Is The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum?

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum is a high-performance, targeted skincare treatment designed to address some of the most common skin concerns—excess oil, enlarged pores, blemishes, and uneven skin tone. Formulated with a potent concentration of 10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and 1% Zinc PCA, this serum works to balance the skin while improving overall clarity and texture.

Niacinamide is a multi-tasking active ingredient celebrated for its ability to strengthen the skin barrier, improve brightness, and smooth uneven skin tone. Zinc PCA complements this by regulating excess sebum production and helping to calm visible inflammation associated with breakouts. Together, these ingredients make this serum especially beneficial for acne-prone, oily, and combination skin types.

True to The Ordinary’s minimalist philosophy, this formula is free from alcohol, oils, silicones, fragrance, and parabens, making it suitable for daily use and gentle enough for most skin types when used correctly.

The Power of Niacinamide + Zinc

Niacinamide is widely recognized as a skincare “superstar” ingredient thanks to its wide range of proven benefits. It helps visibly reduce enlarged pores, improve dullness, smooth uneven texture, and enhance skin resilience by reinforcing the natural moisture barrier. With consistent use, skin appears healthier, more balanced, and visibly refined.

Zinc PCA plays a crucial supporting role by helping to regulate oil production and reduce shine throughout the day. It also has soothing properties that help calm redness and irritation linked to acne and congestion. This powerful combination makes the serum an excellent choice for individuals struggling with frequent breakouts, excess oil, or textured skin.

With regular, consistent use, users can expect clearer pores, fewer blemishes, and a more even, radiant complexion.

Expected Results With Continued Use

• Balanced oil production and reduced shine

• Fewer breakouts and congestion
