Product Overview

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is formulated to improve the overall appearance of blemish-prone and oily skin. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps brighten the complexion, improve uneven texture, reinforce the skin barrier, and visibly reduce enlarged pores, while Zinc PCA helps regulate excess sebum for a more balanced complexion. The lightweight formula layers easily with most skincare products and is suitable for daily use.

How to Use

• Cleanse your face thoroughly.
• Apply a few drops to the entire face in the morning and evening.
• Gently massage until fully absorbed.
• Follow with moisturizer.
• Apply sunscreen during the daytime.

How Not to Use

• Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.
• Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
• Do not use in the same routine as pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid or Ethylated Ascorbic Acid), as The Ordinary recommends separating these products into different routines.
