Struggling with congested pores, persistent mid-day oil slicks, and irregular skin texture is an everyday frustration for oily and blemish-prone complexions. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum is engineered specifically to balance visible sebum activity, calm surface congestion, and refine skin clarity without resorting to aggressive drying alcohols or stripping surfactants.
The formula delivers high-potency Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) at an optimal 10% concentration combined with 1% Zinc PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid). This synergistic pairing works at the follicular level: Niacinamide strengthens the epidermal barrier, brightens post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation marks, and smooths rough uneven micro-texture, while the zinc salt regulates daily sebum production and soothes redness.
Formulated as an ultra-lightweight, oil-free water-based serum, it glides across cleansed skin with zero heavy or sticky after-feel. Layered effortlessly beneath morning moisturizers and evening treatments, it visibly reduces oily shine, tightens enlarged pores, and leaves the complexion clear, matte, and remarkably soft throughout the day.
