The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum is a high-strength formula designed to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and balance sebum activity. Its active ingredient, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), works effectively to diminish skin congestion and brighten skin tone, while Zinc PCA helps control oil production and keep your skin clear. This lightweight, non-greasy serum is suitable for all skin types and is particularly beneficial for oily, acne-prone skin.

Niacinamide serum (Vitamin B3) is indicated to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. A high 10% concentration of this vitamin is supported in the formula by zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid to balance visible aspects of sebum activity.

The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum is a water-based formulation designed to enhance skin brightness, improve texture, and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. This serum contains a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3) and zinc PCA to target dullness, uneven texture, and excess oil. It also helps reduce the appearance of pores and instantly boosts skin radiance.

Contraindications: If topical Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid and Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid) is used as part of skincare, it should be applied at alternate times with this formula (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and this formula in the AM). Otherwise, Niacinamide can affect the integrity of the Vitamin C.

Notes: While Niacinamide and Zinc PCA reduce the look of blemishes and balance visible sebum activity, neither is an acne treatment. For persistent acne-related conditions, we recommend the use of Benzoyl Peroxide and/or Retinoic Acid. DECIEM doesn’t recommend ongoing use of BHA such as Salicylic Acid for persistent blemishes.

For temporary improvement in the appearance of blemishes, Salicylic Acid would help. This formulation can be used alongside acne treatments. Independent studies suggest Niacinamide is also an effective ingredient for brightening skin tone.
