The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a high-strength vitamin and mineral serum formulated to reduce skin blemishes and congestion. This water-based formula combines 10% niacinamide (vitamin B3) with 1% zinc PCA to improve skin barrier function, enhance smoothness, and increase radiance. This serum should not be used simultaneously with topical Vitamin C products - they should be applied at alternate times to maintain efficacy. While this formula helps with blemishes and skin tone, it is not specifically an acne treatment. The product can be applied morning and evening before heavier creams. A patch test is recommended before first use. The formula comes in a 30ml dropper bottle for precise application.
