Description
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a high-strength serum formulated to target various skin concerns, including reducing the appearance of blemishes, balancing oil production, and improving overall skin texture. It combines niacinamide (vitamin B3) and zinc PCA (zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid) to address these issues effectively.
Key Ingredients:
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Niacinamide is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous benefits for the skin. It helps to regulate oil production, reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, improve uneven skin tone, and strengthen the skin barrier. Additionally, niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for calming redness and soothing irritated skin.
- Zinc PCA: Zinc is known for its sebum-regulating properties, making it beneficial for controlling excess oil production and preventing acne breakouts. Zinc PCA helps to balance the skin’s natural oil levels without overly drying or stripping the skin.
How to Use:
- Cleanse Your Face: Start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove any dirt, oil, or impurities from the skin’s surface. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
- Apply the Serum: Dispense a few drops of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% onto your fingertips. Gently massage the serum onto your face and neck using upward motions. Be cautious and avoid the delicate eye area.
- Allow Absorption: Let the serum absorb into your skin for a few minutes before applying any additional skincare products. Niacinamide serums are typically lightweight and absorb quickly.
- Follow with Moisturizer: After the serum has been absorbed, follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration and further nourish the skin. This step is crucial, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.
- Sun Protection: While niacinamide itself doesn’t increase sun sensitivity, it’s still essential to apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the daytime to protect your skin from UV damage and maintain its health and appearance.
