The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% — Sérum visage 30 ml

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% face serum, 30 ml

A water-based serum carrying niacinamide at 10 per cent alongside 1 per cent zinc PCA. It is aimed at skin that turns shiny across the T-zone quickly and where pores read clearly on the nose and cheeks.

The texture is fluid and slightly tacky going on, then dries down within a few minutes. Treat it as a treatment step rather than a moisturiser: it belongs under your cream, not instead of it.

Key points

• 10% niacinamide with 1% zinc PCA
• Targets visible shine and enlarged-looking pores
• Watery texture that absorbs quickly
• Free from oils and silicones
• 30 ml bottle with a pipette
• Slots into an existing routine without fuss

Niacinamide at this strength does not suit everybody. Use it every other evening for a week before going daily, and stop if redness appears. It is also wise not to layer it in the same application as pure vitamin C.
