The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%60ml

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (60ml High-Strength Blemish Formula)

Product Overview

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a global cult-favorite, high-strength vitamin and mineral formula engineered specifically to target active blemishes, visibly minimize enlarged pores, and regulate chronic daytime oiliness. This jumbo 60ml bottle offers double the volume of the standard size, providing a long-lasting supply of a daily skincare staple.

By combining an intensive 10% concentration of highly purified Niacinamide with a stabilizing 1% element of Zinc PCA, this water-based serum acts as an unshakeable clarifying treatment. It re-balances overactive sebum production, reinforces the skin’s structural barrier, and smooths out skin textures without relying on harsh, drying acne medications.

Key Benefits

• Advanced Sebum & Oil Control: Systematically curbs overactive sebaceous glands, drastically reducing daytime grease and keeping the T-zone beautifully satin-matte.

• Visibly Tightens & Refines Pores: Clears out the congestion that stretches pore linings, making enlarged pores appear significantly smaller and more refined.

• Fades Post-Blemish Dark Marks: Accelerates the fading of stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), dark spots, and uneven skin tones left behind by old breakouts.

• Reinforces the Moisture Barrier: Stimulates the skin’s natural production of ceramides, strengthening the outer lipid barrier to prevent moisture loss and environmental irritation.

Key Ingredients & How They Work

• 10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A gold-standard, non-irritating skin restorer. It excels at blocking pigment transfer to prevent dark spots, reduces localized blemish redness, and smooths out rough skin textures.

• 1% Zinc PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid): A powerful mineral compound that works in perfect harmony with Niacinamide. It targets acne-causing bacteria, actively suppresses excess sebum, and delivers deep anti-inflammatory benefits to calm angry, swollen blemishes.

• Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum: A plant-derived polysaccharide that provides lightweight, soothing hydration to ensure the high-strength active ingredients never strip or dry out the skin canvas.

Texture, Weight & Scent

• Consistency: A beautifully clear, lightweight, and slightly viscous water-based fluid that glides across the skin smoothly.

• Finish: Sinks into the skin within seconds, drying down to a completely weightless, clean, and invisible matte finish. It creates zero grease and zero heavy film, making it a perfect base underneath daily makeup or sunscreens.

  🧼 Note on Application: If applied too heavily or rubbed too vigorously, Niacinamide can occasionally display a temporary, harmless “foaming” or white soapy effect on the face. Simply pat the serum gently into the skin to avoid this.

• Scent: 100% fragrance-free and artificial color-free, making it exceptionally safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin types.

How to Use for Best Results

1. When: Ideal for use in both your Morning (AM) and Night (PM) skincare routines.

2. Application Order: Apply immediately after cleansing and toning, right before your heavier creams, emulsions, or facial oils (Rule of thumb: apply thin water-based serums first).

3. Dispense: Dispense 2 to 3 drops of the serum directly onto your fingertips or face using the dropper pipette.

4. Massage: Gently pat and press the fluid into your face, neck, and chest area, focusing heavily on congestion-prone zones like the forehead, nose, and chin. Let it absorb completely before moving to your next step.

⚠️ Crucial Routine Conflicts

To ensure maximum ingredient stability and protect your skin barrier, do not combine this product in the same routine session with:

• Pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid or Ethylated Ascorbic Acid): Niacinamide can affect the structural integrity of pure Vitamin C, rendering both ingredients less effective. If you use both, apply your Vitamin C in the morning and save your Niacinamide for your nighttime routine (or vice versa). Note: It can be safely paired with stable Vitamin C derivatives like Ascorbyl Glucoside.
