Enlarged pores, dullness, and excess oil often show up together, but most single-ingredient serums only address one of these at a time. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% takes on all three at once: a high 10% concentration of niacinamide works alongside zinc PCA to regulate sebum, refine the look of pores, and support a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

Key Benefits of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml:
  • High-strength formula that helps regulate excess sebum and minimize the appearance of pores
  • Non-comedogenic, clinically tested on blemish-prone skin over 8 weeks
  • Supports skin brightness and helps improve overall texture
  • Strengthens the skin's moisture barrier alongside its oil-balancing action
  • Water-based, lightweight formula suitable for daily use
Active Ingredients & How They Work:
  • Niacinamide (10%): a form of vitamin B3 that strengthens the skin barrier, regulates oil production, refines the look of pores, and supports a brighter, more even complexion.
  • Zinc PCA (1%): a combination of zinc and PCA (a natural moisturizing factor) that helps normalize sebum production while supporting hydration in the skin's upper layers.
Full Ingredients List (INCI):
Aqua/Water, Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Zinc PCA, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, Xanthan Gum, Isoceteth-20, Ethoxydiglycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin

Note: The exact formulation may vary slightly by production batch and region. Always check the ingredients list printed on your product packaging before use.
How to Use The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml:
  1. Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing, morning and evening.
  2. Follow with heavier treatments or moisturizer.
  3. Use niacinamide and vitamin C in separate routines (for example, niacinamide in the AM and vitamin C in the PM), as combining them may reduce effectiveness.
  4. If you have very sensitive skin, consider patch testing first, as the 10% concentration is on the stronger side.
Warnings & Precautions:
  • For external use only; avoid contact with eyes.
  • If eye contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • A patch test is recommended before first use if you have very reactive or sensitive skin.
  • Discontinue use if irritation, flaking, or dryness occurs.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
Best For:
Anyone with oily, blemish-prone skin dealing with enlarged pores, excess shine, and dullness, looking for a high-strength serum to balance oil and refine texture.
Skincare Routine Step:

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use it with vitamin C?
It's recommended to use niacinamide and vitamin C in separate routines, since combining them may decrease the effectiveness of both.

Is it non-comedogenic?
Yes, this has been confirmed in a clinical study of 35 subjects applying the product twice daily for 8 weeks.

How often should I use it?
Twice daily, in both your AM and PM routine, after cleansing and before heavier treatments or moisturizer.

Is 10% niacinamide too strong for sensitive skin?
Niacinamide is generally well-tolerated, but the 10% concentration here is on the higher side — a patch test is recommended if your skin is very reactive.
