Product Description

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a high-strength, water-based serum that reduces visible shine, refines the look of pores and evens out blemish-prone skin. It is one of the most affordable, well-proven serums for oily and combination skin, available here in 30ml and 60ml.

Quick Facts

  • 30ml or 60ml
  • 10% niacinamide (vitamin B3) + 1% zinc PCA
  • Water-based, lightweight serum
  • AM and PM use
  • Vegan and cruelty-free
  • Best for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin

Why It Works in the UAE

Humid coastal summers push oil production up, and shine builds fast under sunscreen. Niacinamide and zinc work together to keep the T-zone more balanced through the day, in a texture light enough to wear under SPF.

Key Benefits

  • Reduces visible oil and shine
  • Refines the look of enlarged pores
  • Smooths uneven texture and brightens dullness
  • Supports and strengthens the skin barrier
  • Calms the look of blemishes

Key Ingredients

  • Niacinamide (10%): brightens, refines pores and supports the moisture barrier
  • Zinc PCA (1%): balances the look of excess oil and visible shine

Who It Is For

Best for: oily, combination and acne-prone skin; enlarged-looking pores; dullness and uneven texture.

Not ideal for: very sensitive skin that reacts to high-strength niacinamide. Start with a few drops every other day and patch test first.

How to Use

Apply a few drops to the face morning and evening after cleansing, before heavier creams. Do not use in the same routine as a direct vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) serum. Finish with SPF in the morning.

Pairs Well With

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (or both together in The Ordinary Skin Support Set), CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50+.
