The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum is one of the world’s most iconic, bestselling skincare serums — a high-strength, water-based formula that delivers a concentrated dose of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) at 10% alongside 1% Zinc PCA to target multiple common skin concerns in a single, lightweight step. Its fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture absorbs instantly without residue, making it suitable for all skin types and ideal for layering within any AM or PM skincare routine. Vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and free from parabens, mineral oil, sulfates, phthalates, and fragrance. Clinically proven to give smoother, more luminous skin after just 7 days of consistent use.

Apply a few drops to the entire face morning and evening after cleansing, before heavier creams, emulsions, or oils. As a water-based formula, it layers well at the beginning of a routine alongside other water-based serums such as Hyaluronic Acid. Do not use in the same routine as pure or ethylated Vitamin C, as Niacinamide can affect the integrity of direct Vitamin C formulations — use them at alternating times (e.g. Vitamin C in AM, Niacinamide in PM). Perform a patch test before first use.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3, 10%) is the hero active — a multi-tasking powerhouse that visibly minimises enlarged pores, evens skin tone, fades dark spots & post-blemish marks, reduces fine lines, strengthens the moisture barrier, and brightens overall skin radiance. At 10% concentration it delivers clinically validated results with a low risk of irritation, even for sensitive skin. Zinc PCA (1%) works synergistically with Niacinamide — the Zinc component regulates sebum production, limits blemish-causing bacteria (P. acnes), and controls visible shine, while L-PCA acts as a natural moisturising factor that hydrates the skin and enhances the bioavailability of Zinc for improved efficacy. Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum provides additional skin-smoothing & moisturising benefits, leaving a velvety, comfortable finish.
