The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a water-soluble Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) serum formulation that targets the signs of congestion and blemishes. With the added Zinc, this important combination has been shown to significantly reinforce skin barrier function, improve skin smoothness, and increase skin radiance over time.

This effective high-strength formula can be applied to your entire face morning and evening before heavier creams.

Contraindications: If topical Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid and/or Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid) is used as part of skincare, it should be applied at alternate times with this formula (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and this formula in the AM). Otherwise, Niacinamide can affect integrity of the Vitamin C.

Notes: While Niacinamide and Zinc PCA reduce the look of blemishes and brighten skin tone, neither is a treatment for acne. For persistent acne-related conditions, we recommend speaking to your health care provider regarding treatment options. This formulation may be used alongside acne treatments if desired for added visible skin benefits.
