The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum 30ml — Pore Minimising, Sebum Control, Blemish Reduction
The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum (30ml) is one of the brand's most widely used formulas. It combines a high 10% concentration of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) with 1% Zinc Salt of Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid — two ingredients well-studied for their complementary roles in regulating sebum, reducing pore appearance, and improving skin clarity over time. No fragrance, no fillers, no hype.

Key Ingredients
- Niacinamide 10% (Vitamin B3): Regulates sebum production, minimises the appearance of enlarged pores, reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and improves skin texture over consistent use.
- Zinc Salt of Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (Zinc PCA) 1%: An anti-inflammatory zinc complex that complements niacinamide's sebum-regulating effect and helps reduce redness associated with acne-prone skin.
How to Use
- Apply a few drops to thoroughly cleansed skin, morning and evening.
- Gently massage into face and neck — do not rub aggressively.
- Allow to absorb for 1–2 minutes before applying moisturiser.
- In the morning, always follow with SPF50+ sunscreen.
- Consistent daily use for 8–12 weeks delivers the most measurable improvement in pore appearance and sebum control.
Who Is This Serum For?
This serum is best suited to those with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin dealing with enlarged pores, excess sebum, active blemishes, or post-acne marks. It is not a spot treatment — it works systemically across the face over time. Consistent twice-daily use is key to results. For very dry or dehydrated skin types, pair it with a hydrating moisturiser on top.

FAQs
What does Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% actually do?
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) at 10% regulates sebum, minimises pores, fades post-acne hyperpigmentation, and improves overall skin texture. Zinc PCA 1% adds anti-inflammatory support and reinforces the sebum-control effect.
Is 10% niacinamide too high for sensitive skin?
For most people, 10% niacinamide is well-tolerated. However, if you experience flushing or irritation, this is typically due to an interaction with Vitamin C serums used at the same time — not the niacinamide itself. Avoid layering directly with L-Ascorbic Acid.
Can I use this with retinol or acids?
Yes. Niacinamide pairs well with most actives. It does not need to be avoided with retinol or AHAs/BHAs. Apply niacinamide before heavier treatments in your routine.
How long before I see results?
Sebum control and reduced shine are often noticed within 2–4 weeks. Pore size improvement and fading of post-acne marks typically take 8–12 weeks of consistent twice-daily use.
Can I use this on body acne (chest, back)?
Yes. The serum can be applied to body acne-prone areas as well, though a dedicated body formulation may be more economical for large surface areas.
