In addition to its well-known role in targeting blemishes and regulating sebum, The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum also supports the skin’s natural barrier. I found that consistent use not only minimized redness but also enhanced my skin’s overall glow and hydration. For those wondering about layering, I recommend applying the serum after cleansing and before heavier moisturizers or oils. A pea-sized amount is enough, gently patted onto the face morning and night. Because niacinamide can be potent, introducing it gradually helped me avoid any irritation. From my experience, pairing this serum with sunscreen during the day is essential to protect the skin and boost results. I also noticed improvements in the smoothness of my skin, which aligns with the serum’s promise of high-strength vitamin and mineral support. If you’re new to The Ordinary or niacinamide products, start slowly and observe how your skin reacts. This formula proved to be a versatile addition to my routine, balancing oiliness without causing dryness, and making it ideal for a range of skin types who are aiming for clearer, resilient skin.
