Introduction
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum is one of the brand’s most iconic formulas, designed to visibly balance sebum, minimize the look of pores, and improve overall clarity. This lightweight, water-based serum combines high-strength niacinamide (vitamin B3) with zinc PCA to calm congestion and support a clearer, smoother complexion—without drying the skin.
