description

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is indicated to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. A high 10% concentration of this vitamin alongside zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid has been shown to significantly reinforce skin barrier function, improve skin smoothness, and increase skin radiance over time. 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.

Aqua (Water), Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Zinc Pca, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, Xanthan Gum, Isoceteth-20, Ethoxydiglycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.

Using this as an all-over serum didn't do anything for me, not for pores and not for oiliness. BUT... when spot applying on acne, it's been my go-to for years, always helping to flatten and calm...

After trying other brands’ niacinamide/zinc solutions I had high expectations to this product. I have not been impressed unfortunately, as my skin is not happy with the gel form of this. I have...

The texture was the biggest let down for me, bit too sticky. I would only use it in the evening, as it would be hard applying other products over this serum in the morning. Also, couldn't see any...

Has no scent - good. Over time lessens the darkness of scars and dark spots, but it takes time, this is not overnight product. I love that it comes in glass bottle, such a nice not too heavy...

I used this product for a few years, applying it every other morning in rotation with TO's Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% formulation. While it didn't make a huge difference in my skin, it definitely...

I'm in the process of doing a split face test of the La Mer Treatment Lotion, side by side with The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% with Zinc, starting 2 weeks ago. Spoiler alert: it's FANTASTIC. Read on...

I like most of The Ordinary products I've used, but this made me break out. Won't be buying this again.

First impression, based on just a few uses, several weeks apart: this product is VERY drying for me, but IF I moisturize heavily to correct for that, it improves my skin's appearance with a subtle...
