Key Benefits

Ordinary Niacinamide benefits include reducing acnes and brightening dark spots. 

This light, fluid serum works to lessen breakouts and the look of current blemishes by combining two of the most effective blemish-battling substances in an ultra-high concentration mix: Niacinamide and Zinc PCA.

The appearance of skin congestion and pimples is said to be diminished by niacinamide (Vitamin B3). 

Particularly, it has been demonstrated that combining a high concentration of this vitamin—10%—with the zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid greatly improves skin smoothness, enhances skin radiance, and strengthens skin barrier function.

A customer praised this item on Amazon:

“This is the best product for your daily skin care. I had been using it for 1 year, my skin is smoother and finer, the size of my pores decreased and also it helped me a lot with my acne problems.”

In fact, a clinical study including 35 participants found that after 8 weeks of applying The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml, their skin became smoother.
