The Ordinary Shine Control Squad Bundle With FREE Cleansing Pads & Cuffs

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum offers several benefits:

• Reduces Blemishes and Congestion: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps diminish the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion.

• Balances Sebum Production: The inclusion of Zinc PCA aids in regulating sebum activity, promoting a balanced complexion.

• Enhances Skin Texture: Regular use can lead to smoother skin texture and a more refined appearance.

• Supports Skin Barrier Function: Niacinamide strengthens the skin's lipid barrier, improving moisture retention and resilience against environmental aggressors.

• Brightens Skin Tone: It helps even out skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark spots.

To effectively use this serum:

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.

2. Apply Serum: Dispense a few drops of the serum onto your fingertips and gently press it onto your face, focusing on areas of concern.

3. Follow with Moisturizer: Once the serum has absorbed, apply your regular moisturizer.

4. Sun Protection: In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

It's recommended to use the serum twice daily, in the morning and evening, for optimal results.

Yes, this serum can be combined with various active ingredients. However, it's advisable to avoid using it simultaneously with products containing pure Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to prevent potential interactions. If you wish to use both, consider applying them at different times of the day—niacinamide in the morning and Vitamin C in the evening.

This serum is formulated to be suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin. Its lightweight, water-based formula ensures it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. However, as with any skincare product, it's recommended to perform a patch test before full application to ensure compatibility with your skin.

With consistent use, many users report:

• Reduced Oiliness: A noticeable decrease in excess oil production, leading to a less shiny complexion.

• Improved Skin Texture: Smoother skin with reduced appearance of pores.

• Diminished Blemishes: Fewer breakouts and a clearer complexion.

Visible improvements can often be seen within a few weeks of regular use. However, individual results may vary based on skin type and specific concerns.
