If you’re tired of greeting a greasy mirror every morning, this serum could be the game‑changer you’ve been waiting for. It’s a silky, lightweight gel that you can slip into your routine without feeling heavy or sticky—just a few drops after cleansing and before moisturizing.
Niacinamide, at 10%, is clinically proven to reduce sebum production and refine pores. The added 1% zinc works as a natural anti‑inflammatory agent, helping to calm redness and suppress the growth of acne‑causing bacteria.
Start with 2–3 drops – a little goes a long way. Apply over cleansed skin, then let it absorb for a minute before layering your moisturizer. If you’re using sunscreen, put the serum in first and wait a few minutes before applying SPF.
You can snag a 30 ml bottle for around ₹400 on Nykaa, Amazon India, or at most drugstores. The first few days might feel slightly drying, but that’s normal and subsides as your skin adapts. Give it a month, and you’ll notice a clearer, less shiny complexion.
Give the Ordinary a shot and watch your skin breathe a little easier. Next up, try pairing it with a hydrating sheet mask to boost the glow while keeping oil in check.
