The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum is your go‑to for a clear, radiant complexion without splurging on cult‑status creams. It blends a potent 10% niacinamide punch with 1% zinc, curbing excess oil and calming redness in a single step.
But the beauty budget doesn’t stop at niacinamide. Pair it with a simple, fragrance‑free moisturizer like Cetaphil’s Daily Hydrating Lotion; its creamy texture soaks in by the second tick. The duo covers moisturising, anti‑acne, and anti‑aging in one pocket‑friendly routine.
And don’t forget sunscreen—your skin’s best friend and most overlooked protector. A 30 SPF, water‑resistant spray from Neutrogena or even the affordable Dove Sun Protectant keeps you safe while you focus on work, play, or that long‑haul flight.
So how do you use the serum? After your cleanser, apply 2–3 drops to your face and neck, patting gently until absorbed. Follow up with the moisturizer, then the sunscreen if it’s daytime. The serum’s fast‑absorbing gel feels like a whisper on skin, not a heavy cream.
