The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum has become the go‑to for anyone looking to calm breakouts and tighten pores. Just 2‑3 drops after cleansing, it spreads as a silky‑smooth film that instantly feels cool against the face.
Niacinamide works by boosting ceramides and strengthening the skin’s barrier, while zinc tones the oil glands. That combo means fewer blackheads and a more even tone—without the greasy feel of many other toners. At ₹999, it’s a steal compared to the ₹3,200 price tag of some high‑end options.
Pair the serum with The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, a lightweight gel that locks in 30% more moisture than a standard lotion. Apply 3‑4 drops to damp skin, let it sink in for a minute, then follow with a creamy moisturizer like the CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion for a balanced finish.
Use the routine in the morning and at night for best results. In the first week you’ll notice fewer shiny spots, and by the third week the skin feels firmer and the redness dulls. If you have sensitive skin, start with every other night to avoid irritation.
Both serums are available on Amazon India and at most pharmacy chains. The Ordinary’s small bottle sizes mean you’ll have a fresh supply for months, so you can keep the routine hassle‑free. Try it now and watch your complexion breathe easier.
