The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum packs a punch in a 30‑ml bottle that costs just ₹650, making it a staple for anyone wrestling with oily, congested skin.
Its texture is a silky gel that glides onto the skin in seconds, leaving a faint sheen that feels like a breath of fresh air after a long day at the office.
Apply a pea‑size amount after cleansing and toning, then follow with a lightweight moisturizer—no need for heavy creams that will clog pores. The serum’s 10% niacinamide works to reduce sebum production, while the zinc helps calm inflammation and shrink pores.
If you’re new to niacinamide, start with a 2‑3 day patch test to ensure no irritation. For best results, use it twice daily; most users notice smoother skin and fewer blackheads within a month.
You can snag it at popular drugstores like Nykaa, Amazon India, or the brand’s own website. For a quick, no‑frills purchase, the online price usually stays around ₹700, and you’ll get a 30‑day supply that’s hard to beat.
Give this serum a try, and if you love the lightweight feel, pair it with The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 for extra hydration. It’s a simple, effective routine that keeps oily skin under control and feels luxurious—no expensive spa trips required.
