Start by adding a pea‑size drop of the serum to your nightly routine—mix it into your moisturizer or apply it straight onto damp skin, letting the silky texture glide over your face.
The serum’s 10% niacinamide boosts collagen and lightens dark spots, while 1% zinc calms redness and keeps pores clear. Its almost weightless feel makes it a pleasure to use each night.
After cleansing, apply one to two drops to the forehead, cheeks, and chin, then gently pat around the eyes. Layering with a hydrating gel or cream locks in moisture, keeping the skin supple and preventing the slight tightening that can feel like mild dryness.
A 15‑ml bottle costs about $6.99 on The Ordinary’s website and will last a couple of months if you’re using it every other night. If you’re new to niacinamide, start with a patch test on your inner wrist to rule out irritation.
Grab the serum on Amazon or at local beauty retailers, and pair it with a simple antioxidant‑rich toner for a complete glow‑boosting routine. If your skin still feels a bit tight, swap the moisturizer for a richer cream in the cooler months.
