This assessment uses published product information; we have not tested this product.
Formula and format
The Ordinary describes Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% as a water-based serum. Its key ingredients are niacinamide and zinc PCA, and the maker lists 30 ml and 60 ml sizes. The formula is described as oil-free, alcohol-free and silicone-free.
Advantages and limitations
- Advantages: clearly stated active concentrations; two bottle sizes; a water-based option for a routine that already includes moisturizer.
- Limitations: another separate routine step; irritation remains possible, so a high concentration is not automatically a reason to choose it.
Who does it suit?
The maker positions it for visible shine, uneven texture and dullness. Our assessment is that it is most useful to compare when one of those is your specific cosmetic priority, rather than adding it without a clear purpose.
Using it and checking compatibility
The directions specify a few drops in the morning and evening on unbroken skin. The brand advises patch testing, stopping if irritation occurs, and avoiding combinations with its direct or indirect vitamin C products. Read the current package instructions alongside the rest of your routine.
