Our Review
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a cult favorite for good reason. Niacinamide is a well-researched ingredient that supports the skin barrier, helps regulate sebum and improves the overall look of uneven texture and pores.
At this price point it is one of the best value serums you can buy. Start with a small amount and build up if your skin is sensitive.
