Do not be afraid of the name, hon! The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum may have an all-too-scientific name that can intimidate our chemistry 101-stricken souls, but I can assure you of two things -- it is not ordinary, and more so is it scary. In fact, it may be your ticket to a shine-free complexion 😉
What does it contain?
Let us start with the obvious – niacinamide. Niacinamide is also known as vitamin B3. It makes up 10% of the serum and is known to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. It balances your skins’ natural sebum levels as well. While protecting your skin from environmental irritants, it also keeps moisture in as it improves the skin’s barrier function. It contributes to a smoother skin texture, reduces excess oils, and prevents any breakouts.
Zinc, making up 1% of the serum, encourages collagen production. It works on reducing the appearance of signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. It is anti-inflammatory and fights against free radicals.
Niacinamide and zinc combined, The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum helps address oiliness and pores.
How will it help my skin?
Since it is a high-strength vitamin and mineral blemish formula, it works well for people suffering from rosacea and skin redness. It also helps people prone to breakouts because of oily skin. The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum soothes skin irritation, evens out the skin tone, calms breakouts, reduces the appearance of spots, and rebalances oil levels. Now, that is impressive!
It is also easy to use. Just apply on the face morning and evening before applying heavier creams and you’re all set.
Now that you know what The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum contains and how it can help your skin, I know you are feeling anything but intimidated. I, for one, feel very excited to use it!
