Ordinary Niacinamide Serum

1. **Usage**:
– Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat dry.
– Apply a few drops of Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% to your fingertips.
– Gently massage the serum into your skin, focusing on areas prone to congestion or excess oiliness. These may include the forehead, nose, and chin (commonly referred to as the T-zone).
– Allow the serum to absorb fully into the skin before applying other skincare products.
– It’s recommended to use this serum both in the morning and evening for best results.
– Follow up with a moisturizer and sunscreen during the day.

2. **Benefits**:
– **Regulates Sebum Production**: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps regulate sebum (oil) production in the skin, making it beneficial for individuals with oily or combination skin types. By controlling oil production, it can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and reduce excess shine.
– **Improves Skin Texture**: Regular use of niacinamide can lead to smoother and more even-textured skin by promoting natural exfoliation and renewal processes.
– **Reduces Hyperpigmentation**: Niacinamide is known for its skin-brightening properties. It can help fade dark spots, acne scars, and other forms of hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even complexion.
– **Anti-Inflammatory**: Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help calm redness and irritation associated with acne, rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
– **Antioxidant Protection**: Niacinamide acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental stressors such as pollution and UV radiation.
– **Balances Skin**: Zinc, present in this formulation, further helps to balance oil production and supports overall skin health.
– **Non-Comedogenic**: This serum is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores, making it suitable for acne-prone skin.

As with any skincare product, it’s advisable to perform a patch test before using Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies. If you experience any irritation or adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Additionally, incorporating sunscreen into your daily skincare routine is crucial, especially when using products containing active ingredients like niacinamide.
