The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum is primarily intended for skin prone to blemishes, excess sebum, and enlarged pores. This product effectively targets mild to moderate acne, shine, and uneven skin tone. In my expert opinion, The Ordinary's formula is minimalist and highly concentrated in active ingredients, making it particularly suitable for combination to oily skin, but also beneficial for dull skin or skin prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major active ingredients stand out in this serum:
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) : This key ingredient regulates sebum production, reduces redness, and improves the skin barrier. It also promotes a radiant complexion and reduces the appearance of pores.
  • Zinc PCA Zinc has anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating properties. It limits the proliferation of bacteria involved in acne and soothes skin irritations.
  • Tamarind Seed Gum : This plant extract helps to moisturize and soften the skin, counteracting the drying potential of other active ingredients.
The synergy of these active ingredients gives the product recognized effectiveness in treating blemishes and regulating sebum, while preserving the skin's balance.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this serum in the morning and/or evening, on clean, dry skin, before your moisturizer. It is compatible with most moisturizing and soothing skincare products, but I do not recommend using it immediately after applying products with a high concentration of exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) or pure vitamin C, in order to avoid potential irritation.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This serum stands out for its excellent efficacy/tolerance ratio, its light, non-greasy texture, and its fragrance-free formula. A slight tingling sensation may occur on sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for blemish-prone skin, to be incorporated into a tailored, gradual skincare routine.

    nickel serum
    this serum is really great for making acne pimples disappear in three days i thoroughly recommend it

  3. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    top
    I really appreciated this serum, quality, price and effectiveness were all there.
    it helped me through my hormonal breakouts.
    I've already bought this serum several times

  4. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    serum for oily skin
    This serum works well for my oily skin.
    However, I expected to see real results on my imperfections.
    The price is very reasonable.

  5. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    All the time in my routine
    Very good value for money, always in my routine for its effects.
    However, I have the impression that it can «fluff up» when in contact with other products, and I wonder if 5% niacinamide might not be enough.

  6. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    niacinamine serum T Ordinary
    attractively priced serum that helps my skin stay pimple-free

  7. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    Normal to dry skin
    I find the product effective on my skin, especially when I have a few small imperfections. it regulates the inflammation of a pimple for example.
    the texture is also pleasant.

  8. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    good value for money
    A low-cost serum to limit imperfections and even out skin tone.

  9. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    Indispensable
    A real nugget for every acne breakout. Quickly corrects imperfections, tightens pores and evens out skin tone. Very economical, as only a few products are needed.

  10. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    Good niacinamide serum
    Good value for money. I'd prefer a less gel-like texture, which would be a little less fluffy depending on the active ingredients used on top (G&G retinal 0.10% in particular), but as this is a night-time routine, it's fine.

  11. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    attention
    this product irritated the top of my cheekbones almost to the point of burning

  12. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    a must-have
    effective serum for blemishes, light texture

  13. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    Not very pleasant
    It lathers on application, which is surprising. I can't really use it, but there's Niacinamide in a lot of the other products in my skincare routine.

  14. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    I don't recommend it.

  18. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

  20. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    good for the price
    I didn't notice a wow effect at the end of the bottle, but it does the job.

  21. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    required
    serum needed to rebuild its protective barrier + 10 % of hyaluronic acid so effective with its zinc, very good product to put on in the morning for hydration, with a mist of thermal spring water or rose to boost hydration.

  26. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    bof
    It's not a great serum

  27. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    very well
    When I first started using it, I hated it, so I stopped for about 1 year, maybe a little longer. Then, as I now have a relatively fixed routine and always use the same products, I reintroduced it. And I'm glad I did! So, yes, it's not a miracle product for me, but combined with my copper peptide, it's just great! The copper peptide is number 1 for me, but with the niacinamide I've got the perfect combo! And even more so if I use retinol (1%) the night before. My skin thanks me!

  28. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    very well
    I find this serum very good. I've been using it for years, putting it aside from time to time to try other niacinamide products and then always coming back to it. The niacinamide dosage is quite high, so I understand that it's not for everyone. For me, it's a must-have.

  29. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    no significant results to date
    after a year of use I can't see the results...

    I felt positive effects, but they were irritating in return.

  36. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    notice
    this serum is perfect for oily skin.

  37. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    my skin loves it
    I have normal to oily skin, prone to imperfections. The Ordinary's niacinamide serum has become a beauty essential. Its price is very affordable and its effectiveness is amazing. My skin is brighter, my pores are tighter, imperfections are less visible and, above all, better moisturized. I always repurchase this product before the previous bottle runs out. It's a real "coup de coeur" and I recommend it to anyone looking for an effective and economical skincare product. At first, I noticed some redness when I first applied it, but this only lasted a minute and quickly disappeared. Today, my skin tolerates it perfectly. It sometimes foams slightly, but not systematically. I apply it morning and evening, or sometimes only in the morning if I use an acid in the evening. it's not a miracle product, but it's very important in my routine.

  38. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    simple and effective
    easy to use and effective. the bottle runs out quickly.

  39. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    It doesn't lint and the results are quickly visible. My best morning serum to date!

    perfect product
    I have combination to oily skin and have been using it every night for over 6 months. This product has reduced my spots, and I have far fewer than usual.

  55. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    perfect
    I've been using it for a few months now and I've noticed a very big difference in the way my pimples disappear. Personally, I avoid putting it on my nose in the morning because the serum opens up the pores and ejects the sebum.

  56. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    effective product
    It has significantly improved my combination, mature and atopic skin. I use it on the T-zone and the imperfections have greatly diminished, the skin is smoother. .
    I've had a lot of allergies for several years, and being able to test a product with few ingredients at a low price meant I was able to find what I was looking for without breaking the bank.

  65. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    Hello
    I know that hyaluronic acid should be applied to slightly damp skin and, above all, left to dry before applying the day cream to avoid fluffing.

  66. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    Good value for money
    Very affordable price. My skin took a few weeks to get used to it because it tends to dry out, but now it's much better. No irritation.

  68. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    For my sensitive skin, the concentration of 10% is too high and therefore irritating. I prefer to find it in a cream where the concentration is lower.

    I agree with you

  87. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    not for me.
    from the videos on YouTube beauty decoded, I was able to understand my needs, I bought it for dilated ports: but it's too foamy, difficult to penetrate, doesn't leave an oily finish or anything, but the texture doesn't suit me so I finish the bottle and change brands.
    thank you for all your advice.

  88. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    Good serum
    I love this serum, my skin absorbs it well, it doesn't sting or redden.

  89. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -

    Mixed
    Moderately convinced by this serum. I don't know exactly how to incorporate it into my routine. Not mattifying enough, no anti-blackhead scrubbing effect, no moisturizing agent. Just Niacinamide and zinc. I'd have to add other products. I'm halfway through the product, but I'm thinking of finishing it off on the décolleté and turning to a more «complete» product. 2nd time I've tested a product from this brand, 2nd time I've been disappointed.

  90. Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -
