The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum — Price in Nepal & Buying Guide With cash on delivery nationwide. This water-based, 11-ingredient serum pairs 10% Niacinamide with 1% Zinc PCA to control oil, smooth texture, and calm post-blemish marks in a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula. What's Inside 10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A universal serum for blemish-prone skin that smooths, brightens, and supports, targeting dullness, uneven texture, and excess oil. It addresses enlarged pores, helps regulate excess sebum, and supports overall skin radiance. 1% Zinc PCA: Helps normalize sebum production and limit acne-causing bacteria, while its PCA half is a natural moisturizing factor that helps with hydration. A manufacturer in-vivo test shows Zinc PCA reduces sebum production significantly after 28 days of use. Formula: Only 11 ingredients — Aqua, Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Zinc PCA, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, Xanthan Gum, Isoceteth-20, Ethoxydiglycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin — free of oils, silicones, and added fragrance. Note: This is not a treatment for acne — it reduces congestion and post-blemish appearance rather than treating active breakouts directly. Niacinamide + Zinc vs. Salicylic Acid 2% Choose Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for daily oil control, barrier support, and fading post-acne redness without exfoliation. Choose Salicylic Acid 2% instead if your priority is unclogging pores and treating active blackheads, since it exfoliates inside the pore rather than regulating surface oil. Many users layer both — Salicylic Acid at night, Niacinamide in the morning — rather than choosing one over the other. How to Use Apply 2 drops to the entire face after cleansing, before heavier creams Pat in — don't rub — to avoid pilling or a soapy white residue Use morning and evening for consistent oil and texture control If pilling occurs, you're using too much — 2 drops is the correct dose for a full face On mixing with Vitamin C: The Ordinary's own guidance is to apply topical Vitamin C at alternate times from this formula — ideally Vitamin C in the PM and this formula in the AM — since Niacinamide can affect the integrity of pure-form Vitamin C. Realistic Timeline Dermatology guidance suggests it takes at least 6 weeks, and sometimes up to 3 months, to see maximum results from daily use of Niacinamide. Expect smoother texture within the first 2-4 weeks and reduced pore appearance and post-acne redness over 6-12 weeks with consistent daily use. FAQ Can I use this with Vitamin C? The Ordinary recommends alternating — Vitamin C at night, this serum in the morning — though broader research suggests combined use is generally safe in well-formulated products. Start alternated if you have sensitive skin. Is this an acne treatment? No. It reduces oiliness, congestion, and post-blemish redness, but does not treat active acne directly. Pair with a dedicated treatment like Salicylic Acid for active breakouts. Why is my serum pilling? You're using too much. Two drops covers the entire face — pat in gently rather than rubbing.
