The Ordinary Niacinamide

Niacinamide Reviews

Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

  • Targets: Regulates sebum, minimizes pores
  • Available in 30ml & 60ml
  • You can use niacinamide AM & PM
  • Apply directly after cleansing or after other water-based products but before oils/creams.
  • There is also a Niacinamide Powder, but it has a lot more conflicts than The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum. If you are new to skincare, I would recommend using the serum.

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid

All About Oily Skin

About Oily Skin & Oily Skin Regimens

How do I know if my skin is oily?

You may already have a clear idea of your own skin type, but if not, here is a way to help you find out. After cleansing with your usual cleanser, don’t apply any products but leave the skin to rest for two hours, then look at it in the mirror. If after 2 hours you have visible oil and shininess, you are oily.

Important notes– Daily sun protection is very important regardless of skin type.

How to treat oily skin

If you have oily skin, you are more likely to suffer from acne and blocked pores. You might find that makeup doesn’t last very long, and you look pretty shiny all the time. Dehydration can worsen oiliness.
