Hey there, beauties! 😊
I’ve heard so much about The Ordinary for a while, but I finally gave it a try about a year ago—and I can’t stress enough how effective it is! Since then, The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% has become my go-to serum. 🌿
🔹 Price: ~$35 CAD
🔹 Size: 30ml
🔹 Made in: Canada
🔹 Where to Buy: I recommend purchasing it from trusted retailers to avoid counterfeit products. I got mine from Sephora! (Link below 👇)
The packaging is sleek and matte, and the serum comes in a sturdy, quality glass bottle with a dropper that ensures ease of application without excess wastage. It’s simple, effective, and hassle-free.


Key Ingredients:
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): This superstar ingredient regulates oil production, soothes inflammation, and brightens skin tone.
- Zinc: It helps to reduce redness and fight excess sebum production.

What I Love About It:
I have combination skin—oily in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks. Over the years, I’ve struggled with acne, post-acne scars, and enlarged pores. After using this serum for a month and a half, my skin feels smoother, pores have tightened, and the stubborn breakouts have started to fade. Plus, it doesn’t dry me out, which is a huge plus!
✨ How to Use:
Apply on cleansed skin, both AM and PM. I use half a dropper, and it’s more than enough. The serum absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel, and I didn’t experience any irritation or burning sensations, which is a major win!
After consistent use, my skin has a healthy glow, and the texture is more even. The post-acne spots are visibly lighter, and my skin feels deeply hydrated.
The Verdict?
I’m obsessed! This serum is a game-changer for those with acne-prone or oily skin. It helps with clearing up acne, brightening up dull skin, and controlling oil. I definitely recommend it and will repurchase again. 🌿💖
