Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is The Ordinary's flagship oil-control serum, combining a high concentration of niacinamide with zinc PCA to work on shine, blemishes, and the look of pores. The short ingredient list keeps things simple, though the water-based texture can feel slightly tacky on very dry skin. It's best patted on before heavier moisturizers rather than layered directly under other acids.

Key Concentrations: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) 10%, Zinc PCA 1%
