When it comes to skincare, each of us have varied skin types, tones, textures, issues and goals. Where some prefer a multi-step routine, some swear by a cleanser-toner-moisturiser regime. Some wax eloquent about a botanically-forward philosophy; some have a vigilant eye for science-backed glow-givers. Regardless of where on the spectrum you fall, the holy grail for a soft, supple visage is the right ingredient in your favourite formulations. But whittling down the ever-expanding ingredient jargon and plethora of products can be a confusing endeavour. And then, of course, different skin concerns warrant different ingredients. While you might be acquainted with the lauded classics, there are some strange-yet-superb additives gaining traction, and with good reason.
Whether your skin has areas of uneven pigmentation or your battling with breakout, The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml will address multiple skin concerns and it s on sale.

You might have heard of niacinamide, one of the “it” beauty ingredients today. Although it has become popular in recent times, niacinamide is not new in skincare.
A form of vitamin B3 (niacin), niacinamide has been a fixture in commercial cosmetic formulations for decades. You might also find it listed as nicotinamide.
The Science behind It
In skincare, niacinamide is said to help in helping manage acne, rosacea, pigmentation issues, and wrinkling.
Scientists say that niacinamide is effective due to it being a precursor to two important biochemical co-factors that are central to the chemical reactions that the cells need to repair damage, propagate, and function normally.
