Targets
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a water-based serum made for excess oil, visible pores, uneven texture, dullness, and blemish-prone skin.
It combines a high concentration of niacinamide with zinc PCA to help balance visible sebum activity, improve the look of pores, support smoother texture, and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. The Ordinary positions this serum for excess oil, pore visibility, dullness, uneven texture, and improved radiance.
Made for this climate
Excellent fit for oily and combination skin in Bangladesh’s humid weather because it targets excess oil, shine, and visible pores without a heavy texture.

Realistic expectations
10% is a strong concentration. If your skin flushes or stings, start every other day. Some people do better on a lower percentage — that is a formulation mismatch, not a failure.
Good to know
Authenticity
Sourced through verified importers, never grey-market resellers.
Genuine The Ordinary bottles have a batch code and expiry on both the carton and the bottle label, and they must match. The formula is slightly viscous and clear to very faintly straw-coloured. A cloudy or strongly yellow liquid means it has degraded.

Questions, answered
Separate them by time of day. Vitamin C in the morning, this at night, avoids any interaction and any irritation.
Mild tingling on the first few uses can happen. Persistent stinging or flushing means 10% is too strong for you — stop and switch to a lower-strength option.
Pore size is largely genetic. What niacinamide does is reduce oil and congestion, which makes pores look considerably smaller.
