How to Use The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml Safely and Correctly

For best results and to ensure safe usage of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml in South Africa's diverse climate, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Patch Test (Highly Recommended): Before incorporating into your routine, apply a small amount on a discreet area of skin (like your inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions. This is especially important for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
2. Cleanse Your Skin: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities. Pat your skin dry.
3. Apply a Few Drops: Dispense a few drops of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml serum onto your fingertips.
4. Gently Massage: Apply the serum to your entire face, focusing on areas prone to breakouts or oiliness. Avoid direct contact with eyes.

6. Frequency: Use morning and night for optimal results. If you have very sensitive skin, start with once a day and gradually increase frequency as tolerated.

Precautions and Safety Measures:

• Avoid Combining with Vitamin C: Do not use Niacinamide and Vitamin C products in the same routine, especially in the same application. If you use both, apply Vitamin C in the morning and Niacinamide at night.
• Sun Sensitivity: While Niacinamide itself is not known to increase sun sensitivity, it's always crucial to use sunscreen daily, especially in South Africa where sun exposure is intense.
• Irritation: If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

• Itching or Irritation: If you experience persistent itching, burning, or significant irritation, stop using the product and consult a skincare professional.

What to Do If Side Effects Occur:

• Reduce Frequency: Try using the serum less frequently (e.g., once a day or every other day).

• Oily Skin & Shine: The combination of Niacinamide and Zinc PCA is particularly effective in regulating sebum production. This is crucial in South Africa, where warmer temperatures can exacerbate oiliness and lead to unwanted shine, especially during humid summers.

Expert Tips for Maximizing Your Results with Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

To get the most out of your The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml serum in your South African skincare routine, consider these expert tips:

• Layering is Key: Apply on clean, slightly damp skin for better absorption. Follow with your moisturizer to lock in hydration, especially important in drier climates or during winter months in South Africa.
• Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable: Always apply sunscreen during the day. While Niacinamide doesn't increase sun sensitivity, protecting your skin from UV damage is crucial for overall skin health and preventing hyperpigmentation.
• Listen to Your Skin: While generally well-tolerated, start slowly, especially if you have sensitive skin. Begin with once a day and gradually increase to twice daily as your skin adjusts.
• Consistency is Crucial: Visible results take time. Be patient and consistent with your application to see the best improvements in your skin's clarity and texture.
• Targeted Application: Focus application on areas prone to oiliness and breakouts, such as the T-zone, forehead, and chin.

Debunking Common Myths About Niacinamide

Let's clear up some common misconceptions surrounding Niacinamide:

• Myth: Niacinamide causes purging. While some may experience initial breakouts, this is often not purging but rather the serum bringing underlying congestion to the surface faster. True purging is less common with Niacinamide.
• Myth: 10% Niacinamide is too strong. The Ordinary's 10% concentration is clinically proven to be effective and generally well-tolerated. However, as with any active ingredient, start slowly and monitor your skin's reaction.
• Myth: Niacinamide is only for oily skin. While excellent for oily and acne-prone skin, Niacinamide benefits all skin types by improving skin barrier function, reducing redness, and promoting hydration.
• Myth: You can't use Niacinamide with Vitamin C at all. While direct, simultaneous application is not recommended, you can absolutely use both ingredients in your routine. Apply Vitamin C in the morning and Niacinamide at night, or use them on alternate days.
