In this video, you will learn how to use The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%.
Targets: Regulates sebum, minimizes pores
Format: Water-based serum
Regimen Step: Apply before oils/creams
Conflicts: Avoid use with pure Vitamin C (ELAA/LAA)
Time of Use: AM and PM
The general rule of thumb for the order of application is:
Water-based serums
Anhydrous solutions and oil formulations
Creams and suspensions
Important:
If you have more than one water-based serum, apply them based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). It’s also recommended to apply eye serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
A maximum of two serum formulations is recommended in a single regimen.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed. My face is finally calm and relatively clear of rosacea, so I want to continue improving my face with this product. I've heard that my face might get worse before it gets better with Niacinamide. I put it once on my face but washed it off immediately as I got scared bc of the tingly sensation. My routine is very simple, 2 max 3 products. I'll give it a try again following these simple steps 🙏🏼

Hey :) Thank you so much and thanks for joining!🥰 It's best to choose the products based on your skin concerns, and not what's currently trending since it may not be for you and can make your skin worse instead of improving it. There is also a difference between skincare products that can help you to improve specific concerns and skincare products that can everyone use to smell good or have a nice glow. I have tones of makeup and skincare videos on my channel so feel free to go through them :) You may want to go through my 'The Ordinary' playlist if you want to know more about their products :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7aYhKmGp5zXYHU.html Hope this helps :)

@@spookyhamilton2732 I used to have a very sensitive skin and it would start flaking every time I cleanse my face. Well it turns out that I actually had dehydrated skin since I didn't use any moisturizer and my cleanser was quite harsh. That was a good few years ago though. I've used a moisturizer ever since and now my skin is more resilient. It rarely gets dry now. I suggest you start using a moisturizer for a few weeks to really hydrate your face. Also use gentle cleansers to make sure you're not drying your skin further. As for hydrating products from the ordinary I'd suggest the hyaluronic acid serum.

hi! first, thank you so much for making these videos! i really wanted the ordinary products, but it was really hard for me to figure out which ones to use and what order. it was really overwhelming, but these videos helped a lot, so thank you!! and also i know lots of people comment this, so it must be very hard to reply to everyone and it must get very tiring doing the same things, so i apologize, but i was just wondering which order to put the Niaciamide and hyaluronic acid in. I believe you can use both at times the same time, and I know you’re supposed to do the most necessary one first (for me it would be Niaciamide as I am currently struggling with acne) but I also know the hyaluronic acid can suck out the water in your face or something like that so you’re supposed to dampen your face before you put it on. I dont know which one to put on first because if I dampen my skin after the Niaciamide I dont want to rub it off. I also got the salicylic mask, and I was wondering how many times I can apply it and if there are any products I cant use when I use it. I also heard it can be used as a spot treatment, so how would that work? Sorry if these are stupid questions haha. Thank you so much again.

Hi Melissa! I am a teen who is struggling with acne on forehead, cheeks and some on chin :) Is it okay for me to use the inkey list salicylic acid cleanser , the ordinary niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% , the inkey list moisturizer multi-biotic moisturizer and finally la roche posay SPF 50 sunscreen? Haha sorry the products are from various brands!

Hey Melissa! Question: should we use hyaluronic acid from the ordinary first and then apply niacinamide serum from the ordinary or the other way around? I have seen articles stating that hyaluronic acid comes first and then the niacinamide. Love your videos btw ❤️ very informative and helpful! My skin thanks you! ❤

Hey! :) They can be applied in either order as both are water-based serums with a similar texture :)

Hello! I used to use a benzoyl peroxide cleanser and it cleared up my acne. However once I stopped it came back, not as bad as before but it’s back. Recently I realized I have pretty bad breakouts so I’m going to start using it again. I want to make my routine Morning- peach and lily Hydrating gel cleanser Niacinamide + zinc And moisturizer with spf Night time - Benzoyl peroxide Niacinamide + zinc Moisturizer Twice a week I incorporate the ordinary peeling solution or does that mess with the Niacinamide?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Жыл бұрын

It looks like a good routine. You can technically use The Ordinary Niacinamide after the peeling solution, but in my experience, it's best to only use hydration after the peel to prevent skin irritation.

Thank you for doing this video!! I just bought three ordinary products: the Niacinimde, Lactic acid 5% and the Caffeine solution. I have found them really good so far😍 just a question: I have been using the Lactic Acid 5% every second day and I use it before the Niacinimde- is this correct? I assumed it was because Lactic acid is an exfoliater which comes after cleanser. So that is what i do but if this is wrong please let me know🥰

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 4 жыл бұрын

Hmm, you got me 😆 The general rule of thumb for order of application is: 1. Water-based serums 2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations 3. Creams & suspensions Important: If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first) And a maximum of three serum formulations in a single regimen It looks like your order is correct. But it's a direct acid. So does it come first 🤔 I am not sure I have to do more research!

I don’t know why I don’t search about how to use it before and after this video i think i realized my mistake. I think i put it too much on my face and then didn’t wait long enough for it to absorb and i put moisturiser right after. 6 months later I found this video and thank god the product didn’t expired yet. It’s now day two of using this and I’m not wearing moisturiser right after. No oily feel. I am grateful for this video. Thank you!!!

Do you think it’s okay to use the leave in exfoliant Lotion P50 (from Biologique Recherche) and after that this serum (Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%)? I can’t figure out if they will interact in a bad way :(

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial this is the ingredients list: Water (Aqua), Gluconolactone, Lactic Acid, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Citric Acid, Ethoxydiglycol, Magnesium Chloride, Malic Acid, Vinegar (Acetum), Phytic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Cochlearia Armoracia (Horseradish) Root Extract, Arctium Lappa Root (Burdock Root) Extract, Rumex Acetosa Leaf Extract, Myrtus Communis Extract, Commiphora Myrrha Resin Extract, Allium Cepa (Onion) Bulb Extract, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Flower/Leaf Oil, Sulfur, Sorbitol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate. It does contain Niacinamide but no % is mentioned. There’s info on the internet that the total % of AHAs present in it is around 12%. And yes, I would say that it is harsh. Perhaps it’s safer to not use both in the same regimen. :(

Niacinamide = Water Based Serum Caffeine Solution = Water Based Serum If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
