Read the threads ↓Pros
- 10% niacinamide + 1% zinc combo helps reduce sebum and visibly fades acne scars over consistent use
- Generally affordable and accessible, popular for targeted pore appearance and redness reduction
- Routine staples include applying to clean, damp skin and layering with hydrating serums for better tolerance
Cons
- 10% concentration often too strong for dry, sensitive, or rosacea-prone skin causing redness and flushing
- Can induce breakouts including cystic and closed comedones, especially when layered with other actives or used excessively
- Texture tends to pill under makeup and may sting or irritate if not patch tested or gradually introduced
