In this video I’m sharing my honest 4-week review of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, and how it worked for my acne, post-acne marks, tiny bumps, and overall skin texture. Before I even get into results, I break down what niacinamide is (vitamin B3) and why it matters for skin—especially how it supports the skin barrier, helps with hydration, and has anti-inflammatory benefits that can calm redness. I also talk about oil control, because for my oily-combo skin that’s a huge reason my pores look bigger and why I get tiny bumps around my T-zone and mouth area. I also share the biggest mistake I made when I first tried niacinamide: I rubbed it in, and it actually gave me more acne. What changed everything for me was application—3–4 drops, spread gently, then pat it in (no friction). Over these 4 weeks, I noticed my skin looked smoother, my tiny bumps were more controlled (plus it’s fungal-acne safe), and my face was less oily when I woke up—especially in my T-zone. It also helped calm down redness when I had active pimples, and it faded newer post-acne marks (not deep, old scars).
