THE ORDINARY COMBO ( Niacinamide & Retinol 0.2% in Squalane )

The Ordinary Combo: Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and Retinol 0.2% in Squalane

Product Overview:

Introducing The Ordinary Combo, featuring Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and Retinol 0.2% in Squalane—a powerful duo designed to target a range of skin concerns, including acne, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and texture irregularities. This combination brings together two of the most effective ingredients in skincare, offering a comprehensive solution for those looking to improve their complexion and maintain a youthful, radiant appearance.

Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%:

• Blemish Control: Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, is well-known for its ability to reduce the appearance of blemishes and skin congestion. With a potent 10% concentration, this serum helps to minimize the look of enlarged pores, smooth skin texture, and regulate sebum production.
• Brightening Effect: Niacinamide works to even out skin tone by reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation, promoting a more balanced and radiant complexion.
• Oil Regulation: The addition of Zinc PCA helps control excess oil production, making it an excellent choice for those with oily or combination skin.
• Skin Barrier Support: Niacinamide strengthens the skin's natural barrier, improving moisture retention and enhancing the skin's resilience against environmental stressors.

Retinol 0.2% in Squalane:

• Anti-Aging Power: Retinol, a derivative of Vitamin A, is a gold-standard ingredient in skincare for its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. This formula, with a mild 0.2% concentration, is perfect for those new to retinol or with sensitive skin.
• Improves Skin Texture: Retinol promotes cell turnover, helping to smooth uneven skin texture and refine the skin’s surface, resulting in a softer, more even complexion.
• Reduces Dark Spots: Retinol helps to fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots, contributing to a brighter and more uniform skin tone.
• Hydrating Base: The inclusion of Squalane, a highly moisturizing oil, ensures that the retinol is gentle on the skin while providing hydration and minimizing potential irritation or dryness.

How to Use The Ordinary Combo:

1. Morning Routine:

   • Cleanse your face thoroughly.
   • Apply a few drops of Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% to your entire face, avoiding the eye area. Allow it to absorb fully before following up with a moisturizer and sunscreen.

2. Evening Routine:

   • Cleanse your face to remove any makeup or impurities.
   • Apply a few drops of Retinol 0.2% in Squalane to your face, focusing on areas where you want to target fine lines, uneven texture, or dark spots. Start with a small amount and gradually increase as your skin builds tolerance.
   • Follow with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration.

3. Important Tips:

   • Do not use Niacinamide and Retinol in the same routine, as this can cause irritation. Use Niacinamide in the morning and Retinol in the evening.
   • Introduce Retinol gradually into your routine, starting with 2-3 times a week and increasing frequency as your skin adjusts.
   • Always wear sunscreen during the day, especially when using Retinol, as it can increase skin sensitivity to UV rays.
