The Niacinamide + Zinc PCA Serum for Oily, Combination and Blemish-Prone Skin Pakistan's heat, humidity, dust and AC-dry offices can leave skin oily, congested and uneven, sometimes all in the same day. [Brand Name] Niacinamide 10% + Zinc PCA 1% Serum is a focused, lightweight formula that targets excess oil, visible pores and blemish-prone skin without a greasy or sticky finish.
What's Inside and What Each Ingredient Does
Niacinamide 10% (Vitamin B3): helps regulate oil, refine the look of pores, even out skin tone and support the skin barrier.
Zinc PCA 1%: helps balance sebum, calm the look of blemishes and reduce shine.
Visible Benefits with Regular Use
Less midday shine and a more matte-looking finish
Pores that look smaller and smoother
Fewer-looking blemishes and calmer, less congested skin
More even tone, with the look of post-acne marks softening over time
A stronger-feeling skin barrier
A lightweight, non-greasy texture
Great For These Everyday Skin Situations
Shiny T-zone by afternoon: helps keep oil in check through hot, humid days.
Visible pores around the nose and cheeks: helps refine the look of texture.
Post-acne marks and uneven tone: supports a clearer, more even-looking complexion.
Layering under sunscreen and makeup: absorbs quickly so it sits neatly under SPF and foundation. Wait about a minute before applying the next step.
Mask or helmet breakouts and sweaty-weather congestion: helps keep skin balanced and calm.
Oily skin in AC rooms: oily skin can still get dehydrated, so pair it with a light moisturizer.
Who Is It For? Oily, combination and blemish-prone skin are the main fit. Normal skin can use it too, and men can use it as part of a simple daily routine. Very dry or very sensitive skin should patch test and start slowly, for example every other day.

HOW TO USE
+
Cleanse your face with a gentle face wash and pat dry.
Apply 2–3 drops to your face, avoiding the eye area.
Pat gently until absorbed. Do not rub in a lot of product, as more is not better.
Follow with a lightweight moisturizer.
Morning: finish with sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). Night: use your moisturizer as the last step.
Use once or twice daily. Most people notice a difference in oil balance within a few weeks, and changes in pores and marks take longer.
PRECAUTIONS
+
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If it gets in, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Patch test first. Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before full use.
10% is a strong concentration. If your skin is sensitive or new to niacinamide, start every other day and build up.
Stop use if you notice persistent redness, burning, itching, stinging, swelling or rash, and consult a doctor or dermatologist.
Do not apply on broken, wounded, sunburned or irritated skin.
More is not better. Using extra drops or layering the serum multiple times does not speed up results and can cause irritation or pilling.
Use sunscreen daily. Skin care for pigmentation and marks works best with sun protection.
Go slowly with other actives. If you also use retinol, AHAs, BHAs or benzoyl peroxide, introduce them gradually and avoid layering too many at once.
Severe or cystic acne: this serum does not replace medical treatment. See a dermatologist.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding or medical skin conditions: consult your doctor before use.
Allergies: do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient listed on the pack.
Storage: keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, close the cap tightly after use, and keep out of reach of children. Check the shelf life and period-after-opening symbol on the pack.
Results vary from person to person. This product is cosmetic and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

FAQs
+
Is niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% good for oily skin in Pakistan?
Yes, it is one of the most popular combinations for oily and combination skin. It helps regulate oil, refine the look of pores and calm blemish-prone skin. It is lightweight enough for hot, humid weather.
How long does it take to work?
Many people notice less shine and a calmer complexion within 2–4 weeks. Pores and post-acne marks take longer and need consistent use. Results vary.
Will it shrink my pores permanently?
Pore size is largely genetic, so no serum permanently shrinks pores. Niacinamide helps refine their look by balancing oil and improving skin texture.
Is 10% niacinamide too strong?
Many people tolerate it well, but sensitive skin can react. Patch test, start every other day, and use only a few drops.
Can I use it with vitamin C?
Yes. The idea that niacinamide and vitamin C cancel each other out is outdated. If your skin is sensitive, use vitamin C in the morning and niacinamide at night, or space them apart.
Can I use it with retinol, AHA or BHA?
Yes, but introduce them gradually. On the same night, layering too many actives can cause irritation. Alternating nights is a safer start.
Should I use it morning or night?
Either or both. If used in the morning, always follow with sunscreen.
Will I get purging or breakouts?
Niacinamide is not known for classic purging, but any new product can cause a reaction in some skin. If you get itching, burning or a rash, stop use and consult a dermatologist.
Does it lighten skin?
It helps even out the look of skin tone and dark marks over time, but it does not change your natural skin color.
Why does my serum pill under sunscreen?
Usually from using too many drops or applying the next layer too soon. Use 2–3 drops, wait a minute, then apply moisturizer and sunscreen.
Can men use it?
Yes, it is suitable for men as part of a simple routine, and it can help with shine and visible pores.
Can teenagers use it?
It can be used by teens with oily or blemish-prone skin, but start slowly, and a dermatologist should guide persistent acne.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Niacinamide is commonly used in skincare, but ask your doctor before using any new product during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
