Product Information

Is this worsening expected? I thought an antibiotic and niacinamide wouldn't cause any initial "purge" or whatever. If you really fancy comparing minutia, then it is worth noting that The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum does contain a small bonus in the form of Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, a moisturizing agent which also improves the skin's elasticity and leaves an extremely pleasant velvety feeling on the skin. Delivery is on a selected date, you can choose a delivery day of your choice, up to 10 days in advance (Excluding next day delivery. Postcode restrictions apply)

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% has a couple of drops of Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, a polysaccharide thatmoisturizesskin. Please note that in the first weeks of adjusting a treatment, a worsening of acne may be observed, including the appearance of small pustules. This reaction is normal, it is the accelerated elimination of microcysts that were forming in the skin."

Now, let’s get started with the review of this Skin Blemish & Pore Refining Serum – 10% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc by Revolution Skincare! I have used this for about a week now, and my skin has gotten quite a bit worse with acne. Particularly I have lots small inflamed spots which have come up, and these are very painful to touch although small.

SHAKE WELL before applying directly onto affected areas with clean fingertips. Use every evening. Do not apply anything on top such as moisturiser or night cream. Only use when necessary on active blemishes. Do not apply to eye or lip area.Discontinue if irritation occurs. Keep out of eyes. If product gets into eyes, rinse well with water. Not recommended for use with topical prescriptions or sensitive skin. For external use only. Niacinamide is the most versatile ingredient in skincare. It can do everything. I’m not exaggerating. Studies show that Niacinamide: Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3, and is an absolute powerhouse of an ingredient. It can (and should!) be added to your skincare routine if you are looking to improve hydration, reduce the appearance of blemishes, or even out the skin's complexion. Furthermore, preliminary research has shown that Niacinamide can aid in the production of collagen, thus also helping to treat fine lines and wrinkles. This is also a true claim! The oil production of my face definitely slowed down while I was using this serum, and it showed a lot even when I was wearing a full face of makeup. I uploaded pics and from that they recommend based on the severity of my acne stil (after using tret for 6 months) that I change from **0.1% tretinoin to 0.1% Tret, with Clindamycin and Niacinamide mixed in to help inflammation and acne.

As always, here we are! At the end of the day, would I recommend the 10% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc serum by Revolution Skincare? I would, but under determinate circumstances. In combination, these ingredients regulate the skin’s natural oil production to help prevent further congestion, while Zinc has calming and soothing properties, to help reduce the appearance of active blemishes.Some people state that niacinamide and vitamin C should not be used together as they neutralise each other or can react together to form nicotinic acid that can lead to skin flushing (redness). However, these days the raw materials and the formulations they are in are stabilised and produced under the correct manufacturing methods so that isn’t really the case. In real-world usage, they are fine to use together and actually their combined antioxidant effect and skin health benefits can lead to radiant, smoother and healthier-looking skin! Target those stubborn under-the-surface bumps whilst you sleep with this overnight spot treatment formulated with hard-working ingredients to help reduce inflammation and prevent future breakouts.
