The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% Zinc 1%.......is this a purge or breakout?

eatasnickers there is a whole forum thread dedicated to The Ordinary, I know quite a few beauties have tried the niacinamide so perhaps drop into that thread, you will get more answers from there. Just search "the ordinary" in forum topics and you will find it =) good luck

Quite a few of us have used and are still using The Ordinary Niacinamide, including myself. It is a pretty versatile ingredient and also often appears in other products.

Niacinamide can actually help with breakouts but there are also people who are allergic to it as an ingredient. You might fall into that category if you have not used niacinamide before and are experiencing a breakout.

It might also be that you are using too much of it - perhaps use it sparingly as a spot treatment and see how you go. If you get it where you have applied it as a spot, then the likelihood is that your skin cannot tolerate it.
