The Ordinary Niacinamide 5% Face and Body Emulsion 100ml

The Ordinary Niacinamide 5% Face and Body Emulsion is a lightweight, hydrating formula that combines niacinamide (vitamin B3) with other skin-loving ingredients. This emulsion is designed to improve the overall appearance of the skin, making it smoother, more even-toned, and well-moisturized. It can be used on both the face and body, making it a versatile addition to your skincare routine.

Features:

1. Niacinamide (5%):

   • Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is the key active ingredient in this emulsion. At a 5% concentration, it is effective at brightening the skin, reducing the appearance of pores, and balancing oil production. Niacinamide is also known for its soothing properties, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin.

2. Improves Skin Tone and Texture:

   • This emulsion helps to promote an even skin tone by minimizing redness, blotchiness, and dark spots. It also smooths the skin's texture by reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and improving overall skin radiance.

3. Hydrating Formula:

   • The emulsion is formulated to provide moisture while leaving the skin soft and hydrated. It is non-greasy, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily and combination skin.

4. Suitable for Face and Body:

   • As the name suggests, this product is versatile and can be used on both the face and body, making it an excellent option for targeting areas with uneven tone, texture, or acne scars, such as the face, chest, or back.

5. Minimizes Pore Appearance:

   • One of the standout features of niacinamide is its ability to reduce the appearance of pores by regulating oil production, giving the skin a smoother and more refined look.

6. Calms and Soothes:

   • Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties, making it a great option for soothing irritated or inflamed skin, such as that with acne or redness.

7. Non-Comedogenic:

   • This emulsion is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores, making it safe for acne-prone skin.

8. Lightweight and Absorbs Quickly:

   • The texture of the emulsion is lightweight and fast-absorbing, which means it won't leave a heavy or greasy residue on the skin. This makes it perfect for daily use on both the face and body.

How to Use:

1. Patch Test:

   • As with any new skincare product, it’s important to do a patch test before using the emulsion on your face or body. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area of your skin and wait 24 hours to ensure you don’t experience any irritation or allergic reaction.

2. Cleansing:

   • Start with clean skin. Wash your face or body with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel before applying the emulsion.

3. Apply a Small Amount:

   • Dispense a small amount of the Niacinamide 5% Face and Body Emulsion onto your fingertips. A little goes a long way, so you only need a small amount to cover larger areas.

4. Massage Into Skin:

   • Gently massage the product into your skin using circular motions, focusing on areas of concern such as uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, or dryness. For the face, avoid the immediate eye area.

5. Use After Serums (Optional):

   • If you are incorporating other treatments or serums into your routine, apply them first, and then finish with this niacinamide emulsion to lock in moisture and enhance its effects.

6. Frequency of Use:

   • This emulsion can be used both morning and night as part of your daily skincare routine. Since niacinamide is generally well-tolerated, it can be used regularly for best results.

7. Follow Up with Sunscreen:

   • If you're using this emulsion during the day, it’s important to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) afterward, especially if you’re also using other active ingredients in your routine.
