1. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

   • Why: Reduces inflammation, minimizes pores, and regulates sebum production to prevent breakouts.
   • How to Use:
     • Apply a few drops to your face morning and evening before heavier creams.
     • Avoid using it in the same routine as Vitamin C products.

2. The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution

   • Why: Exfoliates inside the pores, unclogs them, and helps treat active pimples and prevent new ones.
   • How to Use:
     • Use in the evening on cleansed skin. Apply a small amount directly to pimples or a thin layer over breakout-prone areas.
     • Avoid overusing, as salicylic acid can be drying.

Routine Example:

• Morning Routine:

  1. Cleanse your face.
  2. Apply Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%.
  3. Follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen.

• Evening Routine:

  1. Cleanse your face.
  2. Apply Salicylic Acid 2% Solution to breakout areas.
  3. Follow with a moisturizer.

Note: Always patch-test new products and introduce one at a time if you're new to actives.
