Blackheads are stubborn blemishes that can be difficult to get rid of. They are caused by clogged pores that become oxidized, resulting in the black color. The Ordinary has developed an effective treatment to help eliminate blackheads and prevent future breakouts.
Understanding Blackheads
Blackheads, also known as open comedones, are a type of acne that are caused by excess oil production and dead skin cells that clog the pores. When the pore remains open, the oil and dead skin cells become oxidized and turn dark in color. Blackheads are usually found on the nose, chin, and forehead.
The Ordinary’s Treatment
The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is an effective treatment for blackheads. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, helps to regulate sebum production and improve skin texture. Zinc, on the other hand, has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce redness and irritation.
The combination of these two ingredients in The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% helps to unclog pores and prevent the formation of blackheads. It also helps to regulate oil production, which can help to prevent future breakouts.
How to Use The Ordinary’s Treatment
The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% should be used twice a day, in the morning and at night. Apply a small amount to your entire face, avoiding the eye area, and gently massage until it is fully absorbed. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer.
It is important to note that The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% should not be used in combination with products that contain vitamin C, as they can cancel each other out.
Other Tips for Preventing Blackheads
In addition to using The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, there are other things you can do to prevent blackheads:
- Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil and dirt.
- Exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores.
- Avoid using heavy makeup or skincare products that can clog pores.
- Use non-comedogenic products that won’t clog pores.
Conclusion
Blackheads can be frustrating, but with the help of The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and a good skincare routine, you can get rid of them for good. Remember to be patient and consistent with your skincare routine, and you’ll see results in no time!
