opigen Niacinamide 22% + Zinc Face Serum, 1 oz — Lightweight Oil Control & Pore Refining

opigen Niacinamide 22% + Zinc Serum is a concentrated Korean-style face serum formulated to reduce visible pores, regulate oil, and balance skin texture without heavy hydration.

This lightweight 1 oz serum blends high-concentration niacinamide with zinc to target excess sebum, uneven tone, and the appearance of enlarged pores while small-molecule hyaluronic acid provides a subtle moisture recharge. Designed for daily layering, the formulation absorbs quickly and plays well under moisturizers, sunscreens, and makeup. It’s presented as part of a skin-balancing routine rather than an aggressive treatment, suitable for combination to oily, acne-prone skin types.

How does this serum reduce the look of pores and control oil?

The formula pairs 22% niacinamide—known for improving skin texture and tone—with zinc to help modulate sebum production and refine surface appearance. Together they help skin look smoother and less congested without stripping moisture.

• High 22% niacinamide concentration for visible texture improvement
• Zinc to help regulate excess oil and shine
• Lightweight base that minimizes pore-clogging ingredients

Can I use opigen Niacinamide + Zinc with other actives like acids or retinoids?

You can layer this serum with other actives, but introduce combinations gradually to monitor sensitivity. Using it alongside gentle exfoliants or retinoids is common; spacing applications or alternating evenings reduces irritation risk.

• Apply once daily at first, then increase frequency as tolerated
• Avoid mixing with strong vitamin C serums at the same time to prevent pH conflict
• Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning

What results should I expect and how long does it take?

Improved oil control and a refined pore appearance can be noticed within a few weeks of consistent use, while broader tone and texture improvements may take a month or more. Individual responses vary based on skin type and routine.

• Visible reduction in surface shine within 1–3 weeks for many users
• Smoother texture and more even tone with continued use over 4–8 weeks
• Best results when used as part of a balanced skincare regimen

How should I apply this serum in my daily routine?

Dispense 1–2 drops onto fingertips and apply to clean, dry skin; pat gently over the face focusing on the T-zone and areas with enlarged pores. Layer a hydrating moisturizer on top and use sunscreen during daytime routines.

• Use after cleansing and toning but before thicker creams
• Can be used morning and/or night depending on tolerance
• Complement with moisturizing or barrier-supporting products if you experience dryness

Who is this for: opigen Niacinamide 22% + Zinc Serum is aimed at people with combination, oily, or acne-prone skin who want to reduce visible pore size, manage excess oil, and improve overall skin texture without heavy creams. It’s also suitable for those adopting a Korean-style layered routine who need a fast-absorbing, high-performance booster. If your skin is very dry or extremely sensitive, consider patch-testing first and pairing with richer hydration.
