Niacinamide is the most over-recommended ingredient in skincare — which means “is this one any good?” is a harder question than “should I use niacinamide?” This is an honest review of Floreva’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum: what’s in it, who it’s for, who should buy something else, and what 5 verified customers reported.
Quick Verdict
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Product | Floreva Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum |
| Price | Rs.1,999 · 30ml · COD across Pakistan |
| Customer rating | 4.8 / 5 across 5 verified Pakistani reviews |
| Best for | Oily / combination / acne-prone skin: oil control, pores, post-acne marks |
| Skip if | Very dry / sensitive skin (an HA-paired niacinamide is gentler) |
| Standout | The 10% + 1% Zinc combo — the same formula The Ordinary made famous, at a local price |
What It Is
- Niacinamide 10% — the clinically effective concentration for oil regulation, pore appearance, and fading post-acne marks. Not the weak 2–4% you find in cheap serums.
- Zinc PCA 1% — the addition that makes this an acne-focused serum: antibacterial against breakout-causing bacteria, plus extra oil control.
- Lightweight, fast-absorbing — sits well under sunscreen and makeup, doesn’t pill.
- 30ml dropper bottle — ~2–3 month supply at correct dosing.

How It Performs
Across 5 verified reviews (4.8 average), the consistent themes:
What customers report
- Smaller-looking pores + less oil. The most common result — “my pores look smaller, and my skin feels less oily throughout the day.”
- Overall skin appearance improvement over a few weeks of consistent use.
- Fast delivery (a recurring Floreva operational positive customers mention).
- Gentle — no irritation complaints, which matches niacinamide’s well-tolerated reputation.
What to keep in mind
- It takes a few weeks. One reviewer noted “it took a few weeks to see full effects” — normal for niacinamide. Pore and oil changes show at 2–4 weeks; mark-fading at 6–12.
- It’s zinc-based, so it leans mattifying. Great for oily skin, less ideal for dry skin (which would prefer a niacinamide + hyaluronic acid formula).
- 5 reviews is a moderate sample — smaller than our Glycolic (19) or Vitamin C (7) review bases.

Who It’s Right For
Buy this if: your skin is oily, combination, or acne-prone; you want oil control, smaller-looking pores, and help with post-acne marks; you want the proven 10% + Zinc formula without paying imported prices.
Buy something else if: your skin is very dry or sensitive (a niacinamide + hyaluronic acid formula like ELIXIR is gentler and more hydrating), or you want to test a 5% formula first because you’ve reacted to actives before.
How to Use It
- Night, after cleansing. Wait 60 seconds for skin to dry.
- 2–3 drops for face and neck, pat in gently.
- Follow with a lightweight moisturizer.
- Morning: pairs with Vitamin C — Vit C in the AM, niacinamide in the PM is the cleanest split.
- For acne specifically, alternate nights with Glycolic Acid — the pairing is bundled in our Acne Rapid-Rescue Duo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Niacinamide kab lagana hai?
Night is cleanest, after cleansing. It’s gentle enough for morning too, but the standard split is Vitamin C in the morning and niacinamide at night.
Will it help with acne?
Yes — the niacinamide reduces oil and the zinc fights breakout-causing bacteria. For active acne, pair it with Glycolic on alternate nights.
Does it really shrink pores?
No topical changes pore size (that’s genetic), but niacinamide reduces the oil and dead-skin buildup that stretches pores, so they look visibly smaller in 4–8 weeks.
Can I use it with Vitamin C?
Yes — the old “they cancel out” myth is debunked. Vit C morning, niacinamide night for the cleanest routine.
Does Floreva offer COD?
Yes — COD across Pakistan, free delivery on orders above Rs.3,000.
How long does a bottle last?
At 2–3 drops nightly, a 30ml bottle lasts approximately 2–3 months.
Floreva Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% — Rs.1,999. COD across Pakistan, free delivery on orders above Rs.3,000, 7-day returns.
