What is the experiment the creator is conducting in the review?
-The creator is testing two niacinamide and zinc serums—one from Dermaco and one from The Ordinary—on each half of their face over a month to determine if they are truly dupes.
Why is the creator testing both serums simultaneously on each half of their face?
-The creator wants to ensure a fair comparison by using the serums side-by-side, avoiding variables such as skin changes or weather fluctuations that could affect results when testing one after the other.
What is niacinamide, and why is it beneficial for the skin?
-Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, is an anti-inflammatory that is beneficial for sensitive skin, rosacea, and acne. It helps reduce pigmentation, acne scars, and sebum production, and can be layered with other active ingredients to reduce irritation.
What are the key differences in the ingredients between the Dermaco and The Ordinary serums?
-The Ordinary's ingredient list is simpler and contains fewer potential irritants compared to Dermaco's, which includes ingredients like perfume, propylene glycol, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives that could irritate sensitive skin.
How does the creator feel about the packaging of both products?

Which serum does the creator recommend based on the experiment?
-The creator recommends The Ordinary's serum for its quicker results and cleaner ingredient list, especially for sensitive skin. However, Dermaco is a reasonable option for those seeking a more affordable and accessible serum in India.
