Minimalist Barrier Repair Niacinamide 5% Face Serum for Clear Glowing Skin | Reduces Dullness, Hydrates & Repairs Skin with Vit B3 & Hyaluronic Acid | Day & Night Serum for Dry & Sensitive Skin | For Women & Men | 30 ml

I have combination skin. Initially I didn't use any moisturizer after applying the serum, it made my skin very dull, but my acne spots reduced and my face was glowing.Then I tried it with aloe vera gel and moisturizer, overall I got an amazing result, my skin texture improved, my skin doesn't feel dull anymoreIt brightens my face.

This is my second bottle,i could see pigmentation marks fading and my skin looks clean and fair , i suggested it to many , i apply before going out along with minimalist sunscreen.wonderful must have

It's perfect for people like me who have oily , acne prone skin along with hyperpigmentation .It works wonders for your skin .The thing that I love about this product is that it doesn't have any fragrance and it's transparent in colour, as it does not contain artificial fragrance it doesn't irritate the skin .You will start seeing the results if you have mild acne problems . It showed great results in just 1 week . I usually order 10 % niacinmide but by mistake I ordered 5 % niacinamide and was bit skeptical it it will work on my skin the way 10% niacinmide does but guess what it's amazing .It also helps that it has hyaluronic acid which as we all know helps in hydrating our skin and slowly repairing it .Niacinamide also helped with my acne marks which are light after continuously using it .I would suggest to use niacinmide in the along with moisturizer and sunscreen ( it's important , I used to think it doesn't matter, but it does ).In the evening salicylic acid and moisturizer.Having skincare is important .

Skin type : Dry SensitiveUsing with : Minimalist 3% PHA tonerJust wow, I'm seeing difference within 3-5 days. It has reduced acne, lighten acne marks. Satisfied with the product, value for money, no smell, quality is premium, thick consistency appearance, after using moisture it feels moisturizing.If you're confused how to use it, the routine as well as the products which goes well with it are mentioned on the package.

It's ok

Very effective for acne skin

Anything with niacinamide below 5% is good. Better use 4 times in a week for very sensitive skin like mine. I use it only once in a day 4 times a week. More than that my skin starts reacting.

I had heard Niacinamide is one of the safest skincare ingredients out there.Opted for a 5% Niacinamide serum rather than one with a higher potency, because I was a first time user.This was last year in March.Nope.For some clarification, I am someone who has never experienced any sort of major skin breakout or inflammation. Ever.Yes, a pimple here and there.But never anything serious.For most of my life, even during puberty, while my peers struggled with breakouts and inflamed acne, I escaped the wrath of hormones with clear, unblemished skin.This serum gave me the first and probably the most horrifying case of acne I've ever experienced. It was more of a nightmare for someone like me, because I had never experienced anything even close to it before.I had never seen my skin so inflamed. I broke out on both sides of my face with acne that did NOT look pretty.I couldn't understand it because I didn't think that the serum had anything to do with it. Everywhere I read about it, Niacinamide was being hailed as a relatively harmless wonder ingredient, by users and experts alike, and something that should be incorporated in every skincare regimen.Maybe it was this particular formulation but my..For the next few days, I kept using the serum, not thinking that it might be causing the purging.Finally, after my skin was increasingly inflamed, I discontinued use.Because I was not sure exactly what it was that was causing my skin to breakout, I stopped my entire skin routine.The inflammation lasted for about a month. Fortunately, I was able to calm my skin and prevent scars or pigmentation.I cannot blame the ingredient or even this serum since so many people have benefited from it.Skincare is subjective and this holy grail ingredient just might not be for me or maybe this particular serum didn't work for me.I have my own little skincare routine which is pretty basic and my skin feels quite happy as it is.It's certainly not worth risking another bout of intense purging or inflammation, especially for skin of colour.
