Minimalist 10% Niacinamide Face Serum for Acne Marks, Blemishes & Oil Balancing with Zinc | Skin Clarifying Anti Acne Serum for Oily & Acne Prone Skin, Transparent, 30 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

I was still loving it but by this time, my skin was introduced to acne. It wasn’t because of this product, just a phase where my skin went crazy and did its own thing. The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum did help me curb the breakouts but it wasn’t the complete cure. Just something I felt I should let you all know from my experience and research. Niacinamide is not the cure to your acne but it definitely helps in the healing process and overall blemish reduction.

Caution: No matter what brand Niacinamide you use, it can cause purging if you are new to it. So please keep that in mind before using it. The purging should go away in 3 weeks or so. If you take a break from niacinamide and start it again after a few months the purging may or may not happen again totally depends on your skin type. But if breakouts or any kind of rash, redness continues after 3 weeks please stop using it. Some people especially dehydrated skin can have issues with Niacinamide so see what works for you. So, which brand is the Winner in my opinion?Within 20 days, it faded away all the tiny acne marks I was having on my cheeks and on my nose. There was this group of deep acne marks on my chin which is now 80% reduced. It is still here and it is going to take more time considering the intensity but the way alpha-arbutin worked in fading away these marks, is amazing. I personally feel people of any skin type can use it if they use it in the right way. Best suited for oily and acne-prone skin people as the salicylic acid would dissolve the sebum and dead cells. How to use salicylic acid serum? When to use it? And the truth, I have learned, is that yes, my skin does benefit from all of the ingredients, just not in separate formulas. You see, I’m going to let you in on a very big secret: Layering your skincare products isn’t nearly as good for your skin as brands would have you believe; it just makes them a lot of money. Why sell one product, specially formulated with an array of ingredients designed to work in tandem, when they could split up that ingredient list into five different serums and sell them all individually?

Yes, we are talking about dupes! Skincare dupes have been a thing for a while now, and it’s always interesting to do a Face-off between similar products. It’s up to you if you use your HA serum as part of your morning or your night-time routine; if applying in the morning, give the product time to sink in before applying moisturiser and makeup, as serum formulations can be quite runny and may cause your makeup to slide off if not properly absorbed. In a nutshell, I would say India has a solid win with this stunning Niacinamide Serum by The Minimalist. But then again it does depend on your skin type & preferences. You may not like it as much as I personally do. The Face-Off: The Ordinary Vs. The Minimalist Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum Price: Boxes detail different transparent info tailored to each product, whether that’s on which parts of your face to use it, or how included active ingredients such as vitamin C benefit the skin. For those seeking accessible retinol or acids, the online shop breaks down the best usage and suitable accompanying products. I think the Aloe Vera Juice in the formula in place of Water has really done it for me and taken this product one level up. Overall, this has really helped repair my skin. I used to get lots of whiteheads and bumps on my forehead but they are almost completely gone. I do get breakouts occasionally but they heal faster with this serum. The overall sebum production is remarkably reduced and my skin doesn’t feel as congested as it used to when I had stopped using Niacinamide after running out of my Ordinary one.In the morning routine, it was Niacinamide followed by Alpha Arbutin and in the nighttime routine, it was Salicylic Acid followed by Niacinamide. No matter what, my sequence remained the same i.e, Salicylic Acid, then Niacinamide, and then Alpha Arbutin. After having used and loved the Niacinamide Serums from both the brands, I can say that they are both extremely similar in the way they perform and yes, The Minimalist is absolutely a spot-on dupe for The Ordinary.

I would suggest that you use it at night (PM). After washing your face, take 2 drops of this serum and gently pat it all over your face. A blend of Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 & the Red Clover Extract, to not only preserve hair follicle stem cell activity, but it also modulate DHT (a hormone, high levels of which, results in hairfall) I also made sure to focus on moisturization as Salicylic Acid has a tendency to dry out the skin. If you too are starting on actives, make sure to never skip the moisturizer.Salicylic acid is chemical exfoliator (BHA). Now don’t freak out after reading the word “chemical”. No these are not harmful. The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum and The Minimalist Niacinamide Serum are both suitable for all skin types, especially for Combination-Oily Skin. They are suitable to be used during the AM or PM. Skin Benefits: We were traveling and my husband suddenly got a large painful inflammation on the nose bridge and guess what? I used this serum as a spot treatment at night and the next morning the pain disappeared and the pimple did not grow bigger. And slowly it just vanished. I have also noticed that this has controlled my excess sebum production too. You may have heard a lot in recent years about hyaluronic acid (HA), the wonder ingredient that has found its way into seemingly everything from face creams and foundations to shampoos and eyelash treatments. A brilliant hydrator, hyaluronic acid helps to plump up and retain moisture in the skin, smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles and giving skin a younger, fresher feel. Hyaluronic acid also has healing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent product to use to heal and hydrate irritated or sensitive skin. A great product to help dry skin retain moisture, hyaluronic acid is a good lightweight and non-greasy ingredient to help balance oilier skins. How should I apply my hyaluronic acid serum?

Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 found in whole grains and certain greens. Synthetic forms of this ingredient are most often used in serums and moisturizers. The Ordinary: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is indicated to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. A high 10% concentration of this vitamin is supported in the formula by zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid to balance visible aspects of sebum activity. If you’re new to the Skincare World, you might not know what Niacinamide is and why it’s worshipped by Skincare fiends across the globe?! So, let’s do some homework before we get into the spicy part of this post. Instead of directly dropping the serum onto the face, I like to take one pump onto my palm, rub it between my hands, and gently tap all over the face making sure the product is evenly distributed.

Salicylic acid (BHA), an age-old remedy, works by dissolving dead skin cells and sebum from the inner walls of pores, revealing fresh skin underneath. This entire process takes place under the surface of the skin. All these serums I have, Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, and Alpha Arbutin are transparent runny serums with Aloe Juice as their base. At first, I was actually worried because in the past aloe vera hasn’t worked best for me but then I also thought it might be because of the brands I have used. Either they weren’t of good quality or they weren’t pure or something, I don’t know. I am impressed with the way Alpha Arbutin has worked on marks. After a whole month of usage, there is visible clarity on my face.
