Minimalist 10% Vitamin B5 Face Moisturizer

I have acne-prone and textured skin, and it’s hard to find a moisturizer that hydrates without breaking me out. This one is amazing—very lightweight, absorbs fast, and gives my skin a soft, healthy look without feeling greasy. After using it consistently, my skin feels calmer and more balanced. It works really well with my salicylic acid products and has never irritated my skin. My face stays hydrated all day, and it has helped reduce that tight, dry feeling after cleansing. If you struggle with acne, clogged pores, or dehydration, this moisturizer is a great option. Honest review: it won’t magically erase acne, but it keeps the skin barrier strong and makes everything else work better.

Overall, I think this is a good moisturizer, especially for those with oily skin(that’s also simultaneously dry, and not combination as in one patch dry, one patch oily. No, I have a whole face that produces enough oil that I could fry chicken with while also being dry and itchy and if it gets bad enough flaky. Don’t ask me why, I just live in it.) like myself. It’s one of the only moisturizers, oil-based or otherwise, that both hydrates and doesn’t make my face greasy. That being said, there are things I both like and dislike about it. Pros: Non-greasy, relatively simple ingredient list(though I don’t know if I’d call it minimalist as the brand name says), moisturizing, makes a good base for makeup, nice texture, good size for the price. Cons: It smells awful. If you have a strong nose like I do it smells almost like old liquor, and it’s terrible. But it’s also fragrance free, so that’s the price we pay(willingly). You’ll sometimes need to use a lot if you’re extra extra dry, but that is also to be expected with a non-oil based moisturizer. The tube design is really annoying, both early on but most especially when you get to the end. I’d pay a little extra for it to come in like a glass container or something.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I’ve been trying to find a product to help oil control. This one works for a little while but skin became oily after a short period.

I’m really liking this moisturizer it’s very lightweight and it keeps my face from getting very oily which i love. The price on it is decent for what it does and i bought the smaller size to try which i’m going to get the bigger one when im done with this one. My skin feels brand new as well. I love the quality of this product

Worked great for my husband’s overly oily hands, just not enough of it for that purpose. Would probably be great for use on the face. We may come back to it as it is quite functional for the price point and no sketchy ingredients, which is quite uncommon for all three of those things to coexist. Kept the oil at bay without drying his skin and causing rebound effects. He said it absorbed quickly and wasn’t greasy, which can be a problem given why he is using it. His skin isn’t sensitive so hard to say if it would work for that or not, but it didn’t cause any problems that way. Little to no fragrance so that was nice too. Could easily be used by male or female as it didn’t have a smell. Only other thing was it seemed he had to re-apply it after washing every time, obviously wouldn’t be a problem for facial use, so still giving it a 5 star.

I really liked the actual product, it’s moisturizing without being heavy or leaving my skin with a greasy feeling, but the container seemed to be like half full when I received it. I had to squeeze a lot to get the product out and it was brand new, didn’t last long at all.

I am terrifyingly acne prone, no matter the moisturizer I used it would always seem to break me out the next day or leave my face red hot (I’m looking at you cerave) So I tried my luck with this moisturizer and omg. No inflamed face, no breakouts, no pilling under makeup. Just a soft, supple face. The moisturizer is not greasy at all, it feels so soft plus there’s no added scent. I apply this at night after washing my face with my Mixsoon cleansing foam (which is also great for sensitive/acne prone skin) and my face has never looked or felt better. I am so glad I decided to try this product. I will definitely keep buying more in the future!

I have tried so many different moisturizers. (super expensive) this is amazing. There have been moisturizers I've used once and woke up the next day with severe break outs. This doesnt break me out at all. Although I would suggest a serum of the sorts for those who have dry flaky skin. As it won't give you the moisture you need to help with flaky skin. But aside from that I seriously give this product a 10/10, especially for ingredients and price point. Well done!
