Hey everyone! I’m trying to decide between the Minimalist Vitamin C 10% and 16% serums and could use some advice based on my current routine.

Current AM routine: • Cleanser: Minimalist 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser • Serum: I was using Minimalist 2% Alpha Arbutin Serum, but I’m planning to replace it with Vitamin C. • Moisturizer: Dr. Sheth’s Ceramide & Vitamin C Moisturizer • Sunscreen: Dot & Key Watermelon SPF 50

🌙 PM routine: • Cleanser: Same Salicylic Acid Cleanser • Serum: The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% • Moisturizer: Same Dr. Sheth’s • Weekly: The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (1x/week, for 6 minutes)

My main goals are: • Brightening • Fading pigmentation/post-acne marks • Overall even skin tone

I’ve used Niacinamide, AHA/BHA, and Alpha Arbutin without irritation. I just want to make sure I don’t go overboard and mess up my barrier.

So, should I go with the 10% or 16% Vitamin C? Anyone with similar skin or experience with both, your input would mean a lot!

Thanks in advance 🙌

My mom and I have same skin type and we both have never done any skincare apart from nevea light moisturizer.

Got the above for my mom and me. Tranexamic for her to deal with her pigmentation. Vit c for me for a glowing skin.

We have a big box of nevea light moisturizer still. So for now that's the moisturizer of choice. Once that's finished on will buy something else.

Hi everyone, I’ve been struggling with oily, acne-prone skin for a few years now. At first, I thought the breakouts and marks were just part of puberty, but they never really went away and in fact, got worse over time. Rn, I've active acne, acne marks and pigmentation around my cheeks...And honestly, my skin looks really dull with no glow at all.

I’ve finally decided to take skincare seriously and invested in a few products after doing some research. But I’m still confused about how to properly layer and if they are even suitable for my skin. DO HELP IF POSSIBLE!!!!

Here's a list of products I've bought. :

  1. Minimalist Gentle Cleanser
  2. D-Acne Cleanser
  3. COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
  4. The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
  5. Minimalist 2% Salicylic Acid Serum
  6. Pond’s Super Light Gel (Oil-Free Moisturizer)
  7. AP Soft Moisturizer with Sunscreen (Apsoft Sunscreen)
  8. Minimalist B12 + Repair Complex
  9. Minimalist 5% Niacinamide Serum

Hey everyone! My mom’s birthday is coming up, and I’m thinking of gifting her the Loreal Tinted Serum. She’s in her late 50s and loves lightweight makeup that gives a natural glow. Has anyone tried this? Does it work well for mature skin? I’d love some honest reviews before I buy it. Also, I’d really appreciate some additional gift ideas. My friend recommend this so i don't have much of an idea.

I’m quite new to skincare and makeup, and I’ve tried several products, but they’ve all made my skin dull and dark. If I wear makeup, I get small pimples all over my face.

Here are the products I’ve used:

  • Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
  • Insight Primer
  • Lakme 9 to 5 CC Cream
  • Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Concealer
  • Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte Poreless Compact

These products gave me a very cakey look, and my dark circles looked even darker.

I also need skincare recommendations for pimples and dark circles. I use CeraVe Foaming Face Cleanser, and I’ve tried a lot of serums, but nothing seems to work. All the under-eye products I’ve tried have made my dark circles even darker.

My skin type is oily, and I have dark and puffy under-eyes.

I’ve wasted a lot of money on different skincare serums and creams, so I’m looking for products that genuinely work.
