I bought minimalist’s yellow peel first, my skin didn’t show any improvement, rather increased the appearance of tiny bumps on my face. I then went on to buy their toner, which gave me a lot of pimples even though I don’t have acne prone skin. I started using their niacinamide, but it too started enhancing my bumpy skin texture. I ordered their new salicylic acid face wash and oat moisturiser and have used it. If these don’t work for my skin either, I’m going to quit minimalist forever. I’ve spent too much money on skin care.🥴
I'm breaking out too badly with Minimalist products. I'm using Salicylic + lha 2% cleanser, pha 3%+ biotic toner, sepicalm 3% oat moisturiser and Multi-Vitamin SPF 50 - Broad spectrum Suncreen. Using it for more than 2 weeks😓😓bought it by Minimalist team recommendation by chatting. increased breakouts, pimples😫😫
@@AboliA I'm using for 1month... I have darkspots so that i choose Alpha arbutin . . Sometimes it's gives breakouts then after that it's becomes normal . ..so problm is in my diet of not drinking water properly so i started to work on that. . . Now serum doing its work. . Slowly it's works need patience. . . N jst using serum, moisturizer ,sunscreen as mentioned in the product 🤗
@@summi7628 drink water n more juice... Need to be clean internally also... Wat we eat that definitely reacts on our face dear so working on that might be useful as it's works for me🤗
@@komalayu566 same here. 10 days of using alpha arbutin n from last 4 days I could clearly see the tiny bumps which also causing itching on my face. Can this be a sign of future clear skin
Hi Aboli ....I discovered you 2 days back on internet.....and I binge watched all your videos and I am so glad that I found you......loved the kind of clear information you are giving to help so many people.....kuddos to you...... I just wanted to ask you what product would you suggest for treating open pores. And crow's feet....everyone is talking about dark spots acne .....but no one is talking about crows feet and open pores
Hi Shikha, thank you so much 💖 For pores, salicylic acid and niacinamide works 😊 For crow's feet retinol and/or peptide serums I will make a dedicated video on these topics 😊
I am soo blessed ,my skin is very much with Actives. My skin love it. But I didn't try Retinol yet, I scared little bit with it. But my skin and most of the actives are friends
Even I was scared of the Retinol, Sneha. Luckily my acclimatization took only about 18-20 days, and now my skin is so soft and glowing. Go for it. The initial discomfort is totally worth it.
Niacinamide 10% does purge. I did but after a few days, it went down luckily. Yes you are right one should not use way too many actives. Just stick to 1-3.
Also, Alpha Arbutin & Niacinamide are not the same. They both compliment each other with their contribution. Where Arbutin is a Tyrosinase inhibitor preventing the formation of melanin, Niacinamide prevents the transfer of melanosome from the melanocytes to the upper layers of skin. Using both together is effective to treat hyperpigmentation.
By same, I meant both the ingredients block the hyperpigmentation pathway. If tyrosinase is inhibited, melanosomes do not mature. So, there is not question of transfer. Essentially, the result is the same. one acts at the earlier stage and the other acts at the later stage (in the process of hyperpigmentation) Also, if you want to use them together why not distribute them throughout day and night.
@@AboliA I bought pha toner arbutin and niacinimide from mimimilist used the the toner 2-3 times and the rest more often just been a week and I have these small breakouts and white heads don't know from which product now, also both niacinimide and arbutin serum contain hylauranic acid so should we use them on damp skin so are you sure about using them on dry skin? Bcz doesn't using hylauranic acid without toners or on damp skin makes your skin drier. I have dry irritated skin already and it's weird now I am getting breakouts on top of that. (P.s. by 2-3 times I mean 2-3 days in a week) I have Normal to dry skin also kina sensitive .
@@debolinadutta2584 yup that can happen. 10% is too much for some people. If you still wanna use uo your product, i suggest adding a single drop of it in your moisturizer. It shouldn't cause much irritation.
I observed that it makes the skin really sticky for some reason so I refrain from applying it all over my face..instead I use It as a spot treatment only in the morning hours not a night. I prefer not to use anything that makes my face feel heavy at night.

Hey, I've a doubt. If you don't support/prefer layering actives, could you please let us know how do you then advice using more than 2 actives? For example, people using Alpha Arbutin, Vitamin C (to treat pigmentation) and Multi Peptides, Retinol (for anti-aging).... How should they be using the actives by not layering them? As according to you only one active can be used in the morning and one in the evening.
Hello, I don't support using so many actives together ☺️ If you have seen my video on "how to build a skincare routine with actives" You will see that I recommend listing out 3 skin goals and getting actives only for the 3 skin concerns. (Not necessarily 3 actives, one active can fulfill all goals too) Then you can use one active in the morning and one at night and one exfoliator ☺️✌️
You can use it on different days and different routines. It's not that hard and layering is simply a waste of product as only the first thing you put on your skin after cleansing will be completely absorbed. Others are just going to sit there on top of the skin and not do much for you. Along with that comes the risk of combining actives of different potencies of different brands. It's going to ruin your skin if it somehow reacts with each other. Why take such a huge risk? And anyway now we have serums like deconstruct coming out with multiple actives in a single serum for a particular skin concern. If you really want to use multiple actives then choose those serums.
I have trexamic acid. Vitamin c Retinoid but I want to use retinol from plum / minimalist . But can you pleas guide me how to use all of these...?? Please these are working good for me but I use them alternate...
I got tiny bumps and itchiness on my face after using alpha arbutin. Can we say its purging?? And will this issue a sign of clear skin... Plzz do reply
Hai....I am beginner to these actives....planning to incorporate Minimalist alpha arbutin into my skin care routine....could u please suggest me whether to use it or not...
Hi maam am getting red rashes when ever am using the vit c ...what to do am cleansing my face and then once my skin gets dry then am using the serum and then after 2 to 3 mint once my skin absorbed the serum am using the cetaphil dam moisturizer. ..
Mam what you would suggest should I go for things like cosglo gel to reduce pigmentation all around my face or should I invest on product like Alpha arbutin by the minimalist which is a serum
Hi Aboli can I use like this: Aha glow cleanser minimalist hyaluronic serum on damp skin, and then niacinamide 5% , Acnemoist Moisturizer Twice a day. Mine is acne prone sensitive skin. But Im using sebogel gel from 1 year twice a day( somedays i don't use) , never get any purging, it helps to clear my acne within 3 days. But its not working for pores and eventone. Please advice
I used niacinemaide ..at 1st i got purging..but mu open pores are reduced.and my skin was glowing. So i continued it some more days..and now i get less purging...and i my skin get better day bye. But still i am confusing what to do...what yiu think about this matter..pls suggest me
Hii,🥰 hope u r doing well and staying healthy and also Happy Women's Day!! so.. I have been using a vitamin C for more than 2 months now and it has definitely helped with fading my dark spots, but my skin still has a long way to go, so I was thinking of layering my Vit C with the minimalist alpha arbutin. So should I? and will it accelerate the fading of my blemishes? btw I am 18 and I do not break out as much as at 15-16😣, but the dark spots are still there...
Hi Chetana, Happy Women's Day ✨💖 As I have mentioned in the video, I don't think layering is a good option for compromised skin. You can use Vit C in the morning and Alpha arbutin at night 😊
Hey whenever I use niacinamide it breaks me out (after a week or something) I can't understand why(it helps with my irritation and redness as well)it's so confusing :(
Hello, have you tried niacinamide from different brands and concentrations? If yes, then niacinamide most probably does not suit your skin. Don't lose hope, if niacinamide does not work then chuck it try other ingredients 😊
Are you read my mind...hahaha ...I am currently started using vitamin C serum from minimalist...I am seeing a little tiny bumps just here nd there in my face...
Mam salicylic acid ko mai ek mahine se use kr rhi hu and ab mai vitamin c serum ko kese daily routine m use kru and kya dobara pimples ho jayge agar mai salicylic acid bnd kr du??
These all are sub sensitive actives. Use only at night. And use sunscreen in day time. Lactic acid should be used once a week to begin with as it can be sensitising.
@@AboliA vya naturals niacinamide serum .. been working great for all the pih that SA serum left . I'm so thankful for tht serum.. I have the SA serum 2 chances broke me out in 7 to 8 places everytime. I'm not trying anymore. But I still use it for active pimple one drop overnight. kinda works. I'm 19. Also suffering from 4 to 5 pitted scarring on cheeks😪. Think shd see dermat and retin A can help mayb. But m already insecure🥺. Mom fears dermat might do worse. She says leave just like tht it'll go. But it won't right.
@@ritikaritu3089 hii..is niacinamide really helpful in fading your pih..bcoz mine the minimalist 5% one..is not showing any results even after using it religiously for 2 months..did the vyq naturals really work?? If so how long did it take?? It will mean a lot if you'd spare your time to reply..❣️
@@tamilselvi155 I'm using it for like 2 1/2 months. Gonna finosh thr bottle. If there's one holy grail product I trust and one product that prevented my face frm getting more acne. Also it has kinds faded my pih by 40%.. my pih isn't that strong. They're just kinda reddish purplish marks. So I wasn't too curious abt it. But it didn't break me out n healed my skin for good. I'm 19 only. So vit c, alpha arbutin these I don't use. I keep my routine minimal. If ur looking to fade pih u can try these.. also hey I'm Tamil.
i did patch test steps from ur video im trying out minimalist aha bha. im used to chemical peel as i used dr sheth daily peel. i applied last week only on my fore head i got very small 2 breakouts i tried on 2 arms 2 sides back of ears even lower chin area i didnt get any reaction but on fore head i got minimal reaction. i think i am doing lot of patch test 😂 from 3 weeks so can i try on my full face ?
