20 Best Facial Serums For Oily Skin (Jan 2023 Update)

I received this #freeproduct from #tryitwithtopbox for my honest review. I have only used Caudalie Vinopure Natural Salicylic Acid Pore Minimizing Serum for a couple of weeks and am so excited to see results already. First, it is a pleasure to apply – it is incredibly lightweight, smells amazing, and doesn’t dry out my skin. Just the scent alone is energizing. I have combination/oily skin, with large pores on my nose and occasional breakouts around my chin. Already, my skin is clearer, with much fewer breakouts and diminished pores. The natural ingredients are very gentle for a product with salicylic acid. Thank you, #topbox!VeryPrettyMess

I received this serum as a #freeproduct for an honest review. First, I think it's important to point out that I have dry, sensitive skin and not the combo/oily skin the product is aimed towards. With that said, there are ingredients in this line of skincare that people like me just should not use frequently. For instance, this serum contains BHA, which increases sun sensitivity, so wearing sunscreen – although recommended – should be a MUST! The Vinopure serum comes in nice packaging, which I appreciate. However, there is no cap to cover the dispenser top, which leaves it open to collecting undetectable dust, dirt, and bacteria. Next, the product is "fragrance free," but the scent is extremely strong. It has peppermint oil in it, which causes the strong smell. In addition to the smell, the peppermint oil along with alcohol leave my skin feeling tight and tingly. For me, the product makes my skin bright red from the tingling, and certain ingredients. That said, to protect my sensitive skin, I didn't use these products twice a day, everyday, or else my skin sensitivity would increase tenfold. I cannot speak for those with combination to oily skin & who don't have sensitive skin, but for me, I don't think this is a product I would use as often as it's recommended. These are more like "if I need it, use it" products to me. Would I recommend? Meh, maybe if you don't have dry, sensitive, pale skin suceptible to sunburn & bexoming inflamed.siddles95

About a month ago, I walked into Sephora with plans to buy a spot treatment, but met an employee with the same type of skin as me. They convinced me to do away with spot treatments, and instead use a serum that will help eliminate my acne and also keep my skin looking young and smooth. Spot treatments tend to be too trying for my combo skin, so this serum was a great substitute. After a month, I already see a huge improvement in my skin. My acne has lessened, and my skin is nice and soft. I see a lot of reviews about this product giving people more breakouts, but that happens to me whenever I try a new skin product (it’s just our skin adjusting). I noticed a few white heads appear after my first few days of using this, but they were completely gone after a week. If this happens to you, I highly encourage you to give this product a chance and wait at least one week before writing it off. It’s so worth it!!AlyssaMarieR21

I have to say the reviews surprised me. I've been using this serum with my routine for 3 weeks now and can only say good things. My skin is very dry and dehydrated. I'm in my 40s with some old sun damage and fine lines and my goal was to help heal my pregnancy melasma and help texture and lines. I use a korean essense first, followed by this niacinamide serum, vitamin c serum, a moisturizing ceramide toner and a moisturizing sunscreen every day and use a peptide-cerimide mousurizer unstead of sunscreen at night. The only thing I changed 3 weeks ago was switching out my old hyaluronic acid serum for this product. My skin is glowing. Im noticing a slow decrease in the extra texture and "patchiness" and keep getting complimented by friends who see it too. I saw a change after my 2nd time.

I layer a lot of products, although I mist between layers to help it soak in. Im my case I need all that moisture, and for my dry middle aged skin this has been great. Reading the reviews though I wont be trying it on my boyfriend who has rosacea… Eek!Tara Klang

Naturium Niacinamide Serum 12% Plus 2% Zinc helps improve uneven skin tone, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, skin texture, and fine lines while balancing excess oil production. Key Ingredients: – Niacinamide a stable form of Vitamin B that helps overall skin improvements including the fading of dark spots and smoothing of skin texture – Zinc PCA redness and irritation in addition to excess shine and oiliness. It’s also an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial – Glycerin replenishes and restores the skin by drawing and locking in moisture The texture is a creamy gel that is lightweight. It does absorb fast but leaves a tackiness behind once it has. This serum leaves my skin feeling hydrated, has reduced redness in my cheeks slightly, and overtime I have noticed my pores are smaller in appearance. I would recommend for all skin types. PROS: – Doesn’t Irritate my skin – Leaves skin feeling hydrated – Reduced redness in cheeks – Overtime I noticed a difference in my pores – Skin is noticeably brighter – Helped to unclog pores CONS: – Feels tacky on skin after it absorbscourtney.h

I too have fallen for the Niacinamide fad that had happened on Insta and have tried my share of different Niacinamide serums. The @naturium serum is by far my favorite stand alone Niacinamide product. It checks off everything in the box, high percentage, formulated with Zinc, works well with layering. It shows a visible difference in my skin when used consistently. The other ingredients include, Propanediol, Glycerin, Zinc PCA, Vitamin E, by and Sodium Hyaluronate. Zinc is supposedly an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and regulates oil. It also shows to protect and aid in wound healing and regeneration. This is why Zinc Oxide is so often found in high performing sunscreens, as it can reflect the sun and it creates a barrier between the skin and any damaging UV rays. The serum feels hydrating, non-sticky, and has very light creamy/gel texture. The serum absorbs into the skin nicely and helps reduce some of my dark spots and provides a nice glow. It also helps with reducing the redness in my cheeks, and my overall appearance of my skin has improved. #skincare #skincarecommunity #beauty #antiaging #antiagingskincare #wrinkles #menskin #menskincare #selfcare #skincareproducts #skincareblogger #reviewsmatter #skincarejunkie #skincareaddict #mensbeauty #proaging #skinblog #productreview #discoverunder2k #serum #selfcare #instaskin #instatester #naturium #skincareserum #niacinamidelandon.g

I received Neostrata Products as a gift from Voxbox Australia and Neostrata. My partner and I have been now testing theses products for 3 weeks. Neostrata Bionic Face Serum we have been using this as step 2 for our skincare routine. Only small amount is needed my skin feels firmer and brighter. My complexion has improved. This is great product I am super impressed. This serum is sticky texture but I don’t mind that as it works for me. My partner has also had been using this as step 2 for his skin routine which he never had before receiving theses beautiful products. In his words I am so impressed by this face serum! This serum is great for hydrating for super dry and flaky skin. (Not flaky anymore cause 3 steps have worked wonders for me after trying all other medicated skin products did not work). It has been strengthening the skins barriers while resurfacing skin texture and impurities. Magic in a bottlerubina.s

This Neostrata Bionic Face Serum is so lovely! The texture is similar to most serums and is a lovely thick oil that feels silky smooth and lightweight once rubbed into the skin. You only need the smallest amount of product for full face coverage, I use two pumps. It absorbs Into the skin super fast so you do need to work quick once applied before it goes tacky but once dried your skin will INSTANTLY feel hydrated and glowy! This serum refreshes dull and uneven skin tone and texture right away leaving your skin feeling hydrated, restored and youthful again! If you love a serum that provides you with intense moisturisation that protects your skin throughout the day this is the one for you!ainsley.m

Out of all the products I was sent in the #MeetNeostrataAU goodie box, this has to be my least favourite unfortunately. As I have been using actives and serums for a while now, I eliminated them for a period of time whilst trying this Bionic Face Serum. To say the tacky texture of this product annoyed me would be an understatement. It did not have a nice feel when applying and it felt like I was lathering my face in glue! I had to wait for a minimum of at least 5 mins before the serum sunk in before I could get on with the rest of my routine, not good when in a rush in the morning so I left it to put on at night. This is formulated to visibly correct signs of aging and dullness. I admittedly do not have any deep wrinkles or fine lines but I was hoping to see some improvements in the texture of my skin and clarity. Given that I do use a serum with a higher percentage of retinol, this product didn't really do much for myself, though it is a good starter for someone wanting to introduce it into their routine, as it does contain Retinyl Palmitate, albeit a low percentage as it is quite low in the ingredients list. If you can withstand the tackiness of this serum and are new to the world of actives and serums, this would be a good product to start with as I did not break out and it did not irritate my rosacea skinolisyah.a

I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF for posting this review. I'm in my fifties and have had sensitive acne prone skin since I was 12 yrs old. Based on a sample I received from LovelySkin, I been using SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF for about 2 months and the jury is still out on if my skin is benefitting from it. Since receiving the sample, I've purchased the full size- I know these things take time. Since my skin is sensitive I need to use it minimally to avoid irritation but unfortunately the pipette is designed to drop a very large volume of expensive product. I hope SkinCeuticals considers changing this. I actually poured the full size product into the sample container (which included a small better designed pipette) for better control. No one likes to pour their premium serum and money down the drain.LB

I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF Vitamin C Serum for posting this review. I purchased Silymarin CF Vitamin C serum when I was struggling with unprecedented acne due to layers of dry skin. I had been using an acne cleanser that was too drying for my skin. I didn't realize that I was the cause of the problem as I never really had acne. My skin looked like hormonal teenage skin. I did some research on what to use. I decided to go with SkinCeuticals brand as I have been a SC customer for a few years. The serum did a fantastic job! It was able to gradually slough the skin, bring the acne to the surface and heal the damage. It took time, about 2 months but that seemed quick considering how long I had been struggling with the acne. During that time I was using the serum every evening, which may be too strong for some people. But I covered it with another SC cream to combat potential drying. Now that my skin is smooth and acne free I have cut back and only use the serum a couple times a week for maintenance. My skin hasn't looked this smooth and bright in years. Whether you use every night or a couple times a week you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend the Silymarin CF Vitamin C serum.ktb1991

LOVE this vitamin C for acne prone skin. I have repurchased 3+ times. This product leaves my skin so dewy and glowy. I love the way it feels after applied. I personally apply to slightly damp skin for higher absorption. I use about 6 drops per morning – 2 drops per check, 1 drop forehead, 1 drop neck and this bottle lasts 2 months. I also feel this has helped with my hormonal chin acne. My skin type – early 30s; acne prone. Prefers a dewy natural glow. Considers myself very into skincare. Sees a derm 2x a year and an esthetician every other month. TLDR – yes, it's pricey, but lasts a long time, feels incredible, leaves skin dewy and glowy.Noreen

This is a nice serum. I only use it at night time, but have noticed a difference since I started adding it to my nighttime routine. When I wake up in the morning I notice that old spots have gone down and my overall skin texture has started to smooth out. My skin just looks bright in the morning compared to dull and just blah without this in my routine. I also use this on my neck at night. My neck had two discolored lines and they’ve gone down and overall smoothed out. The texture on my neck has dramatically smoothed out and I think a lot has to do with this serum. I use the brightening toner in the morning and this serum at night. I don’t put any other stuff on my neck other than my cleanser and moisturizer so I know my results are mainly from adding niacinamide. My neck looks like more of a match to my face, and when you’re aging like me matching my neck to my face is a good thing. Before I incorporated this to my routine my neck started showing pretty decent signs of aging. It was also discolored from left over tans in the past. So it helped make things more even. Overall I’m happy with this product, I personally haven’t had any negative reaction to it. I will probably repurchase when I’m out, but a little goes a long way so it’ll be awhile.Kyle A.

I wish I’d taken before photos to compare. Always cleansed and moisturised my skin with decent quality products but in January my skin was making me look old, it was dull and I was constantly battling texture, clogged pores on nose and build up of rough surface layer that looked dreadful under makeup. Now use a range of good molecules products and my skin looks smoother, brighter and more youthful. I’m not needing to rely on harsh physical exfoliants either. Started with niacinamide and once I knew my skin tolerates it I added the gentle retinol cream. These both improved my skin, recently added the pineapple exfoliating powder and vitamin C powder which further improved my skin. Squalane oil is nice to layer on afterwards to soothe skin. Does require research/reading info to check which products you can use together though but totally worth it.CC

I'm very weary about trying out new skincare products after having dealt with hormonal and cystic acne from the ages of 16-20. By 20, I received a medical diagnosis that explained why my skin got the way it got, and with treatment for said diagnosis, my skin has been doing really well ever since. I have been left with acne scars (ice pick scars) that have smoothed out naturally over time and lots of aloe vera, but was ready to try something new. THIS PRODUCT completely changed the game for me!! My skin was smooth the NEXT day, and using it twice a day as instructed made a very noticeable difference after four days of use. It does tingle/burn when you apply it to open wounds or freshly popped acne, but the scar lets up and is gone by the morning. Wonderful product. I couldn't recommend it more 🙂ayanna_99

I had been buying the UFO oil for a few years and while I liked how it felt on my skin, I didn't notice a huge difference. My mom let me try her Good Genes one time and I loved the instant plumping effect and dewy finish. I ended up splurging on my own bottle and so far it's definitely been worth it. I have ridiculously finicky skin that breaks out if the wind blows the wrong way but I haven't had any issues with this product (or any Sunday Riley products for that matter). I've been using Good Genes for a few months now and it seems to have helped even my skin tone. I'm 22 so I bought it to just generally improve the appearance of my skin, but my mom really likes using it in combination with a retinol for wrinkles. The main thing I love is that immediate improvement you can see– the day after using it, my skin is always bouncy and glowing. I use it a few times a week, and I don't need too much to cover my face and neck, so I think the bottle will probably last me a while. Either way, I think it's worth it. It's definitely the best Sunday Riley product I've tried so far (as compared to UFO oil, Lunar oil, and CEO serum).hrbeach

The reviews are true. This is amazing stuff. It helps to keep my complexion nice, free and clear of zits. But you definitely need to do a double cleanse before applying oils and serums, and layering this on top. It has a bit of a strong smell with thick consistency, and definitely stings until you get used to it. I was unsure but it took about 10 days for me to start seeing results. This is definitely something that sensitive skin folks will have to build up to, I used to use it every other day as part of my nighttime skin care routine. Now I use it every day, morning and night. It sloughs dead skin cells off very gently, and works really well under moisturizer. My skin looks fresher, younger, and my acne seems to be more under control. I have several different sizes of it, including the super jumbo size that I bought during a holiday sale at Macy’s.rosie.k

When I discovered this line and this product years ago I was hooked. Good genes was exactly what the doctor ordered when it came to my skin. It was lovely and worked so well. Skin was dewy, brighter, hydrated and my skin looked better and better. Makeup set perfectly on top of it. I could tolerate it from the first smear. I showed it daily and stocked up during sales. NOT THE NEW FORMULA. I don't know what changed exactly. But first wear with this new formula and I broke out with cystic acne. Yes I know that hormones etc can cause cyclic cystic acne. But this was from the product. I even continued to use it with the same results. Then I even tried it as a mask with the clay cleanser thinking my skin somehow became too sensitive for good genes. Well the same acne came around again!. so disappointed… That's around the time when I realized they changed the product formula. It feels the same going on and my skin looks good and bright and hydrated like the old formula, But it has caused the worst cysts and acne on my face:(Killpretty

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this product has completely transformed my skin. Since I was a teenager, I would suffer from acne and redness, mostly lots of small bumps (closed comedones) all over my forehead and around my nose. I've tried all sorts of products – lots of strong, drying cleansers, topical treatments, various exfoliators, but honestly just accepted that my skin wouldn't budge. After a few weeks of using this serum, my acne was significantly better. I've used this product twice a day for over a year, and I rarely get acne now, only small red splotches that often vanish overnight. My typical routine now is super simple and basically the same 2x a day; just the Cerave renewing SA cleanser, this TO Niacinamide, then a moisturizer & spf in the AM. I try to exfoliate twice a week, but even in weeks where I fall off this habit, my skin stays clear thanks to this serum. I almost never write reviews for products, but am writing this now so anyone with similar skin issues to me can give this serum a try! I had never tried other niacinamide products before this, so I imagine other niacinamide solutions would also work well for me – but this TO serum is so affordable, I don't plan on trying anything else any time soon.Jess

This serum has been an almost-miracle product for my sensitive, redness-prone, blemish-prone skin. My only qualm with it is that it SERIOUSLY STINGS if you apply it to any active breakouts or broken skin. My skin was in seriously terrible condition due to a Lupus flare and hormonal acne, but after everything healed, I have been able to use this without irritation, following it with the Hyaluronic Acid/B5 serum, Pycnogenol, and Marula Oil (or moisturizing factor lotion). It really has transformed the texture of my skin, to a more noticeable degree than most of The Ordinary's other products (besides the Alpha Lipoic Acid serum, which I miss so much). My pores are refined, especially on my forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks on either side of my nose. Once prone to being easily-inflamed, sensitive areas of my face are no longer red, and now look more smooth. Oily patches, especially my nose, are less-oily. I have fewer clogged pores and blackheads, and less blemishes from irritation. I purchased the 2oz bottle from The Ordinary's website, since I apply this to my chest, upper arms, and back as well, as I sometimes have breakouts from malassezia. It also quickly fades the purple/red post-blemish marks on my very fair skin. It does make my skin feel drier and tight if I don't moisturize thoroughly afterwards, especially during this part of the winter, so keep that in mind. The price also makes it easier to use it liberally where ever I need it. Other than the stinging, it's a fantastic serum for my very high-maintenance, 30-year-old skin.arh

I heard amazing things about this product and did some digging into all the great benefits niacinamide and zinc have for the skin, and it seemed like it would help target my main skin concerns! I was aware of the possibility that I may experience purging and that some people can have allergic reactions but it's incredibly rare to the point where many dermatologists will assume its not an allergy to niacinamide, rather another ingredient present in the product that the person reacted to. I knew niacinamide was meant to help with the skin barrier as well as brightening and texture improvement, all things I struggle with. I did a bit more digging and noticed that the tested amounts shown to be effective and safe for the skin range between 2-5%. To be clear, I'm not saying 10% is bad or dangerous, it's just not as tried and true as that 2-5% range that's been studied many times. Like all new products, I did a 48 hour patch test on my arm as directed by The Ordinary's guidelines, and had no issues. Before starting my routine I used their (very helpful!) resource for when and how often to use specific products and to only introduce one new product at a time to prevent irritation/negative effects. What I'm a little upset about, is the lack of easily accessible information about how this product can cause irritation (among other negative effects) for people with non-oily skin. After about a week of use (3 drops for face and neck), my cheeks became hard like rough leather… I also felt a burning sensation after each use, but really wanted to give it a chance and went back to the basics (cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen) and I still had issues and my skin continued to harden and dry up. I was frustrated and confused because I couldn't find answers as to why I was having such a strange reaction anytime I used this product. Eventually, after much digging, I discovered that this should not be used by those with dry skin, especially at such a high concentration of 10%. I still stand by niacinamide and zinc as skincare ingredients, they are excellent for your skins health and have really helped many people in their skincare journey. This can be a great option for those struggling with acne prone skin and textural irregularities (if you have an oilier skin type). I'm here because I don't want other people with similar skin types to mine to buy this and feel lost or confused if they have a bad reaction. It's not that your skin is being ridiculous or difficult, it just may be that the concentration is too high, or that niacinamide may not be something you use as an active/solo-ingredient in your daily/weekly skincare routine. I challenge The Ordinary to include a section under this product outlining that if you have dry skin, that this product may cause issues, or better yet, offer a niacinamide product formulated for people with dry and/or sensitive skin to increase inclusivity. All in all, I hope whoever chooses to read this lengthy review, that you feel more informed and empowered to make a confident decision for yourself. By no means do I dislike The Ordinary, I LOVE all the other products I have from them! I just wish I had been advised about the potential issues if you don't have more of an oily/combo skin type.MMB

For the first two weeks of using the Glass skin series, I had the most radiant skin of my life – my skin has been clear for years, thanks to Korean Skin care & a clean diet, but the Glass skin brought out a gorgeous otherworldliness. And then… the cystic acne. And cluster acne. Aiee…. I really want to love this stuff, and I've read that the acne can happen because of the greater cell turnover due to the hyaluronic acid, so I'm now experimenting with steaming my face nightly, and have also moved down from two pumps of the glass skin serum morning & night (to my face and neck) to just one pump at night, mixed with organic argan oil. Then I apply the Matcha cream. (And on top of that, if I think a little more moisture might help, I put on some Cerave, just because it's less speedy.) It's possible this might help… TBD! At this point I won't repurchase, obv, but if these changes help, wow, I'd re-buy forever. That said, I'd love advice anyone has – This stuff is absolutely worth a shot, but with caution…Paula S.

I bought this on a whim back in May because I was in the market for a serum, I love K-beauty, and had heard good things about this brand. I went all in on the regular sized bottle despite the price and I'm so glad I did. This stuff has transformed my skin so much. I'm extremely pale and prone to redness and uneven skin tone/texture but ever since I started using this regularly every night before bed, my skin has looked 100x more even, softer/smoother, and it just has this lovely glow that I never had before. I hardly feel the need to use much if any concealer/foundation anymore because my skin just looks that good. The texture of the product is smooth and feels really nice when applying. I just use a fingertip's worth on each section of my face; it doesn't take much so this bottle should last a while. I will say that I have found that my skin tends to get a little flaky the next morning if I don't follow this up with a moisturizer, so I would definitely recommend always moisturizing after or possibly staying away if you are prone to super dry skin. My skin is fairly normal so just a bit of moisturizer after application does the trick and keeps my glowy skin baby soft. As part of a solid routine, this stuff is amazing.Mikayla

This review has been a long time coming. I have been using this product since November of 2021. I cringe at the reviews for not giving a product ample amount of time to work. It's not a few time use to get the results, it's not instant. A lot of people were mentioning they break out and that's fair. But you need to realize your skin is purging the prior toxins. Skin regenerates, like your lashes shed. You can basically describe me as a skin cake junkie. Its done wonders on my skin in the past 8 months. Nowadays, I barely put any powder. It's leaves my skin a perfect foundation for primers to put on make up. When you're using a product with hyaluronic acid you need to add it to moist skin. (I didn't know that at first-research before your dump it) If you don't, it will dry out your skin (hence the break outs). I use this serum with the glass skin veil mist. When you put the two products together it is prime! You'll need to dab the serum on your skin until you get a slightly tacky texture. When you reach that point, then add your moisturizer. I hope this helps others to understand the steps of skin care.SimplyLainey

I have had acne-prone skin for as long as I can remember. Thankfully, I never broke out severely, but every month I get one or two pimples that pop up. Oh, and please let’s not even begin to talk about the acne I get when I’m stressed. As a beauty expert for over 20 years in places that include Macy’s and Sephora, I have tried numerous products and programs to try to keep those breakouts under wraps. And while finally developing a great skincare routine has definitely helped, I still get hormonal breakouts. Enter: Versed Just Breathe Clarifying Serum. This magic potion includes some amazing ingredients like Willow Bark Extract, Zinc, Niacinamide and caffeine. White Willow Bark is a natural BHA that gently exfoliates. Zinc is an antioxidant that helps prevent acne, as well as fight and prevent free radicals and environmental damage. Niacinamide is notorious for brightening the skin and making it appear more youthful, while also being an anti-inflammatory property that helps fight future breakouts. I’ve been using this, faithfully, twice a day, every day. After washing my face (or rinsing in the AM) and then toning, I squeeze a dropper-full into my hands, rubs them together and then press the serum into the skin on my face and neck. I love that Versed is cruelty free- something that is very near and dear to my heart. I also love their packaging. Their label creates a very classic, sophisticated look to all of their packaging. Plus, they are vegan, sulfate free, paraben free and non-toxic. They are truly “clean”. I’ve been using this for a few weeks and I definitely notice a difference in my skin, so this will most definitely be a permanent step in my skincare routine.kimberlynicole

As a licensed esthetician, my daily beauty routine is important to me. Keeping my skin as clear and healthy as possible is a passion for me. However, I have ADHD along with other mental health struggles that make skincare difficult at times. That’s where this serum comes in for me. I don’t typically have problematic skin, but I definitely notice when the consistency of my skincare routines is lacking. Over the past month of trying out this serum, it’s become my go-to “fix” for when I end up skipping a routine or two (or three.) Rather than beating myself up over falling behind, I use those moments for extra selfcare. Slathering this clarifying serum on and letting it soak in before my moisturizer has become my saving grace. With one use my skin feels soothed, and I’ll use it a few more times before my skin feels back to normal. I’ve been fortunate to try out several Versed products through BeautyTap, and this is yet another great one I’m happy to add to my skincare arsenal.nicolethersa

This serum is absolutely amazing. I've been using it a few times a week for about 3 weeks now, and honestly my skin has changed so much! It used to be dry, patchy and dull and now it is incredibly smooth and radiant. I've tried so many skin care products but Artnaturals are by far the best I've ever tried. I’m a bit disappointed because it arrived so late.Sandra

I have used a couple of Glycolic Acid products and this is my favorite. The dropper applicator makes it easy to use. The product is thick without being sticky. I have been using for 1 week at night (and using the hyaluronic acid serum in the morning) and have seen a great improvement in my skin texture and brightness. My pores are smaller and my skin is smooth and bright. The number of blackheads and whiteheads visibly reduced. I have sensitive skin, I have not had any redness, burning or other negative side effects.AgingGracefully

I cannot tell you enough how effective this serum has been in just five days. I'm a skincare junkie and love to test out all sorts of products, but this one honestly is the fastest acting serum at a reasonable price that helped smoothen my skin tone and lightened my dark spots from sun damage. I’ll be getting more of this serum.Essie

This was a lovely trial product I received from Beautycrew. The La Roche-Posay Pure Niacinamide 10 Serum is such a beautiful product. It comes presented in a white box (a purple coloured bottle pictured on it). Inside is the capped glass bottle and in a separate compartment is the glass dropper. The purple bottle contains 30ml and the serum is made in France. The Niacinamide Hyaluronic Serum is almost fragrrance free and is a creamy whiite consistancy. After cleansing and toning, both morning and evening I applied two drops from the dropper (occasionally three) directly to my skin and very gently massaged it in to my face and neck. As it easily absorbed I was able to then apply my day and night moisturisers repectively. Using the serum has resulted in my skin feeling hydrated and definitely smoother and softer. My complexion I feel looks brighter and less tired. I have been looking with interest as I have one small brown spot on my face and it has definitely faded as have two on my hand which I have been applying a little serum to as well. (In way of an experiment). When applying the serum I always avoided near my eyes and used my eye cream in that area. This dermatological Serum is very suitable for all skin types and is particularly so for those who have sensitive skin.Gillian A.

I am very impressed with the improvement of my skin since using this serum. Firstly, the bottle is stunning and just so happens fits well with my bedroom decor. It’s super easy to use with the dropper, I used whatever was in the dropper and what was left on the dropper, I used the palm of my hand to take off before putting the dropper back to avoid any waste. I love the glowy colour of the serum , it doesn’t have a smell as such so really easy to apply. It’s a great consistency that allows for application with ease. I used the serum day and night as the dark spots and pigmented skin were plenty. I saw an improvement instantly with regards to brighter complexion and it maintained hydration well. After two weeks I saw improvements with regard to the dark spots and pigmented skin. However, it does require consistency to see any improvements. I’m looking forward to seeing further improvement with continued use. The best part is that I am confident to go make up free too now which means this serum is actually life changing for me. If you are looking to try something that will give your skin a glow, glides on like silk then this is the product. Also if you have sensitive skin, then I feel like this product would be perfect. Usually these types of serum can make my skin red and sometimes irritated but I felt like I didn’t get any redness or burning at all.Lori T.

I feel that the La Roche-Posay skin care range is overall at the top level in sensitive skin care and this new Niacinamide 10 serum is no exception. It suited my skin very well while I tried it over the past few weeks. It comes with a pipette in the box so you need to place it into the bottle to start applying the product which is very easy to use. After ensuring my face was cleansed and pat dried, I applied two drops on my fingers and massaged it into my skin both morning and at night. I found the serum to be easily absorbed and it gave my skin an instant plump, hydrating feeling with little sticky residue. The hyaluronic acid in this serum helped a lot in making my skin feel plump and supple throughout the day, a very fresh feeling. I could also see that the Niacinamide 10 helped with a bit of rosiness I have on my upper cheeks, evening out the rosiness and reducing sensitivity to that area. I do feel over time with extra use that this product may help further with my skin rosiness concern and help with sun damaged skin which causes pigmentation spots on the face, but I have to use it for longer. After the serum absorbed into the skin I also tried applying my La-Roch Posay sunscreen face cream in the morning over this product and it was fantastic! The serum did not feel like it was stripping off. Overall, I loved the fresh and hydrating feeling it gave to my skin. My skin barrier felt protected and calm during this trial and I will be continuing to use this product to see further results. Thanks Beauty Crew for allowing me to try this product.Raffaela A.

I randomly picked this up two weeks ago because my skin had been a little dry which isn’t normal for me. I am in LOVE. I don’t think I’ve had a pimple since, my skin is so even (no dry patches) and I feel like my skin tone is more even too. It isn’t overly moisturizing. At first I thought it would be a little sticky but after 3 seconds if was dry and super soft. I’ll definitely be buying this again when I’m out!Em

This serum does what it says it does; gets rid of skin congestion! I was already using other serums and acne meds, but since I got this I’ve only used it and just my moisturizer after. My skin is noticeably calmer looking. The overall texture has improved greatly. I it is super AMAZING.Diane

Since getting older, I have struggled with my skin not being like it once was. My face now has some redness, uneven skin tone, roughness, and it just looks so dull. When it comes to facial products, it's hard for me to find one that works and won't make my face oiler or break me out. This serum has helped me out so much. My face looks so much healthier and bright and it feels so smooth now. It is very easy to apply and absorbs really good.Janet

I have now been using this beautiful serum for the past three weeks and my God after having a baby my skin needed it so badly. This super oil in serum is super soothing, hydrating and smoothing with over 3000 golden bubble that preserve the powerful immortal essential oil. The first thing that struck me about the serum was the aromatic experience. I absolutely love the scent of flower and ypu feel clean and fresh after applying the serum. The second feature of this serum is definitely that there is no oily residue or greasiness left behind once rubbed into the skin. My skin soaked it up like a cold long island iced tea on a hot summers day! My skin after a long time felt hydrated, smoother and more plump after the fisrt few uses. I would have loved to try the immortal cream with it to see how they accompany each other but i the cream will definitely be my next purchase. I highly recommend this serum for all skin types and ages especially coming into summer! Thank you L'occitane for another beautifully produced item xxxRemina

This is the best skin care product in L'occitane. I have been using this for past few years and started with 30ml then 50ml and now is 75ml bottle size. I applied it every night before I sleep, You just need 1 1/2 pump to applied a whole face. It just like a booster to help your skin grow again. Another morning will realise the skin looks brighter and growing again. It is a reset! I love to see the yellow bubbles, it is all the essentials bubbles. The smell is good. The new version of reset oil-in-serum is even more condense. I love this product.Kah Y.

The L’Occitance immortelle reset oil in serum is a lightweight serum filled with Immortelle essential oil. It absorbs very fast after apply into the skin and not leave it feeling sticky. The serum gives skin a hydration boost and helps to reset our skin over the night, left glowing & smooth in the morning. It also helps to reduce my skin dullness, against fatigue and intend to quickly repair and strengthen my skin barrier. The fragrance is light and gentle on the skin as well. My skin looks fresher, soften, glowing and healthy with less sensitive after this. I’m very satisfy with the serum and will continue to use it to say goodbye with dehydration.Fujiko T.

I have never had a complexion to brag about. That is until almost 4 years ago when I began a journey into the unknown with GoPure! But this journey felt different from day one and I have added to my journey with all the different products and was pleased anything I have ever experienced and I figured it could never get any better. WRONG! The Niacinamide serum has totally changed my complexion by shrinking my pores to the point that I can barely see them. I am so thrilled with the results I have had with ALL of their products! People are surprised when I tell them my age! People thought I was my sister’s daughter and she’s 6 years older than me!! Thanks GoPure!!Terri T.

I already use many GoPure products, so when this serum was introduced, my first reaction was No! No more! But at some point I peeked at the description, realized it targets most of my issues, and decided to give it a try. Wow! It’s my new favorite serum. I have issues with psoriasis (my body hates me!), and lately it has creeped onto my face leaving red scaly patches in its wake. This serum calms the redness and dryness dramatically. It feels luxurious when it goes on, yet packs a powerful punch. I use it at night and wake up to results. It’s another GoPure product I wanted to hate but absolutely love.Liesl F.

I can honestly say that I’ve struggled with my skin most of my adult life. At 44 I’ve tried countless products all claiming to even skin tone and reduce pore size, although never actually. That is until goPure. Very happy and grateful to have found this amazing product. It has given a fresh new confidence to face each day makeup free, which is very new for me. If you’re someone who’s been struggling with uneven skin tone, larger pore, and breakouts, then I highly recommend this product!Kelly B.

I have tried an array of various serums over the years and this is by far the best one I have ever used! I suffer from oily skin and my pores always appear large. I have been using this product for the past week and I am already super impressed! When I put my foundation on, I can’t believe the noticeable change in the size of my pores! It is such a dramatic difference! My face also feels so soft, hydrated and most importantly my pores look so much smaller! I love being confident in my own skin again! This serum is very lightweight and I love that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily like other products that I have tried. I use this serum each morning after washing my face and before applying my makeup. This product also works fabulous as a primer! A small amount of this serum definitely goes a long way! This serum absorbs into your skin fairly quickly and you will immediately notice how soft your skin feels! I can’t wait to see the results with continued use of this product! I definitely recommend this product and it will continue to be a part of my daily beauty routine!Crystal19

The SMOOTH Pore Minimizing Serum is a very nice product. It starts with cool packaging. I love the push-down dropper piece. The serum goes on very easily. It's just the right consistency, not too thick, not sticky but not watery or runny either. It has just enough body to flow over the skin nicely giving good, even coverage. When I apply it immediately after cleansing I do experience a slight stinging sensation, nothing uncomfortable but it is noticeable. I have found that if I wait a few minutes after cleansing before I apply SMOOTH Pore Minimizing Serum I don't have the stinging sensation. The serum leaves my skin feeling super soft and velvety and does seem to blur the apperance of my pores some. It also works nicely as a primer helping my foundation smooth evenly and easily across my skin. I really like the SMOOTH Pore Minimizing Serum, it does a good job and I am experiencing the results just like it says I will.mejpye

The Mele Smooth Pore Minimizing Serum works extremely well on my skin. It leaves it dry AND soft around my more oily areas around the nose and forehead. The bottle is interesting as well as it similar to a dropper. You pump the solution and you place the dropper on you face. It typically takes one or two small drops to cover each major area. The application leaves skin soft..not dry or irritated. I wish overall that it did not have a scent. It has a soft men’s cologne type scent which actually more noticeable before you put it on (or my nose just used to it.) The scent makes it a little more difficult to wear a perfume without avoiding mixing two scents. It’s not overpowering but for some with sensitive noses this may be an issue. Follow the directions as this is ness applied in the mornings before any makes up. As far as a makeup setter I do not notice much difference but I don’t wear concealers or powders much to recognize much effects. Overall, I do like the Smooth Pore Minimizing Serum to make my skin soft and even out the ools in my skin.Crystalpower

I hate to give this a 1 star because it actually works. It doesn’t break my skin out or burn, and it actually evened out my skin tone and made it smoother. Why the negative review then? I can not in all good conscience recommended this to anyone I know or a stranger because the price per portion is absolutely insane. $24 for 0.5oz?!! That’s ridiculous, and the larger one is even a higher mark up. The Ordinary makes an equally great one for 1.0oz and it’s like $16. Change the price or make it bigger. Until then I will not be repurchasing or recommending.Heather

I read reviews before purchasing this product and read that it smelled awful, but I thought it couldn’t possibly be that bad. No, it’s terrible. So bad that the first time applying it I nearly threw up about 3 times with it sitting on my face. HOWEVER, the applications after the first weren’t bad at all and I was used to it. I promise after the first run it’s not bad and it’s completely worth your time. This product makes my skin glow for real. I’ve only experienced a very small purge that was literally nothing compared to how my face reacts to other skincare products typically. I could see a difference after a few days of application twice a day and my skin is already looking so smooth and more even toned. Blemishes that were an issue before starting the serum are almost nothing now and i’m genuinely more confident in my skin!!Spencer W.

First the packaging is very cathy because of the light blue boxing and labels. This is a different type of drops bottle that I've seen before. Very wide enough for more product. And made of glass. Directions were well easy to understand as well as the ingredients etc. The dropper is made of glass as well and holds a lot of product when using. I apply this serum twice a week in my morning and night skincare routine after cleaningand toner. The scent is very very much citrus and just like squeezed oranges. The texture is runny so be careful! But thickens up a bit when rubbed in. Glides on pretty well and not too oily. I would recommend using sparsely you don't want to be super moisturized. You can definitely notice right away the moisture from this serum. My skin feels very hydrated, soft and breathable. No hars scents, over drying, oiliness nor breakouts. I have hopes to notice my dark spots disappearing soon but we shall see in due time. Overall, I believe this serum can be a game changer for me. It works for my sensitive, oily, dark spots and aging skin. And it isn't irritating.ashiah.w

This is a wonderful product. Lately I haven’t been able to find it on the shelves. This is the best cell renewal face cream to use prior to your make up or even your moisturizer. It is silky smooth and feels nice on your face. I would definitely recommend it as I have used it for yearsDiane

I bought this on Amazon and it arrived today. I used ot in my nightly face routine and I am SO glad I bought it. The packaging is sleek and elegant, it also has a beautiful shimmer in the serum. It smells amazing and expensive. This makes my skin feel so soft and hydrated. Depending on the longtime results, this will be a must have in my medicine cabinet.mary.t

I received this as a Christmas gift. I really like the formula I notice that my skin has been looking much better since using this product. My eyes and overall skin have been looking more brightened and the fine lines are looking great. I have dry skin and it seems to drink up this product which does not leave any stickiness to my skin. A great product for both day and night. I use it under my makeup, it is very nice it does not cause my make to move considering is a cell renewal product. The only draw back to this product is the smell I wish the fragrance wasn't so strong; I have allergies to floral scents therefore; this is a problem since it does have a strong floral scent. Thankfully it doesn't last too long so I am not too affected. Change the scent and this product would be a number one for me.jacqueline.d

I'm in my mid 30s, workout 2+ hours daily, and needed something that would help with acne, lines, etc. I have very oily skin and living in So. Florida doesn't make it any better. I've tried many products including Estee Lauder, Clinique, Origins, etc. Origins worked well for my face but about a month or so ago I started breaking out horribly on my forehead, cheeks, and chin. I decided to try the Nip + Fab line after reading the reviews and couldn't be more impressed with the results after one use. I noticed my skin was smooth, less lines than before, brighter, the acne cleared up a bit but not completely. I've been using the line for a week now and have received so many compliments. I no longer wear foundation to cover up my spots and blemishes, my complexion is smooth. I still have a few pimples here and there but not as much as before. Extremely happy with my purchase.CPetti

I don’t love it, the smell is very over-powering and if you use even a little bit too much, it doesn’t absorb. Very sticky on hands and as said, if you don’t use EXACTLY the right amount, it dries sticky and flakey on your face. Won’t be buying again once I’ve used this bottle but too expensive to wasteSarah C.

I was having issues with dry patches on my skin due to harsh winter weather and my moisturizers weren't seeming to help at all. I had been exfoliating with a scrub once weekly and that helped somewhat, but I definitely still had texture issues when I was applying makeup. I decided to buy a product with a chemical exfoliant but I didn't want to spend too much money, so I decided on this. It has helped tremendously. I use it about twice weekly because my skin is sensitive, but this combined with the skyn Iceland arctic face oil has really rescued my skin. It is somewhat sticky but that doesn't bother me because I put it on at night before bed and after about 10 minutes I put an oil on top. A lot of these reviews say there's a bad smell but perhaps that was an old formula because it just smells like grapefruit. I think it's a really great value for the money. It is difficult to find skincare products that actually work and do what they promise… so that is why I am recommending this!Sarah

I feel like I'm still somewhat in the testing phase of this product, but honestly it's pretty awesome so far. It definitely gives that Dewy finish. It has the consistency of a thick serum. I've used it under and over other base products without any problems. That's what I love most about it. It doesn't cause other products to separate at all when used over the top. Such a nice glow without any sparkle or glitter. I would absolutely repurchase this again. I have nothing else like this formula in my entire collection. A very unique product and definitely worth all the hype!heather.d

I was accidentally sent this from Glossier and they told me to keep the product, and I was surprisingly impress by this. The serum immediately makes my skin looks hydrated and healthy. It gives me the classic Instagram glow. What surprises a lot of people is that the texture is on the sticky/tacky side rather than milky. My issue with this is that it doesn't stay all day – it probably lasts ~3-4 hours. In addition, be careful with your cleansing routine on this – you should wash this completely off your face so you don't breakout.christy.y

I recently purchased this “future dew” by glossier because I have seen the product all over the place but never tried it. You can only get the product by purchasing online, so I bought it. They had a sale going on that with a 60$ purchase you received a FREE bottle of future dew also, so I got two brand new bottles and I’m happy. Future dew is definitely a interesting product. If I’m not wearing any makeup or foundation, I apply this future dew alone by itself and I love the dewy glow it gives me. The product smells just like any other facial beauty oil, it’s not offensive, and smell goes away pretty fast. It does have a sticky texture to it, but it dries after being on your face. This is a wonderful primer for under foundation also, specially if you appreciate the luminosity or glow within on your face. This product is a multitasker. It can be used on the high points of the face, brows, highlighter, your chest, ect. I’m so glad I received two bottles, because I’ve been using this every day since I got it. It’s not a watery texture, it’s more of a sticky thick but thin texture. The color is like a glowy beige but doesn’t show up like that on the skin. This is a universal skin care product, so all can benefit from this one! It’s actually beautiful on the more darker complexions. It’s beautiful on all skin tones is what I’m trying to say. The price of this is very fair and reasonable. The appearance and feel of this bottle is super luxurious, glass, and visually pleasing on the eyes. I used to be a package “W****” until I got older and realized it’s not what the product looks like on the outside, but what are the benefits? I give this future dew 5 stars for all ages, skintones everything. It’s a multitasking product and works wonders to give your face some natural glow! Go buy it!christina.r

I've suffered from a mild form of hormonal acne for 15 years and I've had both major and minor breakouts which caused hyperpigmentation and (fortunately) very few scars. My skin texture has improved significantly after only one month of use and the red and dark spots are slowly starting to fade out. I break out A LOT less and the small pimples that actually come out look way less inflamed and swollen than before; they usually dry out in 24/36 hours. My skin overall feels more hydrated and softer. I use it both at night and in the morning (when I'm not going out since it can make your skin more sensitive to light) and in addition to C2 and M3. It's really made a huge difference for me: I feel more confident and less self-conscious about my acne and for the first time in years I feel that there's hope for my skin to recover. I'll use this forever!Claudia

Summary: Used a WHOLE bottle of this serum and my skin looked its best ever! So, Im 30 year old skin of colour person. I have very dry sensitive acne prone dull skin so its very tricky to find a suitable product and NEVER has a product worked well for me. While i was using this serum i had a natural glow, my blemishes all disappeared and texture was a LOT better. Ever since i finished every drop of this serum in the bottle none of my blemish came back! Its been over a month ( almost two months) since i finished the bottle due to busy routine i couldn't reorder so my pigmentation is reappearing and texture is again getting a bit rought however i still have zero new blemish! P.s: i used this product in conjuction with clarifying cleanser. However i applied this a lot more regularly than the cleanser.Asna

About to buy my second bottle. This is a great and very gentle product. It really does help my combination acne/breakout-prone skin. I especially notice the difference when I have to wear face masks for 12h a day. I apply a few drops (less is more) in the evening every other day followed by a basic moisturiser (I use tretinoin on alternate days) and can really tell the soothing and calming effect it has on my skin, in addition to preventing and/or treating existing breakouts). I also have the 15% azeleic acid serum which is great but found that this one works just as well (you don’t always have to go for higher concentration, lower % can work just fine). Great product and I would really struggle to find an alternative for it that combines all those ingredients and delivers the result this serum does for this price. 10/10Sofia
