Minimalist10% Vitamin B5 Face Moisturizer for Oily & Acne Prone Skin | Oil Free Fast Absorbing Lightweight Gel | For Women & Men | 1.7 Oz / 50 gm

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 love the texture of this moisturizer! It's very lightweight and works well with my oily skin. I wake up, and my skin feels and looks so smooth.

I have a really bad T-zone, very dry cheeks but my forehead and nose produce enough oil every day to deep fry chicken. I really like this stuff. I can’t say it reduces my own oil production but it feels good to not be putting oil on my face when I know my skin is just going to produce more later. It’s the first time I’ve tried any oil free moisturizers and I was pleasantly surprised when it went on looking matte instead of gross and shiny. It’s lightweight and you don’t feel like you’re caking bacon grease onto your face when applying. The consistency reminds me of petroleum jelly a bit, but if it was a little more gel-like. No irritation or burning, no smell. The reason I left off one star is because of a few minor things-1) it doesn’t spread very far, I definitely have to use a lot more than other oil based moisturizers and I’m afraid I will go through it quickly because of that, and thus have to purchase moisturizer a lot more often than I’ve ever had to, though I do still feel like it’s worth it for the cost because my face does not take well to the oil based stuff, it clogs my pores and just adds to the shininess of my oily skin2) If I have a particularly dry zit that’s healing I have to put on a lot more extra in that spot, whereas with other moisturizers it usually seemed one coat everywhere would cut it. Not with this, I have to go back over after applying everywhere and add an extra dab on my dry zits or else you can see the flaky skin poking through3) I REALLY wish this was in a tub instead of a bottle. I hate having to spend extra effort and time to squeeze out stuff like toothpaste every single day for the last few weeks of the tube’s life. And needing to apply multiple times when I have dry acne to cover up, it’s just a big inconvenience. I would be ecstatic if Minimalist could upgrade this to a tub that I can just screw the lid off of and take a swipe of product however many times I need to every morningAll that aside though I’m pretty happy with the product itself. Everyone’s skin is different; don’t knock it til you try it!

Love this moisturizer! It’s really hydrating without being oily, and it hasn’t made me break out at all. Great thing to add to your skin care routine for a good price!

I great moisturizer for oily face. It does not leave your face sticky and shiny .Great product.

I have a severe allergy after using this product, my eyes and face are swollen and red, and by checking other similar comments, it was most likely for receiving the cream after the expiration date. I received this cream and it expired on Nov 2024. Terrible & dangerous stuff

This moisturizer is okay if you have oily skin but when I would apply, it would never fully dry. Left me with a sticky tacky feeling on my face all day. I did not like this product for my combination skin type

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!
