hey girlies this is my review of my recent purchases from nykaa sale 🥰

i have oily skin and i get a lot of mild breakouts (not full acne) around my forehead and cheeks area. 

as a teen saw a lot of people recommending salicylic acid serum for that so i gave it a try. 

1) MINIMALIST 2% SALICYLIC ACID SERUM - 10/10 - i can officially say that within 2/3 weeks of using this, THIS IS "THE" PRODUCT FOR ANY BREAKOUTS!! it cleared my skin a lot especially my forehead and the texture of my skin has improved very much after using this. although just one thing to keep in mind while using it is IT WILL DRY YOU OUT LIKE CRAZY. i actually checked the inci on their website and this serum is not just salicylic acid serum it has glycolic and lactic acid as well. so it is a bit drying but all you need is a good hydrating moisturizer after this and it will work like a charm. although i didn't like the fact how the brand was not honest about lactic acid and glycolic acid being in their serum. 

2) MINIMALIST VITAMIN B5 MOSTURIZER - 5/10 - i had so many expectations from this mosturizer but it turned out to be a heavy disappointment for me. first of all it smells horrible all chemically - still tolerable what i hate the most is the waxy texture of it. it feels like i have a layer of wax on my face rather than having any "glow" and IT DOESN'T PROVIDE ENOUGH HYDRATION AT ALL!! for the price we are paying for just 50g of this feels like a daytime robbery ngl.  expected better from minimalist but alas!

anyone has any good recommendations for hydrating oil free moisturizer under budget here? SUGGEST ME PLEASE I NEED IT!!
