"I don't like obviously 10%, we want to be going with a 5% and they do have a 5% version so purchase that one. What I love is they've got aloe vera juice as a first ingredient, that's a very different formulation and that means they've gone for a very anti-inflammatory formula, so it's going to be good for sensitive skin. They put in niacinamide of course, it's an emollient humectant, and then their preservatives. It's a very simple formula but it's an anti-inflammatory formula and I really like it."

"The 10 percent niacinamide by Minimalist is very very good. I have personally tried the 10 percent and I love it. This is going to work for all skin types. If you're using other products from Minimalist it might make sense for you to even get this one."
