"Have you noticed how similar, for example, Minimalist is to The Ordinary? Time and money has not been spent on R&D for the Indian skin even in India."

"Minimalist, in my opinion, one to watch for next year. It's fragrance free, it's got some interesting xylol, amino acids, vitamin E, oat kernel, salicylic acid, and multi peptides. I love salicylic acid and I love peptides."
