Skin Care Review: Nine Less B-Boost 10% Niacinamide Serum

 

 {PR gift}

I have oily skin, which, in my teen years, was the bane of my existence. I have discovered niacinamide a few years back and that has helped me keep the sebum at bay. However, I found most niacinamide products leave me feeling sticky. Having used this serum for the past few weeks, I can honestly say that has helped with regulating oil production as well as overall skin brightening. Yes, I still have oily skin, but my pimples have calmed down. My skin feels better and I feel better in my skin.

This serum has other ingredients that help with pore care, skin texture, hydration, and irritation. I am impressed by how much the brand has managed to squeeze in into this product: Centella Asiatica, niacinamide, snail mucin, glycerin, panthenol, tranexamic acid, glutathione, and ascorbyl glucoside. They all work together to target multiple skin concerns.

The serum is a bit thick, not runny. It does not leave a tacky feeling. After being absorbed into the skin, the serum leaves a matte finish to my oily skin. I like how lightweight it feels after and it works well with my other skin care products.

Skin Care review: Nine Less A-Control 10% Azelaic Acid Serum {PR gift}

This serum is great for someone like me, who neglected my skin until I was well into my 30s. Hence, I have hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. The azelaic acid formulation of this serum claims to brighten and even out the skin tone, as well as minimise the appearance of fine lines and blemishes. It also has a powerful blend of Centella Asiatica extract, niacinamide, and azelaic acid that help soothe inflammation and irritation. The snail mucin helps with collagen production and hydration. They have also thrown in lactic acid for gentle exfoliation.

In my experience using this serum, I found it best to use in the morning as it is lightweight and absorbs easily into the skin. It also plays well with the makeup that I use. It initially feels tacky but the feeling quickly passes once the serum is fully absorbed into the skin. I have oily skin and I found that this did not feel sticky or tacky, as some niacinamide products do. In my weeks of using this product, I believe that it has delivered on its claims of skin brightening and soothing irritation and inflammation.

Skin Care review: Nine Less UV Shield with Noni & Cica Extract, and Hyaluronic Acid {PR gift}

 

The Nine Less UV Shield is my favourite sunscreen at the moment. As sunscreens go, this is not very different to other Korean sunscreens these days: moisturising, creamy, and has no white cast. It has a subtle, organic scent that is not displeasing. The cream needs to be massaged well into the skin for some time before it absorbs. Once absorbed, it lends a matte, blurred finish to my oily skin. It plays well with the makeup that I use. One of the best things is the ZERO white cast. It leaves my oily skin feeling hydrated but not sticky.

This also ticks all the boxes for those who want fragrance-free, cruelty-free, and vegan products. It has SPF 50+ PA++++. Its active ingredients include Cica extract for its soothing and protective properties and Noni extract for hydration and sunburn relief. It also has a host of well-aging ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin tree extract, which are a bonus for someone like me who's stepping into their 40s soon.

How to use: Apply the sunscreen as the last step of your skin care routine. Massage well into the skin until fully absorbed. Apply makeup after if desired.
