Minimalist Panthenol (Vitamin B5) Moisturizer for Oily & Acne Prone Skin | Hydrates skin & Repairs Damage | For Women & Men | 1.7 Oz / 50 gm

I have acne-prone and textured skin, and it’s hard to find a moisturizer that hydrates without breaking me out. This one is amazing—very lightweight, absorbs fast, and gives my skin a soft, healthy look without feeling greasy. After using it consistently, my skin feels calmer and more balanced. It works really well with my salicylic acid products and has never irritated my skin. My face stays hydrated all day, and it has helped reduce that tight, dry feeling after cleansing. If you struggle with acne, clogged pores, or dehydration, this moisturizer is a great option. Honest review: it won’t magically erase acne, but it keeps the skin barrier strong and makes everything else work better.

I wasn’t expecting much from this moisturizer, but wow — this little tube understood the assignment. My skin is usually oily by lunchtime, and most moisturizers either sit on top of my face or make me look like I deep‑fried something. This one absorbs fast, feels lightweight, and somehow keeps my skin balanced without that greasy shine. The texture is smooth, not sticky, and it layers well under sunscreen. I’ve also noticed fewer random breakouts since using it consistently. For the price, it honestly performs better than some of the “fancy” brands I’ve tried. If you have oily or acne‑prone skin and want something simple, clean, and effective, this is a solid pick. I’ll definitely repurchase.

Overall, I think this is a good moisturizer, especially for those with oily skin(that’s also simultaneously dry, and not combination as in one patch dry, one patch oily. No, I have a whole face that produces enough oil that I could fry chicken with while also being dry and itchy and if it gets bad enough flaky. Don’t ask me why, I just live in it.) like myself. It’s one of the only moisturizers, oil-based or otherwise, that both hydrates and doesn’t make my face greasy. That being said, there are things I both like and dislike about it. Pros: Non-greasy, relatively simple ingredient list(though I don’t know if I’d call it minimalist as the brand name says), moisturizing, makes a good base for makeup, nice texture, good size for the price. Cons: It smells awful. If you have a strong nose like I do it smells almost like old liquor, and it’s terrible. But it’s also fragrance free, so that’s the price we pay(willingly). You’ll sometimes need to use a lot if you’re extra extra dry, but that is also to be expected with a non-oil based moisturizer. The tube design is really annoying, both early on but most especially when you get to the end. I’d pay a little extra for it to come in like a glass container or something.

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 skin 2) 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 through 3) 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 morning All that aside though I’m pretty happy with the product itself. Everyone’s skin is different; don’t knock it til you try it!

My favorite moisturizer. Even after the first use, I was impressed. It's been hard to find the right balance of hydration, lasting moisture, and a lightweight feel while still giving my skin added benefits. I have combination skin, and this leaves my face feeling moisturized without feeling heavy or greasy. I noticed a difference by the second application. Definitely my go-to from here on out.

I started this product at the same time I began my whole routine to help with rosacea, acne, and overall redness. I had horrible acne in month 1, but by month 2 I was better and my redness and rosacea were gone! My skin hasn't been this good since I was a kid! I have the full routine (super cheap+easy but soooo effective) if anyone wants to copy it. Morning: Salicylic Acid cleanser (Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser), then Vitamin D serum (The Ordinary), then Aloe Vera moisturizer (just from Walmart lol) Night: Benzoyl cleanser (PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash), then Niacinamide serum (The Ordinary), then this

I really wanted to like this moisturizer and have been using it consistently for the past 2 weeks. However, despite it being a great value and having clean ingredients, it unfortunately does not agree with my rosacea/acne prone skin. It has a very sticky texture and causes me to break out in small acne bumps/milia. I sadly wouldn’t recommend this to anyone with very sensitive, irritation prone skin.

As with all Minimalist products I have never been disappointed with their products. This stuff works great and even after one use I noticed a difference. I have very oily and blemish prone skin, and this doesn't make me feel greasy or shiny at all. There is no fragrance and that is a plus! This stuff works amazingly as with all the Minimalist products, never a disappointment.

This product works very well for oily to normal skin . It moisturizes very quickly and the skin absorbs it very fast .

It's a good moisturizer and it hydrates my skin, there's no specific fragrance and it's super light weight, it lasts pretty long on my face, the only problem is like if the quantity is too much it makes my face too shiny since I like matte finish on my skin i didn't liked the shiny effect.

Please add to your skin care routine

The only face cream I could find that clearly stated it was oil free, fragrance free and hypoallergenic. I needed it in combination with prescription acne cream which is very drying. This cream moisturised without being overly greasy and it absorbed quickly into my skin. It's fairly light.

Great, son loves it and helped his acne
