Hi everyone! I’m looking for a more gentle alternative to The Ordinary’s Nicinimide 10% and Zinc 1% serum. 

I use prescription retinoids to treat my acne and find the 10% nicinimide too intense on my skin to use regularly.

I was wondering if anyone had any good alternatives for oily/sensitive skin? 

I’m based in the U.K. if that helps for product recommendations that might be accessible to me.

Thanks in advance😊

Gentle alternative to The Ordinary’s Niacinamide?

Hey guys! Do you have any non-comedogenic foundation recommendations? 

I have oily acne prone skin and try not to wear foundation too often so I make my skin worse. It’d be great if I could find a non-comodogenic foundation that I can wear for special occasions or weekends and not worry about it making my skin substantially worse. 

I live in the U.K. so foundations available for sale there would be ideal.

I’m open to trying any brands/formulas.

Thanks so much in advance for your help🌸

Non-Comedogenic Foundation Reccomendations

I cant use this every day as it makes my skin tingle&#47;itch after i use it. It doesnt cause redness or irritation, just surface level itchiness for the first half hour after i use it

Prescribed by my dermatologist for acne (pregnancy safe unlike a lot of acne treatments), havent noticed a huge difference in my acne yet but it has only been a few weeks

Too strong to use every day for me. It dries me out because I also use retinoids

Very affordable and effecfive for my oily&#47;acne-prone skin

Sometimes it’s not moisturing enough for my skin as i use retinoids

Really gentle and light consistency. Works well for oily skin!

Has a chemical smell and is too strong for me to use regularly

A great exfoliator and has been helpful in fading acne scars

Affordable and lightweight. Ive only used a few times so cant confirm the effectiveness
