I really love the ordinary's niacinamide, it works well for me. however, i have no more funds since i'm just a student and couldn't afford a new bottle of it and i'm so close to emptying it. Any alternative for the ordinary that's cheaper yet effective as well? thank you! 

The Ordinary alternatinve

I&#39;m not lying if I say there isn&#39;t a single thing I find bad about the product. It was literally so good.

NEW HG ALERT! 🍃

This @isntree 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝘂𝗴𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗲 has been on my wishlist for some time now, luckily, I was chosen as a giveaway winner through @go.picky &#39;s event! I was ecstatic to find out I was crossing out another product from my wishlist. 

When I finally got my hands on this, I was really enjoying the packaging, it was elegant. The product comes in a green glass bottle that looks very simple but it&#39;s a real beaut! As for its consistency, the product is runny and light. It easily spreads out and gets quickly absorbed by my skin. It doesn&#39;t make my face oily, it doesn&#39;t leave a tacky feeling. It helps hydrate my dry patches. 

Now for the best part, main question is: IS IT EFFECTIVE? 

Well, make sure to try it out because, It is! I have a combination skin type and I&#39;m acne prone, very acne prone. I struggle with hormonal acne and I always tend to have cystic acne when my period is approaching. Those large painful zits annoys me real bad but I have noticed my skin being calmer whenever I use this. It helps reduce inflammation. Whenever I feel my skin being itchy and irritated, this would save me as well. Hands down to this, I finally understand why a lot of people rave about this, this one makes it in my HG list!

It does contain stearic acid which is comedogenic byt It did not break me out nor did I have new comedones bcs of this product.

My Holy grail sunblock! For someone who has combination and acne prone skin, this sunblock is by far one of the best I have tried. It's budget friendly so you don't have to worry about breaking the bank. It has a gel like consistency which I also love (a big fan of gels). Its very lightweight and Its non sticky as well.

I had new comedones on my forehead area when I used this, I had to stop using it. It has ingredients that can clog the pores (comedogenic ingredients) such as Myristic acid, lauric acid and stearic acid. If you're acne prone, this might not work that well for you.

This cleanser is not drying at all. It doesn't strip off the natural oils in your face.

My HG ampoule!! I usually suffer from hormonal acne and my face would literally flare up and get the worse breakouts whenever its before, during and after the time of the month. This ampoule has helped me clam my skin, my skin was so much better after using this, i only even got a few zits during my period which was very unusual. It also comes with an L-applicator which makes it easier to dispense the product without it touching your face.

Perfect for acne prone skin since its non comedogenic. Very lightweight, non sticky yet hydrating as well. Budget friendly too! A basic moisturizer that won't hurt your pockets.
