A little fun fact, Skinstitut is the brand we see the most in your routines consistently, especially the L-lactic cleanser.
I personally think this is due to the very fair entry level price point to the world of cosmeceutical skincare, and it’s stocked almost everywhere, including many clinics.
It’s accessible and often goes on sale- there’s also a 25% off 5 product offer commonly on.
10% Niacinamide Power Serum $69aud, 30ml

This is the richest Niacinamide serum I’ve used which initially intimidated me- but it didn’t cause any congestion.
The richness seems to come from the cucumber oil & the richer blend of emollients and Hume tans. It has probiotics, Niacinamide, Aloe and Cucumber oil as their main ingredient call outs.
This is a good pick for: Drier acne prone friends or acne prone friends who are using stronger retinols which can cause dry skin etc- this will be a good “one and done” to combat it.
“This is a fantastic serum if you’re looking to strengthen the skin barrier and calm the skin.
You also get all those antioxidant benefits from the niacinamide, so it’s a bit of an all-rounder and a great pairing with your hydrating serum if you’re looking to supercharge your winter skincare.”
Gentle Cleanser $52aud/200ml

Although named gentle, there’s a true and rich lather to this one. It’s my current #1 from the brand. I was pleasantly surprised.
It’s not a “useless” gentle cleanser- it cleanses well and could be used in the AM/PM for all skin types. I love the price point ($49 for 200ml, considering it’s a cosmeceutical brand).
Bonus points, it smells nice and is quiet a lovely texture to use. Completely non stripping. It is a tiny bit runny in the tube- heads up! But a price I’m willing to pay for recycling. A little goes a really, really long way…like a pea size for the whole face.

L-lactic cleanser $52aud/200ml

A real crowd pleaser- as voted by you! I enjoy it, but do wish it had more of a lather!
Granted- y’all enjoy how gentle, barrier respecting and non stripping this is. I can see why- it’s lovely and smells like jelly beans too. I’d personally pop this in my routine a few times a week rather than daily- and potentially even in the morning because of the super gentle lather pay off.
