Beminimalist is an Indian brand that has an amazing range of products on skincare, it is transparent with ingredients and does a good job overall.
The BHA serum is again based on aloe vera juice, so if you have a sensitive skin type then be careful and consult experts before applying.
Now everyone starts with packaging and ingredients, both are good and you can find many reviews on that. What I want to talk about is the experience of the product. Its consistency is runny almost like water and has no smell/ fragrance.
Firstly using acid on the face will peel your skin, yes you may notice the peeled skin if you use this serum.
But this is very mild peeling and you can see the tan peeling off from the face. At first, this bothered me a lot, but after a few uses, it reduced as there was not much tan remaining on my skin to be peeled off. The peeling of skin will stop. So no worries about that if someone is facing that and looking for answers.
If in can case it doesn’t stop after a few uses and if peeling is causing you rashes, purging or any difficulty then stop using the product and reach out to Doc.
Secondly, you might feel mild tingling and itchiness, it might be around lips, nose, or cheeks.
All that is fine as you are using a new product for the first time, this is normal however if it becomes painful or is not going away after some time then you may have to approach for help.
Thirdly you may not see the drastic difference on your blackheads, it removes whiteheads and all the gunk on the skin, exfoliating the skin well, but it will not remove blackheads. it will lighten them by time.
Now coming to its positives it’s an amazing exfoliant for removing tan, pimples, impurities, whiteheads, and of course milia.
Including this serum in your routine is an easy way to remove milia. If you don’t know what’s Mila then watch my video on that topic.
This serum is not too harsh on the skin, it will not tear the skin barrier and after using this exfoliant the other products will get absorbed well.
The next point is Purging may be there and may not be there, I was waiting for purging to happen thinking that the product is not working, it’s not the case for everyone, I have normal to dry skin and I haven’t experienced any purging.
However even if it’s happening, it’s normal up to some time and if it’s in limit. Remember that any new product will take time to work on the skin so be patient. I recommend using it for at least 2-3 weeks to make it compatible with your skin.
Usage: Coming to its usage, I will not recommend using it daily, as that will be too much exfoliation. Alternate days at night will work best.
Don’t use it for morning routines, no matter what your fav influencers or brands say, using acid at Day time might grab sunlight and cause more damage. And I don’t trust your sunscreen application skills so, stay away from it during the mornings.
Layering:
So if you are someone who is using multiple products and want to layer with BHA then is mindful of these things:
- Always dab the product, don’t get influenced by the popular dropping action, the serum may go into your sensitive areas, like eyes or inside of the nose.
- Keep a good gap of 2-5 min
- Don’t layer with other acids or peels.
- Use a good moisturizer
- Always wear sunscreen in the morning, even though you don’t apply it in the morning.
