Needly | Hydra Vitamin B5 + Niacinamide Serum | Ampoule Real Active Panthenol Plus | For Brightening and Enhance skin barrier

I love it’

After cleansing my face I applied some of this serum before layering with my nightly moisturizer. Some serums can dry tacky and sticky which is not a feeling I like on my face but this one feels pretty light and dries nicely. It has a very light scent which kind of goes away after applying, so you won’t be overwhelmed with any fragrance from this product. Like all beauty products, you can’t really see immediate results and will need several months to see the true results. So far I do like this serum and how it absorbs into the skin. I really like the dropper style bottle, which makes it easy for me to apply and also sanitary.

I love all things skin care and when I find a product that incorporates many of the skin care items I use and love, I am excited to give it a try. This review is just a first impression because I have not been using it for 30 days or more. The bottle comes nicely packaged with a mix of English and Korean text. The bottle is large for a bottle of serum, containing 50 ml. The bottle is pretty, a frosted glass with a white plastic drop applicator and contains both languages written on the bottle. The serum is water-like and easily absorbed into my skin, leaving no sticky, tacky or oily feel. I have very sensitive skin and tested this product on my inner elbow area before applying to my face. I had no reactions with my test site and felt safe trying it out on my face. I experienced no redness, swelling, skin peeling or breakouts. There is a very slight fragrance but it is by no means overpowering (as I hate super fragranced facial serums). The ingredients are listed on the box in English and the first few ingredients are water, panthenol 5%, dipropylene glycol, niacinamide, allantoin, propanediol, illicium verum (anise) fruit extract, betaine, trehalose, tromethamine, butylene glycol, sodium hyaluronate and a few others. I washed my face, applied a toner and used this product before applying my moisturizer and then a full face of makeup. It "played" very well with the other products I used. I do think I will enjoy having this product in my arsenal of skin care products and with the 50 ml size, I feel it will last a long time and be well worth the price. I would definitely recommend.

Would be more helpful if the percentages were listed.

When I first got it, the product was not full, just half of the bottle! I so disappointed.

I admit that I am hooked on serum and won't go away without using it! I've tried a number of different ones, all successful but with varying degrees. The Needly brand is a nice value brand, this bottle is larger than your average serum bottle and a little product goes a long way. The product has an earthy smell (It's the bergamot) that I find neither pleasant nor unpleasant but it may bother some users. I've been using this in the morning before I apply a light layer of foundation. It offers a slight tightening of the skin as well as some brightening. I'm wearing less makeup as we are wearing masks most of the time and adding a serum to my morning makeup routine has proven to be essential.

This is a really good serum for the price. It's a little on the thin side, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it left my skin feeling dewy soft and looking excellent in the morning. I used this in combination with my usual skin care routine which is cleanser/toner/serum/moisturizer and continued to notice positive results towards my skin goals, so I do believe it is an effective product. I also have been noticing that on the days following use of this serum, my pores look much smaller which is like a major win for me! My pores have always been huge so even a temporary shrink is really welcome.Overall I'm super happy with this product and will absolutely recommend it to others. Needly has great buzz on skincare forums and it's easy to see why! If this serum is any indication of the quality of their other products, it's an effective line at affordable prices.

I never cease to marvel at how people give glowing reviews about serums without ever reading the actual ingredients to realize they're being conned with cheap, bad-for-your-skin ingredients that make up the majority of an overpriced serum and all because they trust a "natural" claim slapped on the label. I got this because the Amazon picture only showed the bottle front that has an incomplete list of ingredients, one that doesn't reveal the junk that is in this! It's a waste of money. There are cheaper serums with far higher quality, cleaner, and simpler ingredients than this brand. Do. Your. Research. And don't trust a company label.This is mostly water and dipropylene glycol. It then includes butylene glycol, and a handful of other synthetic emulsifying ingredients that are similar to silicone in their "fake" moisturizing and water-retaining powers but that are no better than basic plastics coating the skin. Common web searches will present a surface answer that these are all perfectly safe and decent ingredients and yes, they won't poison you but they DON'T HELP YOUR SKIN ANY. They are in the same category as mineral oil: a petroleum product that "pretends" to soften skin, etc, but is no better than liquid plastic wrap, will not support cellular turnover, cleanse pores, aid in complexion, or prevent aging. In fact, many of these ingredients actually stifle the body's ability to resist wrinkles and aging over time. Then throw in ethylhexylglycerin, disodium EDTA, and some pretty preservatives for more stuff your skin has to process and shuttle off to your liver to neutralize.Does this have good stuff in it, too? Sure. But it has a higher percentage of cheap, synthetic stuff that's diluting any of the actual skin nutrients and being sold to you for $40 more than it cost to produce in a factory. It literally cost the company less than $5.00 for the actual ingredients in this and it doesn't have any special, secret, expensive elixir in it that is giving it some beautifying power. The BEST ingredient in this is the third to the last ingredient: bergamot oil which you could buy an entire concentrated bottle of for this price and use on your skin over time for better skin-nourishing results and tbh, this serum doesn't even have enough bergamot oil in it to make a difference.
