It will initially feel a bit heavier than other sunscreens I’ve tried. But when it melts into the skin you’re not going to feel like it’s sitting on top of your face. It will leave your skin with a healthy sheen.

Review: Naturium Niacinamide 3% Cleansing Gelée
This cleanser retails for $18 USD on their website which is pretty affordable. It has quite an interesting jelly texture and emulsifies into a creamy lather. The directions say that you can leave it on for 5 minutes as a mask to get the most out of the Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C in the cleanser. We love a multi-use product!

The products contain tyrosinase inhibitors to help reduce the production and the appearance of hyper-pigmentation.
