aPLB brightening and calming

aPLB Glutathione Niacinamide line is a perfect blend of some of my favorite ingredients, AND is available at an affordable price point!

Thoughts/ Review

aPLB Glutathione Niacinamide Line Review

• aPLB Glutathione Niacinamide facial cream review

Great lightweight moisturizer. The aPLB Glutathione Niacinamide Facial Cream is a great lightweight moisturizer, especially for oily skin types. I felt like the moisturizer was hydrating and I also found it slightly brightening. That being said this moisturizer is probably best suited for oily skin types. It is hydrating but probably not moisturizing for dry skin types. 

• aPLB Glutathione Niacinamide Toner Review

Brightening Watery Toner. I was honestly surprised about the aPLB Glutathinoe Niacinamide Toner. It felt like most Korean toners, watery and lightweight. However, I think it stands out from the rest of the toners. In other products with niacinamide, I do not see any result or brightness but with toner, I immediately saw my skin brighter and more even. It was hydrating and I would recommend it for all skin types. This was probably my favorite of the 3 products.

• aPLB Glutathione Niacinamide Serum Review

Decent, but not a favorite. Before using all three products at once, I used the aPLB Glutathione Niacinamide Serum alone. However, I did not see any difference. Even though the serum was supposed to have the highest concentration of the Glutathione Niacinamide complex I did not see any result. It was lightweight and absorbed relatively quickly. If you had to quickly one product from this line, I would probably skip this one product.

So basically:

• • Decent products, all lightweight and brightening
  • My favorite product was the toner, it was brightening
  • Might skip the Serum as I didn’t see much brightening

Overall

aPLB Glutathione Niacinamide Line Review

I think the aPLB niacinamide glutathione is a great affordable skincare brand. If you are looking for affordable lightweight and brightening skincare the aPLB is a great line to try.

• Brightening Niacinamide

Usually, when I use products with niacinamide I don’t see any brightening effect but when I use these products I do notice my skin is a bit brighter

Comparing toner, cream, and serum, I saw a brightening effect when I used all three products. However, I probably saw the least amount of brightening from the serum. So I might skip the serum.

• Lightweight hydration 

All the products from this line are super lightweight and hydrating. I think it would be great for oily skin or if you want something lightweight for summer or a humid climate. However, if you have super dry skin the moisturizer might not be hydrating enough for you.

• Great ingredient for acne-prone

Honestly, I love the all ingredients included in this line. All these ingredients are great for acne-prone skin. It has Centella for calming, niacinamide for brightening and exfoliation, and glutathione for brightening.

So many great ingredients! If you have acne-prone skin it can help with current acne, acne scars, and help with sebum care.

Conclusion – aPLB Glutathione Niacinamdie Review

Would I repurchase? Yes. The aPLB Glutathione Niacinmide line is a great line for acne-prone skin. It is calming and brightening, great for acne-prone skin that needs to calm their acne but also needs help fading their acne scars. It is a bonus that this is such an affordable line. I would highly recommend anyone, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin.

My favorite product of the three products is the toner. I found that the toner was the most brightening. However, all three products are decent and would still highly recommend them. If I had to skip one product I would probably skip the serum as I didn’t see much brightening compared to the other two.
