    Inaccurate ingredient lists – disappointing response from an ingredient-focused brand

    I was excited to try Minimalist because the brand positions itself around transparency and carefully curated ingredients. Unfortunately, I found that some of the ingredient lists on their website (e.g. Alpha Lipoic + Glycolic 07% Cleanser and Maleic Bond Repair Complex 05% Hair Mask) do not match what is printed on the product packaging. Several ingredients are present in the actual products but were missing from the online listings.

    I raised this with customer support and even provided annotated comparisons. The issue was escalated to their R&D team, but a month later I’ve had no resolution or meaningful update. By contrast, when I encountered a similar issue with Cult Beauty last year, they were mortified by the error, quickly refunded my purchase, and corrected their website.

    It’s disappointing that a company built on ingredient curation hasn’t been more proactive in addressing this. The products may work fine for many, but if you rely on ingredient transparency due to allergies or sensitivities, please be cautious.

    Not my preferred face cleanser

    The only product here that I am not very satisfied with using. It’s a personal preference. After washing, doesn’t really feel like it’s after a face wash. Again, it’s a personal preference. Love their serums though.

    Really good cleanser

    This is a really good cleanser that isn’t harsh or oil stripping especially for dry skin like mine. I use this in combination with Ceramides 0.3% + Bisabolol and it has improved the texture and appearance of my skin. I’m slowly starting to build a skin care routine with very affordable products that actually work.
