A lightweight, oil-free serum that hydrates and balances all skin types. It pairs 6% niacinamide with witch hazel and a blend of botanical extracts in a water-based formula, so skin gets real moisture without heaviness or shine. Use it morning and night for a clearer, more even-looking complexion over time.

Oily and combination skin runs into a real catch. It still needs water, but rich creams tend to trigger shine and breakouts. When skin is short on moisture, it often answers by making more oil. This serum gives skin the water-based hydration it wants, and leaves the heavy oils out.
How It Works
First, niacinamide gets to work helping regulate how much oil your skin makes, rather than just blotting the surface. Next, witch hazel and plant extracts tone the skin and help tighten the look of pores. Then, hyaluronic acid pulls moisture into the skin for a plumper feel with no greasy finish. Meanwhile, calming botanicals like feverfew and honey help settle the redness that often comes with oily, breakout-prone skin. Finally, with regular use, skin tends to even out: less shine, more comfort, and a clearer look.
Triple-Action Oil Control System
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
The star of the formula. Niacinamide helps regulate oil, soften the look of pores, and brighten uneven tone. It also supports the skin barrier, so skin holds moisture better and looks calmer and more even with steady use.
Witch Hazel
A natural astringent that tones skin and helps tighten the appearance of pores. It brings a gentle, refreshing feel and helps ease the look of redness, which makes it a good match for oily and combination skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate
A lightweight form of hyaluronic acid that draws water into the skin without any oil or weight. It helps skin feel plump and hydrated, softens the look of fine lines, and absorbs quickly with no sticky finish.
Feverfew Herb
A calming botanical known for easing the look of redness. It helps soothe reactive skin and settle the irritation that often shows up alongside breakouts, so skin feels more comfortable after each use.
Sage Leaf Extract
A traditional herb that helps balance oil and adds antioxidant support. It works with the other botanicals to keep shine in check while helping defend skin against everyday environmental stress.

Application Notes
This product is perfect for treating and protecting:
Oily T-zone and shine: Niacinamide and plant extracts help regulate oil at the source instead of just mopping up the surface, so shine stays in check through the day.
Enlarged pores and rough texture: Steady use helps refine the look of stretched pores. Witch hazel adds a gentle astringent effect that helps pores appear tighter over time.
Dark spots and uneven tone: Niacinamide is well known for helping brighten the look of dark spots. With regular use, skin tone looks more even and luminous.
Redness and irritation: Feverfew and honey help calm the look of reactive skin, which makes the serum a good fit when redness shows up alongside oiliness.
Acne-prone skin that needs hydration: The oil-free, non-comedogenic formula gives skin the moisture it needs without clogging pores. Well-hydrated skin holds its balance better.
Post-shave irritation: The light, soothing formula works as an aftershave. It calms razor irritation and absorbs fast with no greasy residue, which men tend to appreciate.
Best For
Does the 6% Niacinamide Complex Serum work for oily skin?
Yes. This serum is built for oily and combination skin. The 6% niacinamide helps regulate oil at the source, while witch hazel and botanical extracts help control shine. Sodium hyaluronate keeps skin hydrated without adding any grease, so skin looks balanced rather than shiny.
What does niacinamide do for your skin?
Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is one of skincare's most versatile ingredients. In this serum it helps regulate oil, soften the look of pores, brighten uneven tone, and support the skin barrier. Because it is gentle, it suits most skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Will the 6% Niacinamide Complex Serum dry out my skin?
No. It balances oil rather than stripping it. The niacinamide helps normalize oil output while hyaluronic acid delivers lightweight moisture, so skin feels comfortable instead of tight or flaky. Hydrated skin actually tends to produce less excess oil over time.
Is this niacinamide serum safe for sensitive skin?
It is formulated to be gentle. Alongside niacinamide, the serum includes calming botanicals like feverfew and honey that help soothe the look of reactive skin. As with any new product, patch test first and stop use if irritation occurs.
How is this different from other niacinamide serums?
Most niacinamide serums are single-note. This one pairs 6% niacinamide with a botanical oil-control blend of watercress, sage leaf, and lemon peel, so it works on oil, pores, brightness, and the look of redness at once. The water-based, oil-free base makes it easy for oily and acne-prone skin to wear.
Can men use the 6% Niacinamide Complex Serum as an aftershave?
Yes, and many do. The light, soothing formula helps calm razor irritation and hydrates freshly shaved skin without a greasy film. The niacinamide also helps ease the look of redness from shaving, which makes it a comfortable swap for traditional aftershave.
Will this serum help with acne and breakouts?
It can support clearer-looking skin in a few ways. Niacinamide helps regulate the oil that contributes to clogged pores, and the calming botanicals help settle the redness that comes with breakouts. The non-comedogenic formula hydrates without clogging. For active or severe acne, check with a dermatologist.
Can I use niacinamide with retinol or vitamin C?
Yes. Niacinamide layers well with most actives, including retinol and vitamin C. Apply this serum after your water-based products and before heavier creams or oils. When you are combining several actives, introduce them one at a time so you can see how your skin responds.
Do I still need a separate moisturizer with this serum?
It depends on your skin. Many people with oily or combination skin find the hyaluronic acid and glycerin give them enough hydration on their own. If you have drier patches or it is winter, you may want a moisturizer layered on top. Follow what your skin is telling you.
What makes the 6% Niacinamide Complex Serum special?
Lightweight, oil-free serum with 6% niacinamide praised for acne-prone and oily skin. Customers said it "absorbs quickly," "doesn't clog pores," and works "great under makeup." Most love the hydration and natural ingredients. Some with dry skin noted needing additional moisturizer. Highly effective for balancing oil production and reducing breakouts.
After toner, this is the only serum I ever use on my face, morning and night. It has just the right feel and purports to help with breakouts
No tried but few days. So far, okay.
I took advantage of the Valentine special facial this week. It was wonderful. It has been awhile since I had a facial and my skin feels clean, smooth and hydrated. I love that I can purchase the exact products that Annie uses in my treatments. Everyone is so nice and helpful in the store. Cannot wait to go back again.
Everything I purchased for my family we have loved and used for years! My son uses the face wash and also buys the hand soap. My husband loves the hand moisturizing bars. I have been hooked on the oil-free face moisturizer! And thank you for the nail oil sample!
Hello Flora, thank you for you taking time to share your experience of Bee Naturals products, and I'm so happy your entire family loves our products. Our Oil Free Moisturizer is terrific for all skin types, and the niacinamide is great for all skin types, with so many benefits.
I purchased facial serum previously and thought this was the same product. Should have known that "oil free" would be a little dry. My mistake - not Bee Naturals.
Hi Merry, thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad you understand the differences and hope the serum works well for your skin. If you need more moisture after using this product, please layer moisturizer over this product. If you have any questions or need recommendations, feel free to reach out!
Great product for those of us suffering from acne. It can be worn alone or under other products. It's very light and refreshing
Must-have for my morning routine. Works great under makeup!
This product has been a staple in my daily routine for the last 6 years. It also works well under makeup!
I've been using this product for years because it won't clog pores. It has a lovely light scent and provides great hydration for my skin.
Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum is perfect for those want something with natural ingredients to brighten and balance your skin. With these ingredients like niacinamide and glycerin which are humectants. Honey has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Now this is an ingredient that I haven’t seen in skincare, in salads yes though, watercress extract works on the dermal cells and increases collagen production. With these components I can see how it would be for all skin types. I used this and night after cleansing. The texture is really watery but absorbs well. The scent to me a little bit herbal but it goes away and I don’t mind it. Now with me being an makeup artist, and in skincare retail I would say that if you have drier skin to layer this with another serum or moisturizer. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
After being in the skin care and beauty industry as an esthetician for over 5 years, I truly believe that natural products can be just as effective as professional products in some situations. Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum is one of those products that I think everyone needs. It’s formulated to be safe for sensitive skin types, and also to help clear up acne! Free of oils, this moisturizer is packed with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to provide a huge boost of moisture to the skin. By doing this, it also helps create a natural plumping effect to your skin. Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum is extremely cost effective as well! The entire bottle costs under $19 and you only need a small amount to cover your entire face, neck and chest. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
Oil free, but super moisturizing and fiercely effective? Yeah Bee Naturals, I am here for it! The killer ingredient here is the 6% niacinamide. Niacinamide works to support the skin's natural barrier, increase skins resiliency, improve texture, minimize pores, balance oil production, and is safe to use all skin types. When I first applied this serum I could feel it working instantly to repair my skin. It felt firmer and stronger after just one use. It is so lightweight but so nourishing! I love me some hyaluronic acid, and guess what? That's in there too! (Which I especially need now during these dry winter months!) The facial serum is naturally antibacterial and contains lavender, lemon, and tea tree essential oils, which all boast healing properties. Altogether, these ingredients work hard to reduce hyperpigmentation(which I am totally into), and also reduce the appearance of pores and refine skin’s texture. It is pretty rare to find a product that is so focused on natural ingredients that show immediate results. The votes are in, and this gets a firm seal of approval from me! (Plus it is VERY affordable for what you get out of it!)**This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
We all know that hydrated skin is healthy skin. When my skin is hydrated my face seems more supple, looks younger, and even my makeup goes on better. Bee Naturals Oil Free Moisturizer Facial Serum is the perfect addition to your routine. This lightweight and oil free formula is packed with natural ingredients to refine and smooth your skins texture.
One of my favorite ingredients is Niacinamide. It works with your skin's natural chemistry to improve overall skin texture by rebuilding a lipid layer, minimizing the appearance of pores, and preventing UV damage and inflammation as an antioxidant. I have Lupus and I have found that products with Niacinamide reduce the redness I get when I am flaring. Bee Naturals did not disappoint. I actually loved the texture of this serum and how easily it soaked in to my skin. This is a great addition for anyone that is looking for natural ingredients.

As a landscape/portrait photographer I have always spent my time behind the lens looking for beauty in the outside world. For the last several years my focus has turned to a love for commercial and product photography and writing. I’ve been recognized by top companies as an influential content creator and aesthetic specialist. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
I was recently this Oil-Free Moisturizer Facial Serum from Bee Naturals and Beautytap to use and review. I have a professional background in retail and healthcare but have a personal passion for skincare and beauty. I have been a skincare and beauty content creator and photographer for over a year and take special interest in ingredients and formulation.
I used this moisturizing serum as part of my morning skincare routine. This serum contains 6% niacinamide to help brighten as well as hydrating hyaluronic acid, calming feverfew, and a blend of beneficial essential oils. This serum has a lightweight milky liquid texture and a beautiful lavender herb scent. It leaves my dry combination skin feeling hydrated and moisturized and looking brighter.
I would recommend this serum for any skin type as part of a regular skincare routine. I recommend patch-testing as when using any new product.**This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
Unlike most facial serums on the market today, this Bee Naturals moisturizing option contains zero oil! This makes it ideal for anybody with sensitive skin, needed an added boost of hydration those with oily skin types or who are looking for anti-aging benefits and even people with acne prone skin.
Within my 20 years of being a licensed cosmetologist, I’ve learned lots of tips and tricks when it comes to using certain products. One of them is to apply onto damp skin. To my surprise who’s bottle actually advises it. This helps pull all the natural and essential ingredients deeper in as the dermis dries.
After application, your face feels refreshed and rejuvenated. I especially love the invigorating scents of tea tree, lavender and lemon this serum provides.
Pro tip: Pat into skin for faster drying time and absorption. Follow up with a more rich serum for added glide and hydration.

Oil free moisturizer that still provides hydration and lightweight! Recently I have been getting constant blemishes around the the higher cheek bone area due to where my masks lays upon so I been trying to avoid oily skincare or beauty products to give my skin a breather. I am so happy I was able to still get the moisture my skin needed while using this oil-free serum! I used about two pumps to fully cover my face and neck, of course after cleansing. It dries within seconds but felt completely hydrated all day! I used this serum twice a day almost everyday with and without makeup. If you are using any kind of eye cream or other serums be sure to put those before the moisturizer. I recommend using this facial moisturizer to anyone wanting a lightweight serum while keeping all the same benefits of a oil moisturizer. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
As an online influencer for over 8 years now I always look forward to trying new products! I’m really loving this Bee Naturals Oil Free Moisturizing Facial Serum!! The words “oil free” is what really captured my attention! I have a hard time using products that have an high oil content because I have a pretty oily T-Zone. Usually things with excess oil just makes my face even more oily. But this helps to regulate my excess oil production and inflammation all while hydrating my skin! My skin literally sucked this in so fast I felt like I needed to apply more. My skin is so dry in the winter that I definitely need a product like this! It looked plumper and felt so much softer! It’s definitely lightweight and gentle so it would be good for anybody with sensitive skin. It has a cooling sensation to it as well and the smell reminds me of lemon. It starts off a little bit strong but then fades after a few seconds. I use this after cleansing my face while my skin is still damp. A few pumps of this is all you need because a little bit goes a long way! I absolutely love this serum! **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
If you are looking for an ultra-gentle, oil-free moisturizer made with brightening and anti-aging ingredients than this is absolutely one you should try. The formula itself is much thinner and lighter than I had expected but with this super silky texture, I was able to cover my entire face with just a little bit of product. It dries very well leaving behind no residue, stickiness, or irritation. It is made with skin healing ingredients such as sodium hyaluronate which also draws moisture into the skin. There are some essential oils such as lavender, tea tree and lemon which all help reduce inflammation and brighten the overall appearance of your skin. I do recommend that you use caution if you think you may be sensitive to oils such as lavender as it can be irritating however, I found that it did not irritate even my more sensitive skin and instead I felt soothed, relieved, and calmed. Allantoin is also a non-toxic, gentle ingredient that helps smooth out the texture of your skin and even works to help heal skin that is irritated. I personally found this to be so helpful for reducing that redness and irritation that I sometimes experience with my breakouts. It reduces a lot of the inflammation and made my skin finally feel comfortable. To really push this oil-free serum above many others, Niacinamide is added to be sure that you are getting that addition of brightness and helps to strengthen the skin deeply. It is powerful yet gentle and a great choice for those who need something lightweight and effective.

A lover of indy brands, I have fallen hard for Bee Naturals and even harder for their Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum. My combination skin with minor acne drinks this up. Niacinamide is the star ingredient along with Hyaluronic Acid, lemon, lavender, & lemon essential oils. The formula is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial making this perfect for those with acne. Mega hydration and very nice aromatherapy is offered from its natural herbal, lemon scent. This serum makes my skin feel super soft after a bit of tackiness until it is fully absorbed. What I really love is that it is treating my acne and hyperpigmentation while offering moisture that isn't greasy feeling.

Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum is a oil free non comedogenic facial serum. Its going to penetrate into the skin providing moisture and hydration for all skin types. I received this product in a VIP Beauty Box and my first thoughts were that its simply compact and does the job. I love the lightweight feel of this serum. It absorbs quickly and feels nice. I sometimes make minor changes in my routine depending how my skin is feeling and this is a serum I feel can be used with any other products.
I especially like that its non pore clogging. After a few uses I decided to gift it to my brother because he is really oily and sensitive. Its very hard to find his skincare match because a lot of products don't agree with his skin. After giving him a facial I used this serum to glide on his face during lymphatic massaging and it not only rejuvenated his skin but did not cause any disruption or redness. Needless to say its great for someone whos skin is often sensitized, oily or a skincare beginner. The packaging is quite minimal and the dispensing pump works as it should. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
I would have to say that Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum stands out on its own. The serum is more of a water base serum it's fresh and revitalizing it'a lightweight enough to add on before make. It absorbs quickly but still gives you that hydration and moisture that your skin needs and loves without stripping it completely of its natural oils. My skin could be oily from time to time I notice that this holds my oil into place without completely drying out my skin or adding excess oil to it, it's smooth and subtle it's not harsh in scent. I love the ingredients list some of the main ingredients that stood out are Sage Leaf Extract, Lemon Peel Extract, Ivy Leaf Extract and lemon essential oil, combine they work wonders together. If you are someone that typically breaks out from serum this is definitely a mild serum that can help with breakouts just due to it being so subtle and all natural it'll be very gentle on the skin and it's for all skin types, sensitive, dry, oily or normal definitely worth a try. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
Wearing my esthetician hat here: those with oily and often breakout prone skin will love Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum as a part of their daily skincare routine for its lightweight yet hydrating consistency and effective active ingredients. Formulated with oil balancing and blemish improving niacinamide along with clarifying tea tree oil, Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum directly targets breakout prone skin to improve concerns without causing further sensitivities or irritations. As someone who typically becomes more prone to breakouts during that time of the month, using Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum in my routine specifically in times of need has been beneficial to an immediate improvement in my blemishes thanks to the higher than most niacinamide content of this serum. As a bonus, the brand's focus on using natural ingredients over those not typically found in nature makes Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizing Facial Serum a clean beauty staple!**This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
If you suffer from adult acne this is the serum fof you! It is packed with ingredients to help fight acne but also sooth your skin. Some ingredient shoutouts are my favorite, niacinamide, aloe vera, tea tree oil and witch hazel. Ive used all these ingredients in seperate products but this is the first time ive seen them all in one. The serum has a runny consistency and absorbs very quickly. As I have said in other reviews about serums with niacinamide in them, it really is the ingredient that has made all the difference in my skin. In addition to pore reducing ingredients the aloe vera and tea tree oil are great for soothing the skin. I would highly suggest you try this serum in conjunction with a retinol! I reccomend this for oily and acne prone skin and or people who are experiencing maskne. Give this serum a shot and see how your skin has improved while still under the mask.**This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
Hello honey's ... have you been looking for an all-in-one serum/moisturizer that doesn't break the bank? Bee Naturals Oil-Free Moisturizer Facial Serum might be what you are looking for. My life is kinda crazy right now. Although I will never eliminate skincare from my daily routine, I will shorten my time in front of the mirror by finding solid multi-functional products that streamline my skincare ritual.
What I would improve
Although I really like this, I still need a moisturizing serum or cream to pair with it. I use retinoids five days a week, so this isn't enough moisture for me.
Let's chat a bit about why I like this product. It feels like oil, but it's oil-free. The silky smooth texture is pretty stellar and will feel great to anyone oily, acne-prone, combo, or normal. The natural ingredient list boasts a combination of ingredients that add water moisture, nourish and reduce redness. The ingredient list includes natural ingredients with antibacterial properties and sebum-reducing herbal extracts. I love the price point too. I believe that great skincare should be accessible to everyone. If you are looking to streamline your skincare, this is a good choice. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**

I love this moisturizer, it feels so great in the skin ❤️
Nice and thick-this will last a long time. Pure ingredients. Makes my face feel and look soft and amazing!🤩
I love how it makes my face look and feel
This is truly the best toner I have come across! It makes my skin so bright, I always get compliments after a week or so of using it. It smells lovely, and doesn't have behind a sticky residue like some others do. I literally won't use any other toner!
I have suffered for years with extremely dry legs in all seasons. Plus I have a birthmark that dries until it bleeds. Other than Vaseline petroleum jelly, nothing has helped this area. This is the first product that has kept it healthy. I do have to apply it nearly every day but my legs feel healthier and looks healthier. The smell too is heavenly. I just love this product. Please don't stop making it. Highly recommend for all ages, not just babies if you have baby sensitive skin.
