Thank you.
I use Lotus herbal’s acne gel during summers. works pretty well.. Currently I’m using VLCC’s anti pollution lotion and it’s doing a good job.. Finding the right moisturiser for sensitive oily skin is not at all easy..
Good compilation.

Hi i read ur review m looking for buy lacto even m too following now a days lacto calamine user to know more is it real worth it because i have oliy skin acne issue even open pours do you recommended
I have been using the Fab-India Vit-E moisturiser. It i a very light weight water based whipped cream that gets easily absorbed in the skin and leaves it soft and moisturised. Continous usage gave me a uniformly moistiurized glowing skin that broke out only occassionally due to hormonal changes in the body.
Thanx for your sharing your experience Mani :)

Is the Sebamed gel shown above an all over moisturiser? It looks like a targetted pimple treatment.
No supriya .. its an over all face moisturizer and prevents acne to occur..
My aunt bought me the clean & clear one last year. It’s amazing especially in summers for my combination skin. But i never find it in local stores :( i’ll try the garnier one next.

Hi,
I have got a combination skin , I used ponds white beauty naturals for about 1 years and half and have recently bought Lacto Calamine. Its been 15 days , but I can feel that Lacto Calamine makes my face sweaty near my chin, upper lips, nose and forehead. I have started getting pimples around my chin and forehead too. Please could you advise, how to discover if Lacto Calamine suits my skin type or not.
Regards,
Pihu

Himalaya Fairness cream is not good. I faced too much breakout after I use this cream…..so farther I didn’t used it ..
You can use Himalaya clarina face gel wash
…it is too good . It will remove your pimples.
Use lemon+ honey mask every night for 10 min and then wash your face and use aloevera gel with vit E capsule.

Hey mam I have acne and pimples on my face. I used may products but it doesn’t effect very well now what can I do please tell me.
I personally love Monsia
This is informative blogs.
I used the Citrus Clear Moisturizer when i was 16 but then stopped when my skin cleared up but when i was 18 my skin got really bad again so i started using it a gain and i dont know why i eveer stopped it helped clear my skin. I have oily skin and it doesnt make it shiny if you use a pea sized amount. Also i love the tingely effect it has it wakes you up and reaaly makes you feel clean and clear.
the best moisturizer cream I have used is the Monsia :)

Thanks for sharing list of products for pimples and acne. I personally, like lacto calamine.
However, I also feel that, apart from using these products, we can also go for home remedies, which is affordable to do and has long term effect. There is one article on pimple treatment for oily skin in hindi, https://www.popxo.com/2016/02/tips-for-pimple-free-face-hindi/ , which I want to share with you guys so that you can understand the benefit of home remedies and how much effective it is.
