  5. 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.

  7. I love the Neutrogena Oil-free moisturizer, and Lacto Calamine is a must have for me. The Garnier moisturizer broke me out though.

  11. 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.

  25. Oh thanks a lot. I have very oily skin and have been using intensive home remedies that resulted in drying my skin. Neutrogena oil free moisturiser sounds perfect for me as it is non-comedogenic and gives UV protection as well. Thanks for sharing

  26. 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,

    • 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.

  63. I always have pimples on my face… I really feel bad..:'( I’m using Himalaya neem face wash and Himalaya fairness cream… Which one is better for me??? I have oily skin… Plz suggest something

  64. 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.

  67. 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.

  70. Nice Post ! I used so many cream for my oily skin but I was never satisfied with any cream for my oily skin,
    then I tried Mastani Face Cream for oily skin. I always suggest to buy the products from Amruta Pharma as it’s natural and very effective.
    You also give review for this herbal product.

  75. I am using mastani fairness face cream for oily skin last 4 month.this moisturizer has oil controlling properties and also whitens the skin.This gets fast absorbed in the skin and skin feels nonoily. This moisturizer reduces the dark spots, dullness and skin shallowness so that the skin looks radiant and fresh.Buy this product on Amazon.

  78. 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.
