Very extensive and useful post,I have been using Lacto Calamine for years. probably now after reading this want to experiment with Lotus Herbals Acne Gel Tea Tree.
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.
Thank you :)
What a great compilation! Its nice to see many drugstore and affordable brands included here! Would love to see a similar one on combination skintone
I love lacto calamine, 5 out of 10 here broke me out :(

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 :)
Which high end moisturiser do you recommend for oily skin?
Try Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel. :)
I love the Neutrogena Oil-free moisturizer, and Lacto Calamine is a must have for me. The Garnier moisturizer broke me out though.
yup.. Neutrogena is best..
vl try the lotus one next time!
I use cetaphil one.. It's great..
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..
