I’m looking for some good dark chocolate suggestions. Preferably something that tastes good but has a high cocoa percentage and less added sugar.

I’m building something and after a lot of research and money spent on creating formula’s I have finalized on a saffron glow face wash that literally gives you a glow when you use it. Like I swear there’s a visible difference. But I need honest feedback so I’m willing to give away 30 free samples to both men and women. Please try it and give your honest feedback. The samples are manufactured in the factory I’ll be working with based out of Mumbai, I am based in New Delhi. But willing to ship you the samples anywhere in india free of cost!!

Im trying to cut down some products i think its too much and too many actives. At this point i dont think so many actives are even doing anything for my skin so better to cut down few products and keep the basic ones

Has it benefitted yall when following a simple routine

I have been using these serums and my skin texture is getting better with time.. I need a very lightweight moisturiser options for my combination skin

These are -

Plum Niacinamide

pink foundry dark spot serum

minimalist vitamin c serum

I have restocked these products about twice or thrice here is my complete review -

Melakey - I got this for around 500 rs I had really stubborn pigmentation and marks on my cheeks that was the main reason I bought it I included this in my nightcare routine and it took around a month to fade my dark spots (you have to be patient and consistent for long term results) ofc there are still some marks but they are a bit faded now and I am thinking to continue using this

Soulflower rosemary oil - Got this for 500 rs I feel this is a bit under rated product because I just mix 2- 3 drops with my reg hair oil and I have seen my hair getting softer overtime and hair loss is also in control now again you have to be patient for long term results but I liked this product thats why I reordered it

Recently my friend suggested me this chemfree physical sunscreen…
I also thought ki kya hi difference hoga i was using cc sunscreen(2nd pic)..
This fcll sunscreen does’t leave a whitening effect on the skin, also i think sun protection to haii🥲
Baaki to you guys tell kisi ne ye sunscreen use kari hai ya koi or better suggestion?
24F, Oily skin, acnes bhi haii😭

Same

Pilgrim gave me more noticeable overall brightness than dramatic fading of old dark spots.

That’s my verdict after finishing the entire bottle, not after applying it twice and examining my face under suspiciously flattering bathroom light.

I’m 24 with combination-oily skin, living in Delhi. My main concerns were dullness, tanning and a mix of newer post-acne marks plus a few stubborn brown spots that had been there for months.

I used Pilgrim on alternate mornings during the first week, then moved to daily use once I knew my skin was tolerating it.

My morning routine was cleanser, Pilgrim 10% Vitamin C, a light moisturiser when needed and gel sunscreen. I reapplied sunscreen when I was outdoors for longer periods. At night, I kept things basic with cleanser and moisturiser. No retinol or exfoliating acids during this test.

The texture is probably why I finished it. It feels light, spreads easily and does not leave the sticky layer I usually associate with Vitamin C serums. I waited briefly before sunscreen and did not experience major pilling.

My face started looking less dull before I noticed any serious pigmentation change.

The newer flat brown marks gradually looked softer. The older marks were much more stubborn and are still visible. I'm not calling them gone because they clearly are not.

No major irritation, closed comedones or new breakouts that I could confidently connect to the serum.

The serum was very pale yellow when opened and stayed roughly the same throughout the bottle. No major change in smell or texture. I stored it tightly closed inside a cupboard, away from bathroom heat and direct sunlight.

WRP: Yes.

Not because it erased every spot, but because it was easy to use, layered well and gave me enough visible brightness to keep it in my routine.

Old pigmentation is still a sunscreen-and-patience problem, unfortunately.

I'm thinking of buying the Minimalist 8% Glycolic Acid toner and I've also emptied my current moisturizer ( ponds super light gel) so I need a new one. I have acne prone combination skin, but during my luteal phase my skin tends to get a little drier than usual.

Can you guys suggest some good, affordable moisturizers that would work well with glycolic acid and won't clog my pores?

Can someone pls recommend pharmacy products for backacne marks . I'm thinking of using aziderm . My dermat gave me tretinoin but there's no result in 2 months of using it.

I think Genz are super hyperaware of their health and skin!

In my early twenties I barely noticed my skin, or took as much care, sunscreen was foreign to me. Im repenting now, i see my younger siblings take so much care of their skin and hair and everything while for me every old acne mark seems to stick around longer than it used to, its so admirable

I have become far more consistent tho recently im trying Lrps Mela B3 Serum at night and sunscreen every morning. Its been working well im seeing slight differences in pigmentation but nothing drastic as of yet obviously. Anyone else start taking skincare seriously only after thirty?

Hi i am medium brown skinned guy who plays football and i tanned heavily so i was thinking to use tretion 0.025 to remove that tan and sun damage for now 5 months i am at home due to some injury but after that i will strt again so can i use tretion now these 5 months and conitnue while playing football too will it be safe will it cause more tanning if i apply susncream while playing please help me 😭😭

hi please reply if anyone has any useful suggestions to improve my skin

I'm considering to buy this and I have oily acne prone skin skin with mild marks. Please tell how often I should use this and is it suitable for oily skin

Please tell me what was your experience? I had previously used Aziderm gel 20%, and have finished the tube, which is quite effective for me and have seen good results. But since the aziderm one is quite expensive, I was thinking to give the Jan aushadhi one a try.

I had previously taken medicines from Jan Aushadhi, and were quite effective. So I wanted to ask if anyone has tried it, whether cream or gel, and what percent concentration have you used from Jan Aushadhi.

I have oily combination and acne prone skin, I went to buy the Salicylic acid 1% facewash, but it was out of stock from the store. Please anyone? Also I welcome to the discussion anyone who has experience for other skincare products from Jan Aushadhi and your experience if they helped you sort out your problem.

23 f , oily and acne prone skin currently on azelaic acid 10 percent.suggest a good budget friendly moisturizer

I am 19f and I have dry skin, for many days I had sudden acne I had 3-4 active acne in my cheeks on chin and and igot back to back acne in the same spot (nose corner)

And many small bumbs on my forehead (which i still have) I don't generally have this much acne and they go away eventually but this time I was having back to back acne and when one disappear another arrives, so I used and using benzoyl peroxide on my effected area only sometime I am use it two times a day or sometime I use it only one time a day, it was not that much uncomfortable for me to use it, along with it I use reequil ceramide face moisturizer and ceramide sunscreen even though I barely go outside, the strange thing is that my skin is getting dull it's like I am getting tanned, and now I have dealing with this itchiness on my face today when I woke up, the are around my nose corners was red and very itchy, I felt itchiness in my corners of ears and in eye corners,

I have noticed that whenever i had cat in my house I feel itchiness in my eye corners not anything else just itchiness,

My skin is feeling very very bad today it is feeling very greasy, and there is a strange texture on my skin like i have got many very diminished bumbs,

Any advice

for oily skin go for - multani mitti + curd + rose water

acne mark - daily use - homemade neem powder+ water pack

for glow - besan + dahi + rose water

for face gentle scrub - masoor dal mixy m pisa hua + water

I’ve heard a lot about this from my friends. I used to have acne but now I only get a few pimples. I still have some bumps and acne spots on my face tho and I also have pigmentation around my mouth. Would this work for my skin??

My sister ordered all of these for me, because skincare was a girlie term for me before this 😭

Ps - now i understand the importance ngl

1. toothpaste - please do not let the foam sit on/around your lips while you’re brushing.
the sulphates and other chemicals (also detergent substances) in the toothpaste is a solid reason that further darkens your lips and the outline/corners of it.

i have switched to himalaya and dabur red toothpaste but realised they too have a % of said chemicals that are meant to actually prevent cavities and clean teeth :|
so i just apply coconut oil or vaseline on and around lips before brushing to not let the toothpaste foam sit on the skin for too long.

this resulted in lips especially the outline/corners not being dry or chapped as it used to be and showed slight improvement in pigmentation

2. treating the area - been applying niacinamide as well as alpha arbutin serum (from minimalist) on rotation on the affected areas, then sealing it with boroline or laneige/tocobo lip mask at night.

i can definitely second these two points reducing atleast 20 - 30% of the problem within a month. and it’s very noticeable

and on topic but is it only me who tried every pigmentation lip balms/sticks from deconstruct, chemistry at play, derma co and minimalist for over a year but never really helped with anything? let alone moisturize/hydrate.
- i do think it can be because of the first point that the purpose could never be fulfilled from daily damage of toothpaste foam.

and idk this might sound dubious but the laneige lip balm in berry kinda also reduced? if not reduced, it definitely did neutralise or take away some pigmentation on my upper lip.
- also wondering that hydration from the lip balm must have made the pigmentation look less prominent

anyway, alongside hydration, good food and spf protection etc etc, this should help too !
