Fake or Real ? In doubt, please help

Hey everyone, so I found out from people here on Reddit that we get some pharmacy sunscreen from Firstcry at a good discount and I was excited to try and ordered the La shield Max protection spf 80+ pa ++++ sunscreen

I find the package to be of cheap quality and kinda looks fake to me.

So I sent an email to Glenmark pharma to confirm the authenticity of the product.

I sent them the back number and details.

Anyone here who frequently order skincare from Firstcry can you tell me your experience.

Thank you.

My Current Sunscreen Stack

I usually have unused full size 2 of each, except the European once’s.

I generally buy products In B1G1 or collect them when they have offer.

In the above list 80% of them have failed for me miserably

I always hope to find a good sunscreen and keep experimenting and buying

I am not an influencer so I don’t get any freebies and have got all above with my own money.

Few extra I have given to my mom

Missing from above are
- Yuderma eclipse solaire
- orimii mineral sunscreen
- Photostable emulgel

But anyways

If you have any doubts regarding the above list you can DM me

My current favourites that have worked for me as sunscreens are

  1. Dot and key tinted - for my office indoor use.

  2. LRP - superior protection and no tension.

  3. DERMACO LONG LASTING SUNSCREEN ❤️

Rest all was a disappointment and money waste. Trying to empty them by wearing indoors.

Edit :

The Dermaco long lasting one is amazing and that’s my number 1 cheap and affordable sunscreen

Just pills

Finally decided to get my hands on their new formulation of high Photostable effective filters sunscreen.

My skin type is normal

1 Finger tip unit - blends well | skin feels little Matt and then start sweating near the nose and forehead

But 1 FTU is not enough for optimal protection

I went on for 2 FTU

But this one just pilled.

I put in a lot of effort and dabbed and tapped it in so that the film layer doesn’t get disturbed.

Okay with how it feels and leaves the skin but not a fan of this pilling.

The product doesn’t even stay and re application will still be a bigger challenge

Protection test I don’t think I can wear it outdoors confidently coz it will come off in sweat. So using these and other DTC brands cheap affordable sunscreens for just indoor use.

For outdoors I use my Indian pharmacy sunscreen and LRP

Anyone here who had a great experience with this Deconstruct and how is the protection ?

Affordable Dermatalogist in Bangalore

Hey everyone,

Many here ask the best dermatologist and finding them is really challenging.

Few lack experiences
Few might have just done extra courses
Few just MBBS Doctors would have done their certification and do lasers and recommend procedures

So I am here listing few Dermats in Bangalore that you can trust - for your skin diseases and cosmetic treatments.

KIMS Hospital and Research Centre in VV Puram has a solid Dermatology Department with amazing qualified dermats.

You had to pay ₹30 and buy a OPD card and that’s the consultation fee.

So for anyone searching where to go, try KIMS once

Expect the HOD Dr.Satish at KIMS. Rest are all good and non profit oriented

Dr Sowmya CS
Dr Monika Gowda
Dr Varsha M
Dr Namratha Manjunath
Dr Meghana
Dr Nandini

All are excellent

Share this to benefit people.

Conscious chemist Fluid mineral sunscreen application review

I have had worst experience with conscious chemist but this one looked good. Mineral sunscreen with PA ++++ at an affordable price and they had B1G1 offer so as soon as I received an email of this launch I placed an order.

This will work really well for white skin tone people. Doesn’t leave a white cast but leaves a blue cast / slightly Grey

Not heavy, is moisturising, blends well and doesn’t sit on beard and eye brow patches.

I am just speaking about the application and finish. I won’t be using this coz it doesn’t suit my brown skin. I gave it off to my mom.

So only if you have white skin tone then you can try this one.

Will not repurchase and this is same like every other fluid mineral sunscreen.

Will never ever buy mineral sunscreen ever again.

I trust wederm as manufacturers. Formulation wise okay but protection I won’t be trying to enough to give my verdict.

If anyone else plans on using this for long term please feel free to comment on this post.

4th Session of Laser Toning done & Update Skincare routine Post

Hey Everyone,
Today I got my 4th Laser toning session done at KIMS Hospital, Bangalore by my Dermat.

My primary skin concern is age old Red/Maroon Erythema and PIH on Fitzpatrick scale type 4.

4 passes of laser was done on the face excluding the beard area.

Here is the updated skincare routine. (Mentioning only the actives) || Layering one after another

  1. Base layer - Cuticlair ultra age serum by JS Pharma
  2. Ralga gel - Cutinova
  3. Kojiclar H cream - to be used only for a month and stopped, by Cutinova

But I recently purchased off Sesderma Azelac RU Liposomal serum so instead of 1 I will use this one as base and slowly layer the other.

Will update my journey after a month.

The list of actives is strong but I will make sure to atleast use 1+3 for a month coz of Hydroquinone and mild steroid.

Hopefully I see some significant improvement.

This has to be my costliest skincare purchase till date.

Aziclear - ₹1799

LRP anthelios uv mune was - ₹1499

This serum beat all that and takes the place as my most costliest skincare purchase costing me ₹2670 from clinkally.

Regarding the ingredient list I don’t find it so satisfactory but the liposomal technology.. well thought let me see the hype

Most dermatologist in India keep recommending this and I wanted to know why.

So finally got my hands on this and I will be using this in this order

Night 1 - Tretinoin 0.05%

Night 2 - Picpost 15%

Night 3 - Sesderma serum

Rest day

Repeat

Will update my review on this after 2 months.

If anyone here loved it and still use it. Please give your me honest review

Thanks
