Help needed !

Guys I'm a neet -2028 aspirant ( med entrance exam in india )

I have started my coaching in April and it is almost 5 months now and I need to get my focus back . Now I study for 1 to 2 hours daily.

I know 1–2 hours isn't going to be enough for the goals I've set for myself. So I'm trying to get back to my normal routine instead of letting this become my new normal..

And also I am having lots of distractions like social media YouTube etc 😭

Actually I deleted Instagram due to distractions and now I am addicted to YouTube shorts 💔

If you have actually managed to study consistently despite distractions, tell me what worked for you!

Dot and key dragonfruit sunscreen 💗✨

Dot & Key Dragon Fruit Bounce Sunscreen - an underrated affordable sunscreen imo

I’ve finally finished my first 50g tube of the Dot & Key Dragon Fruit Bounce Sunscreen, so I thought I’d review it before opening the second one.

For context, I have combination, acne-prone skin and I’m a teenager, so I’m definitely not in the “₹1000 sunscreen every month” demographic 😭. I was looking for something affordable that I wouldn’t have to gamble with because my skin can get clogged/break out pretty easily. I picked this up around June because it was a newer launch and the texture/UV filter situation sounded promising.

The texture is genuinely the best part. It’s a very fluid, watery sunscreen that spreads ridiculously easily and absorbs pretty quickly. No white cast on me, no pilling, no weird tacky layer sitting on top of my skin. It leaves a hydrated/glowy finish, but not the kind of glow where you look like you’ve applied cooking oil to your forehead 💀.

My T-zone does get oily after a while, especially my forehead and nose, but I just set those areas lightly with powder and I’m good.

I’ve also had zero issues with it breaking me out. No new acne, clogged pores, closed comedones or irritation from it, which is honestly a pretty big deal for me. My skin feels comfortable and moisturised after applying it rather than dry or suffocated.

It also works really nicely under makeup. I haven’t done any elaborate makeup tests with it, but with concealer/blush etc. it gives a smoother base and I haven’t had problems with my makeup separating or pilling.

I’ve worn it regularly for coaching, including being outside around midday and dealing with July humidity. My skin naturally gets red after being in the sun, so obviously this isn’t some magical “no redness whatsoever” shield, but I haven’t noticed any significant tanning while using it. That said, I wouldn’t pretend I’ve done some rigorous sunscreen testing- I mostly consider this my everyday sunscreen, not the one I’d choose for an entire day at the beach or some extreme sun exposure.

I’m also admittedly terrible at reapplying 😭. On coaching days I’m usually out from around 7 AM-1 PM, and rather than reapplying while I’m outside, I’ll wash my face when I get home around 2 and apply it again. So if you’re someone who reapplies properly throughout the day, your experience may obviously be different.

Things I liked:

- Extremely lightweight, fluid texture

- Blends in super easily

- No white cast on me

- Hydrated/glowy but not excessively greasy

- Doesn’t pill

- Doesn’t sting my eyes when I sweat

- Works well under makeup

- Didn’t clog my pores or break me out

- Comfortable even in humid weather

- Cute packaging because apparently that matters to me too 💀

One minor thing: it has a slightly chemical-ish smell when you first apply it. It fades pretty quickly though, and I barely notice it anymore.

The tube lasted me roughly two months, despite using it twice a day, and I paid around ₹450. Considering that, I think the price-to-quantity ratio is pretty reasonable. The only packaging annoyance is that because the sunscreen is so fluid, it comes out VERY quickly if you’re not careful.

For comparison, I’ve also tried the Fixderma Shadow SPF 50+ Gel and the Plum Rice Water & Niacinamide sunscreen. Fixderma didn’t convince me enough to repurchase, while the Plum one felt much heavier on my skin. This one has been much more comfortable for me.

Would I repurchase?

Already did lol.

I’d especially recommend giving it a look if you have acne-prone/combination skin, hate heavy or sticky sunscreens, and are working with a relatively tight budget. I can see it being a bit too lightweight for someone with very dry skin, though.

Overall, this is one of those products where I genuinely don’t understand why I barely see anyone talking about it. 😭

Affordable + lightweight + acne-prone-skin friendly + actually pleasant to wear = I’m sold.

Mwah 💋

Wishcare C16 serum

Skin type: Combination, acne-prone

I used this serum consistently for about 6 weeks, so I think I gave it enough time to work.

First of all, I actually liked the texture. It's lightweight, absorbs well, and the packaging is nice too. The pump is convenient, and the glass bottle feels good quality.

But when it comes to the results... I was honestly underwhelmed.

I bought this mainly to help with post-acne marks, dullness, and pigmentation. It claims to have 10% Vitamin C and 4% Niacinamide, so I was expecting at least some visible brightening. Instead, the only thing I noticed was that my skin felt a little smoother.

Other than that, I didn't see any noticeable difference. My acne marks looked the same, my pigmentation didn't improve, and my skin didn't look any brighter, even after using it consistently for 6 weeks. I also wore sunscreen every day, so I wasn't skipping that part of my routine.

For comparison, I've used the Chemist at Play Vitamin C serum before, and I started noticing a brighter complexion within the first week. With this one, I just didn't get those results.

The good thing is that it didn't irritate my skin or cause any breakouts. It just didn't do what I bought it for.

Sadly, this one wasn't worth it for me, and I won't be repurchasing it.

Your reviews on this moisturizer?

Will this moisturizer be a good choice for combination acne prone skin? Currently using the pond super light gel moisturizer and I haven't tried any other ones so thinking of trying this one.

What do you guys think?
