My oily/acne-prone skincare stash

My oily/acne-prone skincare stash

Hey everyone!

Here are some quick reviews of my current rotation. My skin type is oily and acne-prone.

Here are my thoughts on everything in the picture:

Cleansers & Washes

* Simple Refreshing Facial Wash: This is an absolute staple for me. It’s super gentle, doesn't leave the skin feeling tight or stripped, and gets the job done.

* Ethiglo Deep Cleansing Facial Foam: It gives a nice brightening effect and effectively cleanses off the UV Doux sunscreen.

* Salicylic Acid 2% Facewash: I use this once or twice a week. I don't have much to say about it, as I haven't seen any visible changes from using it.

* Ketoconazole Shampoo 2% & Keraglo-AD Body Wash: These are lifesavers for dandruff and body/fungal acne (dermatologist recommended).

Moisturizers

* Re'equil Oil Free Moisturiser: It’s lightweight, sinks in fast, and doesn't make my face look sweaty.

* The Derma Co Oil-Free Daily Face Moisturizer: This is kind of similar to the Re'equil one, but I feel this one is better.

Sunscreens

* UV Doux Silicone Sunscreen Gel SPF 50: I've been using this for 3 years and I love it. It completely blurs pores and leaves zero white cast. It's also great for sweat resistance.

* Minimalist Light Fluid SPF 50: Very lightweight and watery. I bought it recently, so I will post a long-term review later.

* The Derma Co Pore Minimizing Priming Sunscreen: I only use this for my neck and hands.

Treatments & Lip Care

* Sebogel (Salicylic Acid & Nicotinamide Gel): Good for spot treatments. It flattens out active pimples and helps with blackheads (dermatologist recommended).

* Depiwhite: Dermatologist recommended for dark spots on the face.

* Minimalist 10% Niacinamide Serum: I bought this recently, so I'll share a long-term review later.

* Chaptex Lip Balm: I've been using this for 3 years and it works best for chapped lips.

* NMF E Lip Care (SPF 50+): I bought this recently. I use it during the daytime and it moisturizes really well.

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

P.S. I need recommendations!

I'm looking for a cleanser to remove the UV Doux sunscreen. The Simple face wash is good otherwise, but I feel it doesn't fully cleanse the sunscreen off. I also need budget-friendly recommendations for a body sunscreen (mainly for my neck and hands).

Best lip balm for dark lips.

26M | Delhi

Currently using Chaptex (SPF 15). My lips are healthy with zero dryness or peeling, but I have noticeable pigmentation from sun tanning and hot drinks.

Options:

Deconstruct SPF 50 Tinted Lip Balm (Vitamin C + Resorcinol)

or

Chemist at Play SPF 50 Lip Balm (1% Kojic Acid)

Quick Questions:

If you've used any of these, did they actually help lighten your lips?

Which one should I pick?

Fine pen 0.3-0.5for fast writing For pitman shorthand writing.

I write a lot

Have to take long dictation at the speed of 100-120 words per minute.

Need fine, lightweight, no back print on paper.

Can't use a fountain pen.

Tried V5- it is heavy not good control.

Tried Uniball eye - heavy and not good for making strokes.

10₹ rollerballs like flair and other - these are good but scratches paper and back print problem.

Pilot fine hi tech pen- good but nib worn out quickly and no grip.

Right now using Anchor Roma gel pen it is good but it scratches paper.

Gell pen or rollerball pen both will work 👍

Looking for a GADA watch for a small wrist

I’m looking for a reliable GADA watch that’s a little unique for casual outfits, preferably analog or ana-digi.

My wrist is around 6 inches, and I’m currently considering the Casio EFR-S108D Green.

Do you think it would look good on a 6" wrist?

Also, please suggest any other models from Casio or other reliable brands that would fit a small wrist.

Looking for something durable, everyday-friendly, and a little standout.

BUDGET - under 10k.

adding some pics of watches for size reference.

Thanks!
