Does double cleansing help with stubborn blackheads on nose (already using salicylic acid serum for a year)?

If yes, what works best for you cleansing oils/balms/micellar water?

Blackheads on nose

So there’s a lot of discussion currently on using gentle cleansers and avoiding active based cleansers. For the mornings it’s fine, but for night are they enough?

Are gentle cleansers enough for oily skin?

Generally people with dry to normal skin love ceramide moisturisers. Having combination skin I enjoy ceramide moisturisers in my PM routine. Please let me know how you incorporate Ceramides in your skincare routine (share product recommendations as well)?

Ceramides

What do you use to double cleanse? And how your skin feels since you have started double cleansing?

Do you double cleanse everyday?

What products have helped you with dealing dark circles? Please give your valuable suggestions, I need them badly 😭

Dark circles

This serum has worked so well for redness on my face. Also it controls excess oil production on my T zone. This is a great serum. 10/10

I am in love with this product. This was the first product that I used from this brand and I was amazed by this product. The ingredient list is so good, all the ingredients perfect for sensitive skin like mine. I use this AM and PM both. It sits perfectly under any sunscreen that I use. At night I use a thick moisturiser on top of this. I had post acne redness on my face and it calmed my skin within a week. This would be great gel moisturiser for normal to oily skin. 100/10 for me.


@iunik_official Centella AC spot cream

Claims:
•Lightweight but powerful to calm breakouts 
•Targets trouble areas 
•Hydrates the skin 
•Removes excess oil and dead skin cells 
•Provides emergency calming care

Key ingredients:

1. 81% Centella Asiatica extract provides moisture, protects and soothes skin irritated by external stimuli 

2. Anti-sebum P, patented ingredients that tighten pores, reduce excessive sebum, and care for troubled skin.

3. AHA, BHA, PHA, peeling ingredients that dissolve dead skin cells and debris without causing irritation 

4. Teflose, a French-patented prebiotic ingredient obtained from fermentation that prevents impurities from adhering to the skin, treat’s inflammation, and has an antibacterial effect.

My experience:
It definitely does what it claims. I have tried few spot creams before, one thing I don’t like about them is that they dry out the skin where they are applied to. But this isn’t the case with this one, it works on the breakouts but doesn’t dry out the skin. And since it has 81% cica extract, it works on redness very quickly. Love this one.

@simpleskincareindia Simple refreshing facial wash is surely my holy grail. 
💚
As the name suggests, this face wash has a very simple ingredient list, fuss free…. SIMPLE. This face wash has no artificial perfume or colour, no harsh chemicals that can upset your skin, no soap, no alcohol, no mineral oils, non-animal-derived, that’s why it’s kind to skin.
💚
This face is suitable for all skin types. It’s perfect for teenagers who are starting to use a cleanser. It has a transparent gel like consistency which glides on your skin like “Makhan”. 
💚
My experience: I have combination skin, so love using this face wash in the morning. It gives me glowing and fresh skin. I use it only in my AM skin care routine, at night I use a salicylic acid based cleanser, basically to strip of oils and sunscreen buildup on my face.


Nothing bad about this product, I love it.

☀️My experience: 
When it comes to sunscreens, texture is what matters to me the most. I have combination skin, so neither I enjoy very thick creamy textures nor extremely matte textures, I need something between this. And this one from iUNIK fits this bracket. The texture is light cream which feels very nourishing on the skin and after blending doesn’t feel heavy or sticky at all, leaves a semi matte finish. The ingredient list is so good. I have tried other products with cica and my sensitive skin loves it. Also the sun protection is also very high. It didn’t pill on reapplication, didn’t sting my eyes. I liked this sunscreen so much, perfect for summer. Major love.
