Acne, oily skin, open pores and skin irritation can often be managed with a simple and gentle skincare routine. Wash your face twice daily with a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser that does not block pores. Avoid scrubbing, picking, or squeezing pimples, as this can worsen irritation and cause scars. For acne, products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may help reduce spots and excess oil. If your skin is sensitive, start with a small amount on alternate days and increase gradually if tolerated. Use a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser to prevent dryness and irritation. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning. Open pores cannot usually be permanently closed, but controlling oil and acne can make them appear smaller. Avoid oily cosmetics and products containing strong fragrances. If irritation is severe, acne is painful, or there are persistent marks or scars, consult a dermatologist for suitable treatment.

I have been using Fix Derma moisturiser since January, along with Fix Derma sunscreen and face wash. I also use Derma Co salicylic serum. Despite this routine, I have developed many whiteheads and open pores. When I pinch my skin, it becomes red and leaves marks. Could you please suggest the best product for my skin?

Whiteheads, visible pores, redness, and marks can result from factors such as clogged pores, excess oil, skin sensitivity, irritation from skincare products, and other individual skin conditions. Since you are already using multiple products, including a salicylic acid serum, and still experiencing these concerns, adding more products without understanding the cause may worsen irritation. Avoid squeezing or pinching whiteheads, as this can increase redness and leave marks. The best product or treatment depends on your skin type and the severity of your concerns, so it is recommended to consult a dermatologist for proper skin evaluation and a personalised skincare routine. In the meantime, continue a gentle routine with mild cleansing, suitable moisturisation, sunscreen use, and avoid overusing active ingredients.

I have dry, acne-prone skin and dark spots. Is Acnemoist Cream 60 gm good for my skin?

Acnemoist Cream is specially designed for acne patients to manage dryness caused due to acne medications. It is non‑oily and provides hydration, which helps in completing the anti‑acne therapy by keeping the skin moisturised without clogging pores. However, it is not intended to treat dark spots or pigmentation so that you may need additional targeted treatment for those concerns.

I use Tonenglo face wash once daily and apply Photostable sunscreen afterwards. Earlier, I used Suncote sunscreen, but it caused excessive sweating, so I switched to Photostable. Is this okay? Should I also apply Acnemoist after sunscreen, as I have recently started getting some breakouts and acne?

Using Photostable instead of Suncote is fine if it suits your skin better and causes less sweating. You can continue washing your face with Tonenglo once or twice daily. If your skin feels dry or irritated, you may apply Acnemoist, but it should be used before sunscreen, not after. If breakouts continue, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist to adjust your skincare routine.

Everyone’s skin is unique, and its needs can vary depending on health, lifestyle, diet, sun exposure, and environmental factors. Because of these differences, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice. A dermatologist can assess your skin type and recommend the most suitable products to keep it healthy, balanced, and glowing. Professional guidance ensures you’re using the right routine for your specific needs and helps maintain long‑term skin health.
