For oily, acne-prone skin, I recommend starting with a simple daily routine. Wash your face twice daily with a cleanser containing Salicylic Acid (2%) to help unclog pores and control excess oil. At night, apply a thin layer of Adapalene gel (0.1%) or Benzoyl Peroxide cream (2.5%) to the affected areas to target pimples. Always use a lightweight, oil-free (non-comedogenic) moisturiser and sunscreen daily, as these active ingredients can dry your skin. Avoid popping pimples to prevent scarring. If your skin does not improve after 6?8 weeks, please consult a dermatologist for prescription-strength options.

These symptoms, oily skin, hair loss, and facial darkening, often point to an underlying hormonal imbalance, such as PCOS or insulin resistance. Precautions: Wear SPF 50+ sunscreen daily to prevent further darkening, limit high-glycemic foods, and avoid harsh physical scrubs. Recommended Products: Skin: Use a Salicylic Acid cleanser (to control oil) and a Niacinamide or Vitamin C serum (to fade pigmentation) under a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Hair: Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo. Topical Minoxidil (2%) can help with hair fall, but consult a doctor first. Next Steps: Please consult a dermatologist or gynecologist for hormone and thyroid blood tests to treat the root cause.
