Yes, you can use dermaroller along with these creams. It will only increase the effectiveness of these treatment creams but make sure you use it the right way and don’t injure yourself in the process. You can either check out some online tutorials or consult a dermatologist for correct way of using it.

Ahan…thanks for your opinion. Will definitely check out if it’s available in India.

Hello Dear. You can use Olay REGENERIST Micro Sculpting Serum.

Ega is an anti aging cream for wrinkles and fine lines. It is not meant for enlarged pores. Since your enlarged pores have developed as a reaction to the chemical peel, you should consult a derm to suggest you some healing ointment or cream. You can even use Nilac gel after cleansing your face to sooth your skin and pores.

Hi Nalini. Use salicylic acid based face wash in the night. And use Kaya Skin Clinic purifying moisturizer in the night.

The skin around your lips can become dark due to dryness and inflammation. Stop licking your lips or rubbing your skin around the region. Always use a good quality lip balm with spf for your lips. For dark skin and dryness around your lips, keep the area always moisturized and protected from the sun. Use vitamin c serum for brightness.

Hi Junoo. You can use Olay Regenerist Sculpting Serum.

Hi Tarun. Your mom can use Auriga Flavo-C serum both in the morning and night before moisturization and after cleansing. She can use Vichy Sunscreen in the day time and Ega cream in the night over Vit C serum.

Hi Sara. Its not suggested to use both the creams together!

Hi Palak

Kiehl’s midnight recovery serum is a wonderful night treatment for your late 20s and early 30s. You can also use Ega cream by Curatio pharma in the night. This will address your finelines, large pores, and combination skin problems. But you need to be patient, the cream starts to give results after a few months of regular use. Since it contains retinol, you may intially experience your skin gettin worse but after a week or two your skin should adjust. As for your eye area, you can use Avarta eye cream. Good luck.

Hi Minita

No treatment shows overnight results. You need to be patient with your prescribed products. Along with your dermatologist prescription, you can make some lifestyle changes to speed up the process. Drink one glass of lemon + honey water daily in the morning, use high spf from good brands like Avene or Vichy daily on going out, drink juice of 2 oranges, 1 apple, 1 beet, and 2 carrots daily. You can also take SkinVit, multi-vitamin and mineral tablet daily along with your vit C and E and use Ega cream in the night. Its one of the best and safest combinations of retinol and Vitamin K for most skin issues.

Hi Keerthana. You have heard it right, there’s not much to be gained from taking whole flaxseeds as they pass through your body undigested. To obtain maximum benefit from flaxseeds, they should be consumed fresh in ground form. Since you don’t have access to a fridge, you can grind them in small batches of upto a week’s supply and store them in an air-tight container. Take them with curd, yogurt, or lemon juice for added detox benefit.

Hi Keerthana. Auriga Flavo C is better than Dr. Reddy’s Strea C. And Ega cream offers a combination of retinol and Vitamin K, which is a very good combination to thicken skin, build collagen and fight blemishes. However, Reddy’s Strea A15 capsules contain pure retinol in high concentration. Also, since the retinol comes encapsulated in Strea A15, it eliminates any chances for contamination, oxidation or overusage of the product. If you are looking for a pure retinol product, you should for Strea A15. Yes, you can apply ega cream with Vitamin C, no harm in that but I would suggest you to use Vit c serum in the daytime and ega cream in the night for effective working of the products. Applying vit c in daytime ensures detox and antioxidant protection aganist pollution and other environmental damages.

Hi Rajani. For your hands you can use AHA based cream: Glyco A 6%. Once your skin adjusts to it, you can progress to 12% concentration. But make sure to use the cream only in the night and during the day slather your hands with good brand spf 50. Skin peeling is natural when you are using acids. Use rich moisturizer to prevent excessive dryness and flakiness. Emolene or Cetaphil are good choices.

Hi Sheena. You can try using AHA glow face wash in the night followed by Kaya Pigmentation reducing complex. Also use vit C serum in the day time under sunscreen and never forget to leave the house without wearing spf.

Hi Ambi. It’s sad to learn your skin got damaged. But never mind, with good faith and skincare it should be back to normal. Use demelan cream on pigmented areas in the evening after cleansing your face with some gentle creamy cleanser. Wash off or rinse after two hours and apply Uthbless cream all over your face and neck in the night before going to bed. At 34, you should also be using a good eye cream. Here is a list of good eye creams in India, you can take your pick from any of these.

Also, dry skin is very much prone to early wrinkles and fine lines. Make sure to use hydrating skincare products. Look for skincare products containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera gel, vit E, glycerin, lactic acid, urea, AHAs etc. Some good options to pick are L’Oreal Paris hydrafresh supreme emulsion, Kama Ayurveda eladi hydrating ayurvedic face cream, Forest Essentials light day lotion Indian rose, Aviance hydra balance day cream, Kaya skin clinic nourishing day cream, you can find the review for its night cream, here. Finally, irrespective of everything else make sure you use a good quality sunscreen and drink plenty of water on a daily basis. So your skincare routine should be something like:

AM:

Wash face with gentle cleanser
Apply moisturizer or some antioxidant serum
Top off with sunscreen

PM:

Evening:

Wash face with gentle aha based cleanser like AHA glow
Apply demelan cream on spots and pigmented areas
Top off with moisturizer/aloe vera gel over entire face

Exfoliate your skin once weekly and follow up with some hydrating face pack.
