Harshita Panthwal asks..
Hi Lancy,
I am 26, wheatish complexion and have combination skin; T-zone is oily. My skin is very dull, uneven, no glow, unhealthy and having some dark spots too. Earlier I was using Fair and Lovely Fairness Cream for combination skin but recently purchased Olay Total Effects Touch of Foundation Day Cream but hardly see any results hence really disappointed with this. Looking for a good brand day cream.
Since so many brands and many skin creams available in India, therefore I am confused which one I should go for that makes my skin fairer, even, glowy, smooth, supple and flawless.
Kindly suggest me some good brand day and night skin cream for combination skin (price is not the bar) . Btw, How is The Body Shop brand? Please suggest!

Hello Harshita,
The creams you used in past – Fair and Lovely and Olay Foundation will probably do nothing to your skin other than providing that instant brightness. However, which variant did you use in Fair and Lovely, the Anti Marks Fairness Cream or some other? My mom uses the Anti Marks variant and she loves it! She says that it has helped her clear the acne marks.
Coming to your query.. I can suggest you some good day and night cream for combination skin. Since you have oily T zone, avoid heavy creams on your skin – as they may cause pimples. If you don’t expose your skin to sunlight, you can use Vicco Turmeric Skin Cream or Himalaya Fairness Cream as your day cream. They are dead cheap but works wonders! I have used them both and like them equally. If you are stepping out, don’t forget your SPF along with that! You can also try Nomarks Cream for Oily Skin. Jenita says that it improves skin complexion with regular usage!
For night creams, I suggest you to try Olay Total Effects Anti Aging Night Cream or Himalaya Herbals Revitalizing Night Cream. Both are non-greasy and improves skin texture with regular usage! Not only skin creams, you also need to use good face packs to improve skin glow. You can find some natural fairness face pack recipes on MABH.
The Body Shop is definitely a good brand; popular one as well! I swear by their Coconut Hair Oil. However, I never tried their face creams. So I can’t comment on that. I hope someone will help you on the comment section!

I have the most delicate sensitive facial skin.. hard to describe. Even change in water will cause breakouts n rashes to my facial skin. The best product that ill suggest you to improve ur skin tone, complexion, spot removal, glow etc wud b the BRIHANS ALEOVERA GEL.its doing wonders to my skin.. it have lightened my skin by two tones.. im loving it like anything
By 2 tones?? :shock: :dance: Does it help clearing blemishes? Where to get Brihan’s Aloe gel poornima? I want it NOW!

Lacto calamine classic along with a good sun screen preferably spray type wud do goot to combination skin.. iv tried himalayas fairness cream. It did improve my skin complexion visibly.. but gave me break outs.. f ur skin is not acne prone u can try himalayas.. u wud love it
If u desperately want to get that even tone u can go for laser treatments from a good dermatologist.. its the oly solution to get miraculous results
In chennai they r not aware of the name brihan’s.. so ask for for green leaf aleo vera gel.
Yup Thanks I ll ask :)
first of all harshita :) do you use a good cleanser and toner ? only a good cleansed and toned skin can get any benefit from any product you use. so invest in a good cleanser and toner. vlcc and lotus have great products in this range. also coming to your daily moisturiser, there is another one from olay a normal moisturiser without that fondation an all. try that. also if you want just use a good sunscreen with moisturising properties. lotus has really amazing collection here too. for the night cream use lotus nutranite cream. its not advisable for oily or combination skins to us anti aging products soon before you are 30 since the natural oil from the skin is perfect. anti aging boosts natural oil secretion to help with the aging signs so it will only aggravate your condition. so choose accordingly dear. any more issues please feel free to ask :)
Very helpful answer Dharu :clap: The Olay Night cream is very light in texture and my cousin who has oily skin uses it :) She s 25+ too and never faces any trouble with tat. It actually helps evening out the skin tone than making it greasy. That’s why I included it in my suggestions. However she can avoid it if she finds it oily on her skin.
thank you lan. ya it works for few and then it does not for others :) i like olay ones. my mom uses them and she has really good skin :)
its all on harshita to choose :)
‘few have younger skin even at 26 or 28. they seem to have trouble with things like that. i always had issues because well my skin is still 10 years old :P
