Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

First, it is essential for you to understand your skin type. There are three types:

Oily skin: In situations of excessive oil secretion within one hour of washing the face, as well as frequent acne development on the skin. Acne can also have blackheads, whiteheads, and bumpiness.
Combination skin: Skin that is usually normal but somewhat greasy in the T zone (nose and forehead) may develop acne once or twice a year.
Dry skin: Skin that appears as white flakes clumped in particular spots is relatively elastic and irritated. The likelihood of redness owing to flakiness is increased.

Skin care methods differ depending on the type of skin.

For oily skin, use:

Basic face wash.
Moisturizer.
Sunscreens: A silicone gel-based sunscreen is usually preferable.

For combination and dry skin:

Face wash.
Vitamin C serum: around 3 to 4 drops may be used in the morning.
Niacinamide zinc serum: Around 3 to 4 drops may be used at night.
Moisturizer.
Sunscreens.

Apart from that, you could also take a capsule Evion 400 (vitamin E), a tablet Limcee 500 (vitamin C), and a capsule. Seacod cod liver oil (omega-3 fatty acids ) is good for the skin.

For anti-aging, Tretinoin creams or retinol serums can be used once a week for three years, then raised to once every five days, and so on. Tretinoin 0.025 % cream (just a pea-sized quantity) can be used at night after mixing with moisturizer, left on overnight, and then rinsed off in the morning. In the morning, use a decent moisturizer and sunscreen. The daily use of collagen powder is beneficial. Collagen powder may be combined with water and taken on a regular basis.

Skin care techniques that work best:

Chemical peels are a quick and easy technique that produces excellent results for acne-prone skin and acne scarring. Do once every two weeks for a total of six sessions.
Hydrafacials are a luxurious hydration treatment. Ideal for mixed to dry skin. This is done once a month.
Acne scar removal using laser therapy.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
