    Do men need night cream for moisturising the face

  3. @toymenagerie2947 April 1, 2025 at 11:33 am

    Very helpful and I will safe this for later, when my skin will change by time. I have oily skin but also like you said before seldom a feeling of dryness. I‘m 36 and almost no wrinkles (one small on the forehead) and I think this is because of my oily skin type. People on the internet are using so many products that I sometimes wonder if I should use any. As a dermatologist ones said my skin is very fine and sensitive. Any products could still cause acne. Maybe I should age with grace 😂 or are there any skin products which are good for oily and sensitive skin which keep the skin young?

    Love the video! I am looking for a moisturizer because I have oily skin and prominent pores. Which one would you recommend? I was thinking about the Eucerin serum triple effect but am not sure

  5. What do I use for white heads

  6. Thank you so much!!! They’re super affordable and I was in urgent need of a good moisturizer, so this was really helpful

  7. The laroche postal was too drying for me the tolerain one , and that matte one you reviewed is actually great! But it’s very expensive,, I use the versed dew point gel , and I use the Vichy 89 serum , would like to try the cetaphil but starting tretinion again so can I use terr at night then the cetaphil SA moisturizer during the day?

  8. @jaradatfishy7838 April 1, 2025 at 11:38 am

  13. @AnthonyMorgan-c8n April 1, 2025 at 11:47 am

  26. @believeinjesus8300 April 1, 2025 at 12:00 pm

    Decided to help my teen daughter. I dug into all this face product stuff to figure out what she may need. Your channel was helpful. She breaks out bad on the forehead. So we got some fiber gummy’s and have her drinking more water. Also bought some cleanser and moisturizer from cetaphil. I picked the gentle clear moisturizer from cetaphil. Wash and moisturize x2 morn and eve. We will see how it plays out 🙏🏾. As a dad I wasn’t sure if I was over stepping, but as a dad I also wasn’t scared of that to much 😂.
    She seemed relieved to have some help and excited to try something. I brought her along to the store and had her help me find the products that I had written down. Also buying some some new pillow cases to have fresh one every night. If all this doesn’t work I’ll take her to a skin doctor. 🙏🏾

    I really need to get a good routine going. I have always had oily skin, but once I hit my 40’s my skin changed and now it’s more combination. Oily with dry patches. I’m 48 now so as well as having large pores I’m dealing with fine lines. Any advice on the best routine for my skin ?

  28. Gel base is the best for me!

  29. I dont know why i get acne when i use moisturizer 🙁

  30. I really try the cerave moisturising lotion, but scared that it will make me feel a little heavy on my skin even tho it’s non-comedogenic but it can make my face really glowy since it’s recommended for dry skins, but I’ve seen a lot people with my skin typeI oily with acne prone skin recommending it, but Im confused since it’s a dry to very dry skin.. if somebody has been using it, how is it? Could you advise me guys please?

  31. Neutrogena hydro boost doesn’t to shit do extremely oily skin, maybe for mildly oily skin, basically just hydrates the skin

  32. Can i use the cerave or hydro boost at night and the la roche posay effaclar mat during the day? Or is that not good

  33. u look a little too filtered in this video lol

  34. Can someone please recommend me face cream for oily skin i am teenage girl

  35. O bhai 🤟

  36. @NiluVishwakarma-z3x April 1, 2025 at 12:09 pm

    Your product is very costly

  37. Das 10-Kräuter-Pferde-Gel von Bio Allgäu ist jetzt mein ständiger Begleiter für müde Beine.

  38. My boyfriend has combination skin but the T zone, neck and ears are extremely oily. He also has rosecea. I got him Kiehl’s oily skin line, but he said it doesn’t help with his oily skin throughout the day. So you recommend anything from your list? Thanks

  39. @nelsonsbernadez8058 April 1, 2025 at 12:11 pm

    The neutrogena oil free acne control is it good for sensitive skin like oily and acne??

  40. @believeinjesus8300 April 1, 2025 at 12:12 pm

    Thanks

  41. @enriquelizaola1420 April 1, 2025 at 12:14 pm

    So all these moisturizers works for combination skin??

  42. @lamofonguera7807 April 1, 2025 at 12:15 pm

    The Neutrogena one is FABULOUS! It goes on like an expensive, luxury cream and dries with a slight glow but no shine! I use it in my morning skincare routine.

  43. @kerrieonmywaywardson April 1, 2025 at 12:17 pm

    Would you recommend these for Am and Pm use? I’m trying to simplify my skincare routine, but my oily-acne-prone-red skin struggglllleeessss lol.

  44. @celinaindhur3286 April 1, 2025 at 12:19 pm

    Can anyone please help me, so I’m using jumiso vitamin c and snail mucin from cosrx together but I’m using a new face cream which is the benzaderm excess oil moisturizer it mattifies. I wanted to know is the matifying bad to use with skincare like is it basically just absorbing all the product I put on my face?

  45. @juwitarahmawati2275 April 1, 2025 at 12:20 pm

    I feel so happy to find this video. Got some help to choose moisturizer product for my acne prone skin. Thankyou

  46. @latoyamatthews6800 April 1, 2025 at 12:24 pm

    I have oily skin. Sort of Combo- for mature skin I have Normal to oily skin. It doesn’t get dry or flaky, except a little around the mouth
    in the winter. I started using Bliss Vitamin C collagen and tri-peptide moisturizer. I like using clean products on my face. I haven’t tried La Roche-Posay yet.
    What other moisturizers or clean ones can you recommend for reducing pores and anti-aging?

  47. I was impressed with beginning since she start promoting high brands I see it where is it goes, I have bad review with cerave

  48. Hey the cerave pm can that be used for daily use or just night time? Thanks!

  49. What if you have dry oily psoriasis skin? What kind of skin routine is good for that?

  50. The seravea pm is trash
