Cellnique Intensive Hydrating Oasis Gel & Skin Action Gel Plus Review

A few months back I started using two products from Cellnique that I am going to review today. I had an allergic reaction on the left side of my nose bridge due to which my skin became extremely patchy. I did not want to use anything creamy as my skin was already battling some acne. 

I read the details of the Cellnique Intensive Hydrating Oasis Gel and decided to try it out. And in parallel I continued to use the Skin Action Gel Plus on the areas where acne was erupting. I'll let you know how they both fared but first some details about both these products.

Ethicare & Ethinext Acne Care - How To Treat Acne For Oily-Skin

For any of you who need basic skin care for acne prone skin and do not want to splurge too much on fancy expensive brands then do read on.

I have already shared a few products from Ethicare Remedies and Ethinext pharma. The products I am sharing today form an acne care regimen that you can follow if you have oily acne-prone skin. First of all let me introduce you to the set of products to use.

Ethicare & Ethinext Acne Care - How To Treat Acne For Oily-Skin

OK so we have 6 products there but don't worry you don't have to use all of them every day. Here is a list of what all product are shown above (you can click on the name to purchase it online)

1. Akmasq - pimple care complexion mask (Rs 170 for 75gm)
2. Acmed cleansing pads
3. Sebogel - salicylic acid and nicotinamide gel (Rs 199 for 30gm)
4. Cutishine - facewash for daily cleansing (Rs 159 for 70gm)
5. Adaclin - clindamycin and nicotinamide cream
6. Sepfil - mandelic acid cream (Rs 180 - 30ml)

Let us now see the steps that you need to follow and the products that help in each step.

First step to treat acne is to use a face wash to clean your face twice a day. Cutishine is a golden colored face wash that comes in a tube form with a flip cap. It is aimed at improving the complexion while controlling acne. It has glycolic acid, salicylic acid, liquorice extract, tea tree oil and aloe vera. The face wash is very gentle and does not leave the skin with a stretchy dry feeling. I have selected this particular face wash as part of a acne-care regimen because often acne leaves behind scars; using a face wash that improves complexion helps ensure that scaring will not happen.

After cleaning the face it is important to apply a cream that can help get rid of the acne. A good salicylic acid cream helps in doing that. For mornings use Sebogel which works on pimples and skin infections. Sebogel also helps to open up closed pores. Its a clear fragrance free gel so you can apply this below makeup as well. (Wait for the gel to get completely absorbed before applying any makeup)

In the evening you must wash your face again. After washing use the acmed cleansing pad to wipe the entire face. Acmed cleansing pad lotion works like a toner as well. You can read more about Acmed in my review HERE

At night before sleeping apply Adaclin. I have used clindamycin based creams for years recommended by my dermatologist and it really works well.

As an extra care for your skin you should apply a face mask at least once a week. Akmasq is a face mask that contains tea tree oil, turmeric, chandan (sandalwood) and vitamins.

Passion Indulge Tea Tree Oil (For Active Acne) - Review

If you remember long back (I think in December 2013) I had hauled some organic skin care products. Today I'm sharing my review of one of the products I got during that haul. It is the Passion Indulge Tea Tree Oil for active acne. Tea Tree oil is an essential oil known for its antibacterial properties.

It is said that Tea Tree oil should be mixed in a carrier oil and then applied to the skin to treat acne. The Tea Tree oil from Passion Indulge comes in a dark blue glass bottle with a screw top cap. Details about the product and its usage are mentioned on the outer carton and there is a leaflet inside which gives more details.

Once you take off the screw cap you will find a plastic stopper inside which has a hold to dispense drop by drop. This is good because you only need a small amount of this oil and it prevents you from over-dispensing the product.
