Best face cream?

Sensitive skin has a fine texture with a tendency to be much rosier than you think. This type of skin is very soft and prone to allergies. Factors like sunlight, cosmetic like strong perfume causes allergy and dermatitis. Avoid perfumes and strong scented creams and lotion. Use a cream that's designed for your sensitive skin. You can try Oil of Olay Sensitive Skin, or look for a cream that says (for sensitive skin) on the box.

I'm using Dove sensitive day cream which has no perfume but it does has steric acid. Is it bad to use the product which contain steric acid? Do you know any cream to tighten the pore? My mother has visible pores around her neck and cheeks area also I do have few pores around cheeks. I thought if I use witch hazel toner it may help to tighten the pore but no improvement

( . Thank you for your reply...

Stearic acid is a colorless, odorless, wax-like fatty acid. It's used in face creams and body care products. Stearic acid isn't really bad for the skin.

Using an astringent/toner after cleansing helps to tighten the pores and refresh the skin. Oil-free creams helps tightens pores as well. Ponds all day Oil Control Cream or other oil control creams like it will shrink the pores.

Thank you prettylady for your answers

I have some pigmentation around my chin and lip area but don't know how to remove them, it is not too dark but less colour than my normal colour. I was kind of brown colour before nearly three months. Recently my whole body colour is changing, when I compare with my face it is little bit darker than my body colour. Is it something wrong with the face cream I am using? Or is it because I used to do the bleach? I think it is going to take time to get better... If you can please suggest me what do I have to do...

Because darker skinned people and people of color have more pigment in their skin to begin with, they are more likely to have uneven skin tone. The UV-rays from the sun can also increase melanin, which can cause dark marks on the skin. It's very important to wear a sunscreen with SPF 15 or greater.

Skin agents like glycolic acid, kojic acid, azeleic acid, and soy, can help lighten discoloration. Apply it twice a day to the problems areas and it will gradually even out your skin tone.

These so-call fairness creams will not help to pigmentation on your face. You will need to use something stronger. Using skin creams that contains kojic acid or hydroquinone on the effected area will help fade the discoloration. Glycolic peels can also improve your skin's texture and appearance.

The main problem I have is that I do have some fuzzy hair on my face because of fuzzy hairs I do thread. No other hair removel method work or suit me than threading. Every time when I do thread pimples pop up then it will disappear after a week. This is continuely happening to me? Will you suggest me what do I have to do before I thread or after I thread. And Please tell me if you happen to know good facial scrub for senstive skin type. Sorry my english is not good enough

Currently I am using Dove Sensitive cleanser, and Day cream.

Your english is very good. Threading can cause infection in the hair follicles and irritation which can cause breakouts. I suggest that you try waxing to remove unwanted hair instead of threading. If you have sensitive skin, you should not use harsh abrasive scrubs. People with sensitive skin should use a mild facial scrub. You can try Clean & Clear or Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Foaming Scrub. It will gently remove excess dirt, oil and dead skin cells to reveal softer skin.
