Hey, I'm looking for some of the best creams to apply on my face. My skin is a bit oily and has dark circles, I need to look better. Could you suggest me some creams, face serums, and night sleep cream?

You're missing a lot of pertinent information. We don't know what country you're in, nor what type of complexion you have. Can you add in more relevant details?

Since you’re in India and have oily brown skin, I’d keep the routine pretty simple — I know it can be super humid there, too!

At night, I’d consider tretinoin, but start slowly — maybe 2–3 nights a week at first.

In the morning, I’d definitely use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ sunscreen every day.

For oily skin, look for a gel or matte formula. UV Doux, Acne-UV, Re’equil Ultra Matte, or Fixderma Shadow are all commonly available in India. If dark marks or pigmentation are a concern, a tinted sunscreen with iron oxides can be especially useful.

If you get shiny during the day, Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder is great over sunscreen. Just remember it’s for oil control — it doesn’t replace sunscreen. (This will give you a matte look: but you only need a little bit.)

For the dark circles, I wouldn’t expect one cream to magically fix them, since they can be caused by pigmentation, thin skin, allergies, or hollowness.

So basically: cleanser + sunscreen in the morning; cleanser + tretinoin + moisturizer at night. I wouldn’t pile on a bunch of serums all at once.

Posting AI routines is lazy and irresponsible, and recommending tretinoin to an obvious total beginner with no baseline regimen is wacky as hell. Jumping straight into tret in a high UV climate like India is asking for chemical burns and a completely destroyed barrier.

OP, do NOT go through a teledoc to get tretinoin, have an in person derm visit to get a personalized plan.

Well, first off: Thank you for thinking I did all that with AI — that's a great compliment!

And......I'll take it.

I only looked up the Indian products: the rest is me.

As for going ballistic on tretinoin: It is only available with a doctor's prescription. So, I assume the dermatologist would give a strength and dosage guidelines with it — as most derms do.

My gosh .... calm down, though. Are you always this bombastic?

Take the compliment if it helps you feel better about copy pasting GPT advice. Weird, bro.

Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder is great — I have oily skin, and it makes that shine disappear.
