Brief Answer: details below Detailed Answer: Hello By combo skin probably you mean both oily and dry skin. Best product for such type of skin are cosmetics which are in water based base. For example a water based sunscreen would suit you better. Also use tea tree oil face wash. Vitamin c helps in collagen remodelling hence it can be used for any type of skin. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you

I usually use cleanser for normal skin because cleanser for oily skin dries my skin. So whats the best cleanser for a normal to senstive skin cleanser? And i want your opinion of a good sunscreen.

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rahul Kumar (14 hours later)

Brief Answer: non comedogenic cleanser Detailed Answer: Hello Non comedogenic cleansers like cetaphil will suit you better. These cleansers leave a thin film of moisture on face, hence preventing excess dryness. As I mentioned earlier, you can use water based sunscreens, commonly called as aqua gel. Don't use a sunscreen with spf more than 30 as the higher the spf, more oily the sunscreen becomes. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
