It’s difficult to find the right skincare product for you. It takes a lot of hits and misses till you can find the products that actually suit you.

Here is our pick of some of the best skincare products on Nykaa that have worked for us over the years.

Dr Sheth’s is a skincare brand specifically for Indian skin, which is quite a rare concept. While most of their products have lived up to the hype so far, their sunscreen is particularly worth mentioning. It feels really light on the skin but it’s also moisturising. This sunscreen also gives you a slight tint which makes your skin look more even toned.

This is quite a great toner for combination oily skin, especially in the monsoon. Unlike toners for oily skin, it won’t dry your skin out completely. It also feels light and leaves your skin feeling perfectly hydrated, which a lot of products for combination skin fail to do. Over time, with regular use, this toner can also improve the texture of your skin, making it more even toned.
