I'm struggling with blackheads and enlarged pores, and my combination skin isn't making things easier. My T-zone gets pretty oily, while other areas are quite dry. I'm considering using Sebamed cleansing facial foam and the deep cleansing facial toner. Do you think these could help with reducing blackheads and minimizing pores? Would love some guidance on this!

Sebamed cleansing facial foam and Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner are good choices for reducing blackheads and minimizing pores. For your combination skin with a very oily T-zone and dry other parts, I recommend using Sebamed cleansing facial foam twice a day to cleanse your face. Follow up with Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner to help tighten pores and control excess oil production.

I'm wondering if it's okay to take vitamin supplements for my skin that expired just three months ago in January 2020. Are they still safe to use, or should I be concerned about any potential risks? Would appreciate your advice on this!

I'm experiencing this really frustrating full body itching that has turned into black marks. I saw a doctor, and they mentioned it might be because of dry skin. I've tried using lotion, ointments, and even tablets, but they only seem to help while I'm using them. As soon as I finish the course, the itching comes back. Can you help me understand what's going on or suggest something that might work better?
