Cleansers
Clean it!
My first facial cleanser since I started working at the pharmacy. Although I don't use it anymore, I still get inquiries from my patients at least four times a day.
CeraVe Foaming facial cleanser for normal to oily skin
The gel I use regularly. Contains zinc PCA. A special form of zinc that does not dry out the skin and has an antimicrobial effect. The new version also contains the phylobioma molecule that regulates sebum secretion. Personally, I prefer it because i...
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel Facial Wash for Oily Skin
I use it for washing my oily scalp, but sometimes I would wash my face with it. Unfortinately I have seborrheic dermatitis caused by the fungus Malassezia furfur. Normally it lives on our skin, but on oily skin they begin to multiply causing red and ...
Asebon shampoo for oily scalp
A very cheap product with a similar composition to La Roche Posay products. Which is no wonder since it is made by the same company. A big plus is that it's available in every drugstore. I use it most often at the end of the month when my paycheck ha...

Face serums
Prep it!
New on the Croatian market. I've been using it for 4 months in the evening after cleansing the face. It contains 10% of vitamin B3 (reduces skin inflammation) and Melasyl (a new molecule that reduces the storage of excess melanin in skin and formatio...
La Roche-Posay Mela B3 serum
My first niacinamide serum ever. I've used it for 2 years. In the evening, I would put it on the pimples and they would be dry by tomorrow. What a life saviour.
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Serum rich in vitamin B3 and glycolic acid. I apply it to dark spots left behind from acne.
Vichy LiftActiv B3 Serum for Dark Spots & Wrinkles
Although it is advertised as a hydrating cream, personally use it as a serum in small amounts. The snail extract repairs damaged skin, so I apply this product in a small amount on acne or dark spots. I also use it on my lips before applying Vaseline ...
Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All In One intensive regenerating
It's not a classic peel. It's applied to acne or dark spots in the evening on dry, clean skin. It can be used for up to 2 weeks. It's good, it works, but I like that it's very sticky.
Bioderma Sébium Night Peel
A serum rich in glycolic, lactic, salicylic acid, and vitamin B3 that is good for acne that doesn't go away easily. It contains hyaluronic acid and ceramides, so it dries out my skin.
Cerave Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Control Gel
K-beauty is slowly becoming popular in Croatia. This serum is rich in Centella asiatica. A plant that is traditionally used in South Korea against inflammatory skin conditions. It has a light texture and is not sticky.
Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule
Moisturizing creams
Seal it!
Light texture, doesn't clog pores. There is also a version with SPF 30, which I am currently using.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Acne Spot Treatment
I use it more in the summer when I need something light and refreshing for the skin. It can also be used for sunburn. I take the 300 ml package because it is the most worthwhile.
Avène Thermal Spring Water
A classic cream with Centella asiatica (that's why it has cica extensions), copper and zinc that is non-greasy. I use it more for redness around the cheeks. The ingredients have an anti-inflammatory and healing effect. Sometimes I use it for my dry l...
Uriage Cica Daily Cream
The lightest moisturizing cream for oily skin.The only downside is that it doesn't come in a larger package.
La Roche-Posay Hydraphase HA Light Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer
