Quarantine was a tough time for all of us but social media made it possible for us to be sane right? All we did during this time was eat, watch movies, and consume the best social media. Well, it was alright. The realm of influencers widened, and plenty of influencers entertained us. Out of the many niches of influencers, the “skinfluencer”, who dealt with skincare, dominated social media. It was refreshing to see skinfluencers talk about their favorite product and how they cared for their skin. If you’d ask me what I learned during quarantine, it was taking care of my skin. What more to do than care for your skin when you have nothing to do right?
Skinfluencer has been bombarding us with its relentless content. They inspire the skincare community to always care for their skin and be comfortable in their skin. Quite entertaining and helpful at the same time, they are the reason for our late-night sleep and dark circles! They also talk about dark circles and how to take care of them if you are wondering for some tips! Let’s look at some Indian skinfluencers who are killing the skincare game and find out their favorite skincare products.

Favorite Products:
Isntree Onion Newpair Gel Cream
“This gel cream that’s formulated with ingredients that brightens the skin tone and protects the skin barrier has immensely helped in fading my stubborn adult acne scars, soothe, calmed and strengthened my skin barrier even during crazy weather change and has helped keep my acne at bay.”
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream
“The main ingredient in this cream is Hyaluronic Acid, which I call the ‘All Rounder’ ingredient because of how good and beneficial it is for the skin. It’s an explosion of hydration, acts as a humectant, smoothens skin, helps reduce the visibility of fine lines creating a plumping effect.”
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++)
“I have combination skin and live in a warm humid climate, so I prefer a hydrating yet very lightweight sunscreen, which also does not make my skin greasy after reapplication and this sunscreen ticks all the boxes.”

Favorite Products:
Isntree Onion Newpair Gel Cream
“On the very initial application, it spread on my skin so well and had the kind of consistency I look for in a barrier-repairing moisturiser. Soothing, calming and moisturising are just a few of the many characteristics this product packs in; Today, whenever my skin is seeking any SOS or stripped-down minimal routine, this stunner of a product is my natural selection by default!”
Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 + PA ++
“On my oily, acne-prone skin, this sunscreen soothes and protects all so well, super easy to blend – I don’t think there is anyone in my family who I’ve not recommended this sunscreen to – it’s a k-beauty classic for a reason y’all!”
Serum Skin and Lab Vitamin C Brightening Serum
“With such a product that makes its appearance on an almost everyday basis, I was constantly in search of a vitamin C serum that was light, easy to spread, non-tacky and just, a breeze to apply – so thus came along this Skin&Lab vitamin C serum and I have never found a better one to replace it with. Other than it fading my dark spots and brightening my skin, the serum also helps in giving a dose of hydration on application which I can truly appreciation on any given day – such a stunner!”

Cosrx The Niacinamide 15 Serum
“This serum is very gentle and has a soothing feel on application. Post application it gives a nice glow and makes the skin look plump. It actually helped with blemishes and dark spots on regular usage. It’s very lightweight which makes it very convenient to pair it with a Vitamin C serum or A hydrating serum in your AM routine preferably.”
Dear Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask
“Its a great mask when it comes to hydrating and plumping up the skin. I use it as a moisturizer..and it fits perfectly well for my combination oily skin. Overall a decent moisturizer for summers and a decent mask aswell. Only thing which is just a little bothersome for a few is the presence of essential oils..including Eucalyptus oil, Lemon Peel Oil, Orange peel oil & Lavender Oil.”
ISNTREE Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel SPF 50 PA++++
“I’ve an oily skin which made me skeptical about the finish of this one on my skin (after a few hours of application).. but since it is so lightweight it didn’t make my skin get oily or appear greasy.. Which is a big + for me! Apart from these two things I’m already impressed by the formulation for its texture and the ingredients.”

Favorite Products:
Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
“This gel based gentle cleanser was a game changer for me. Simply adding it to my then regular routine gave me glass skin back in 2017. And I’ve never bought another cleanser since. Suitable for all skin type, I use it throughout the year, especially when I’m suffering from closed comedones.”
Axis-Y Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack
“Simply applying it before getting my hormonal cystic acne prevents my monthly cystic acne from erupting.”
Beauty Of Joseon Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal
“As someone suffering from genetic dark circles and sunken eyes since late teen, there’s only so much an eye product can do to my under eye area. But this Eye Serum from Beauty Of Joseon, enriched with the best of both worlds sure made a difference. Ever since I added it to my routine, my hollow eyes have developed some collagen and my entire eye hemisphere looks better and brighter.”
