Hello Doctor,
I hope you’re doing well.
I am reaching out regarding some skin concerns I am currently facing. I have dry and sensitive skin with visible fine lines, wrinkles, and open pores.
I would like your guidance on how I can effectively reduce the appearance of open pores and wrinkles,and get firm skin, while also maintaining my skin’s hydration and barrier health.
Could you please suggest appropriate skincare products (such as cleanser, moisturizer, serum, sunscreen and brand like plum, minimalist etc)

You are likely experiencing keratosis pilaris with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and xerosis. The “strawberry legs” suggest clogged or enlarged follicular openings with retained keratin or pigment.
Next Steps
Continue Chemist at Play lactic acid body wash (good choice).
Switch to a moisturizer with urea 10% + lactic acid, like Minimalist 5% Lactic Body Lotion or Fixderma Salyzap Body Lotion at night.
Use a physical exfoliating mitt 2–3 times weekly.
Consider Dot & Key AHA exfoliating body serum 2–3 times/week.
Daily broad-spectrum body sunscreen (Minimalist or Neutrogena SPF 30+) if exposing legs.
Health Tips
Avoid harsh scrubbing; be consistent with moisturization. Improvements are gradual—expect visible changes in 6–8 weeks.
