I came across Clinsol gel (clindamycin + niacinamide) and I’m a bit confused about its actual use.

From what I understand, clindamycin is an antibiotic mainly for acne, while niacinamide can help with oil control and mild pigmentation.

So I wanted to ask:

• Can this gel help with tanning or hyperpigmentation at all?
• Or is it strictly for active acne treatment?
• If it does help pigmentation, is it even worth using compared to proper actives like alpha arbutin, kojic acid, etc.?
• Also, is it safe to use without a prescription?

For context: I have slightly oily (T-zone) skin and dealing more with tanning + uneven tone than acne right now.

I’m looking for a good sunscreen for Delhi summers (you already know how brutal the heat + sweat gets here).

My skin type:

• T-zone oily
• Rest of the face: sometimes oily / combination
• Prone to feeling greasy easily

What I need:

• Budget: under ₹500
• SPF 50 preferred
• Lightweight (no heavy cream feel)
• No white cast
• Doesn’t make face look more oily

I’ll attach some sunscreen options below that I found in this budget.

Which one should I go for from these?
Also, if none of these are good, what would YOU recommend instead?

I’ve seen people suggest gel-based or matte sunscreens for oily skin since they don’t clog pores or feel greasy (), so I’m mainly looking in that category.

Would appreciate honest reviews (especially if you’ve used them in Delhi heat).
