Question

I just used tretinoin cream, and after a few minutes, my face started burning, so I quickly washed it off. Now I've got this reddish patch. I'm worried it might turn into brown patches. How should I manage or balance this?

Question

I've cut myself on my stomach with a compass and now it's been about 5 or 6 days, but the pain just keeps getting worse. I don't want to tell anyone 'cause I'm the one who did it. Is there anything I can do to make the pain less intense, and do you know how long it'll take for the scars to go away?

Question

I've been using Safi for the past two months to help with blood purification and acne, and so far, I haven't noticed any side effects. But I'm getting mixed messages; some people say it's safe, while others warn of possible side effects. I'm feeling a bit confused and wonder if it's okay to continue using it. Should I keep using Safi for its benefits, or are there risks I should be worried about? I really need some professional guidance on this.

Question

I'm wondering about the best order to apply my skincare products. Should I put on the depiwhite cream on my cheeks first and then apply sunscreen over my whole face, or is it better to do the sunscreen first and then the depiwhite cream where I need it? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.
