Question

I've been using hydroquinone 2% for a year and had great results with my hyperpigmentation, especially on my forehead and around my mouth. Recently, I switched to taking glutathione 500mg tablets and applying Kojivit Ultra cream for the last two months. Im really curious and a bit worriedwill these two new treatments give me the same awesome results as hydroquinone, or should I consider starting another cycle with hydroquinone 2%?

Question

I'm a bit confused about something. My doctor prescribed Keraglo Black tablets for premature greying, but I can't find them at any of the local pharmacies. I've been looking online and came across Kerablak tablets, which seem to be for the same issue. Are these two medications actually the same thing, or are there differences I should be aware of? Would it be okay to take Kerablak as a substitute?
