For acne removal and to improve face glow, you can consider using a face cream containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene helps in acne treatment by preventing the formation of new acne, while benzoyl peroxide helps in reducing acne-causing bacteria and inflammation.

Question

I'm Siddhu and I've got some long-term acne scars on both sides of my cheeks. I've tried a bunch of creams, but they just make me look unnatural. So, I'm thinking about using a 0.5mm dermaroller on my face. I'm 18, and I'm really wondering if it's safe to use one at my age? Are there any future risks, or is it completely safe? Can you give me some honest advice and safety tips about using it on my face?

Question

I've noticed that my skin is getting darker every day, and I'm not sure why. My skin is naturally dry, and I have a lot of dark spots, blemishes, and dark circles. Whenever I'm out in the sun, my skin turns red and then gets even darker. I used to have a Wheaties complexion about two years ago, but recently, my skin has been darkening, even though I get 7-8 hours of sleep and I don't smoke or drink. I'm not outside that much, and when I do go out, I always apply sunscreen. Lately, I've also noticed my neck is getting darker along with the rest of my body, which used to be lighter. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I might be able to do about it?

Question

I'm really worried because last night I did something silly. I put toothpaste on my forehead to try and get rid of some acne and left it on overnight. This morning, part of my forehead looks like it might be burntlike a chemical burn. I'm kicking myself for it. Do you think it will heal on its own, or am I going to have a permanent mark? Could you recommend any medicine or home remedyjust not aloe vera since I can't get any? I'd really appreciate your help.
