Can I use Deriva CMS gel to get rid of whiteheads on my nose and chin? I'm really curious if it's effective or if I should try something else. Could someone help me out with this?

Deriva CMS gel contains Adapalene and Clindamycin, which are commonly used to treat acne and whiteheads. You can apply a thin layer of Deriva CMS gel on the affected areas (nose and chin) once daily in the evening. Be sure to cleanse your face before applying the gel. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

I'm really struggling with acne and someone mentioned trying blood purifiers like Safi. There are claims it helps with clear skin, but I'm skeptical and feeling a bit worried about using it. Can these kinds of blood purifiers actually make a difference with acne, or is it just a myth? What should I consider before trying something like this?

Safi is a popular blood purifier that contains ingredients like Neem, Tulsi, and Chiraita which are known for their skin-clearing properties. It can help in maintaining clear skin and controlling acne when taken regularly. The recommended dosage for Safi is usually 10ml to 20ml twice a day after meals.
