Can I use Deriva CMS gel for my acne marks? Also, is it safe to apply it all over my face to help with the marks? I'm really hoping it works and need some advice. Please let me know soon.

Question

I've been using Cutihyde and Momerex creams for my black spots for about 4 years now. They worked great, but every time I try to stop, the spots come back. I even tried using different creams like one with kojic acid, but they didn't work for me. I haven't used Cutihyde and Momerex creams since last month, and now the spots are bigger than ever. I'm really worried about this and I feel embarrassed facing people. Can you help me figure out what I should do?

Question

I've been using Rejuglow vitamin C serum for the last couple of months and it gave me such a nice glow, but just recently, like in the past week, my skin seems to be getting darker. Any idea what might be causing this change?

Question

I've been dealing with a burn I got about four months ago, and the doctors mentioned it was a first-degree burn. The healing process went alright, but now Im stuck with this nasty scar on my arm that's really bothering me. The skin in that area doesnt seem to have an even tone, and the outer layer is darker. Could you suggest any products to help even out the skin tone and possibly recommend a good scar cream? I'm just looking for some guidance here.
