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.

I'm experiencing some male pattern hair loss around my temple area and forehead, and I'm really curious about what I can do about it. Have you found Procapil to be effective, or is Capixyl the better option in your experience?
For male pattern hair loss, particularly in the temple and frontal areas, consider using minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia) as they are FDA-approved and clinically proven to promote hair growth and slow down hair loss; regarding Procapil and Capixyl, both are proprietary blends with some evidence suggesting their effectiveness in promoting hair growth, with Procapil possibly having a slight edge due to its combination of apoptosis-inhibiting and hair growth-promoting compounds, but consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
