Can you recommend a good fairness cream for skin whitening that's suitable for acne-prone skin and won't break the bank? I have dry skin that gets oily in the summer. I'm using Retin-A 0.025% and azelaic acid right now. I'm hoping to improve my skin texture, and I'd really appreciate your advice!

For fairness and skin whitening cream suitable for acne-prone skin with a combination of dry and oily skin, I recommend using "Cetaphil Pro Dermacontrol Oil Absorbing Moisturizer SPF 30". This moisturizer is non-comedogenic, lightweight, and helps to control oil production while providing sun protection. Additionally, you can consider using "Kojic Acid Cream" to help lighten dark spots and enhance skin texture. Make sure to apply the moisturizer in the morning and the kojic acid cream at night for best results.

View allI'm experiencing some real trouble with my lips. They've been drying out and peeling every few days for about three months now. I've been using Tacrolimus, but nothing seems to be improving. It's really just my lower lip that's affected. It gets red, peels every third day, and any new skin that forms also dries out and flakes, especially when it comes into contact with water. It's starting to mess with my confidence. I think the problem started when I was experimenting with new lip balms. Could you help me figure out how to fix this? Having dry and flaky lips isn't aesthetically pleasing, and it's really starting to get me down.
