I've got a wheatish sensitive combination skin type and I'm curious about improving my skin tone. I've tried the Dermadew Aloe lotion at night as per my dermatologist's suggestion, but I didn't really see any noticeable changes. I recently found out about Dermadew Glow cream and I'm wondering if it's safe for my skin and if it might help me achieve a clearer, more even complexion. Would love to know your thoughts!

Dermadew glo is advised, if any side-effects dermat opinion is advsed to the patient.

I've been dealing with hair fall issues and my hair just isn't growing after a certain point. I'm pretty concerned and I've heard about these capsulesBecadexamin and Keraglo Evafor hair regrowth. Could you help me figure out which one would be better for me? I'm really curious if one is more effective than the other.

For hair re-growth, both Becadexamin and Keraglo Eva are viable options, but Keraglo Eva seems to have a more comprehensive formula, containing biotin, vitamin B12, and other nutrients that promote hair growth and strengthen hair follicles. However, it's essential to consult a doctor before starting any supplements, as they can recommend the best course of treatment for your specific hair concerns.
