Hey, I'm trying to figure out if Demelan cream is a good option for dealing with pimples and tan. Could you share your thoughts on that or suggest something else that might work better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Demelan cream contains a combination of Glycolic acid, Arbutin, and Kojic acid, which can be effective in treating both pimples and tan. You can apply a thin layer of Demelan cream on the affected areas once daily at night. However, it is important to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream to prevent further tanning.

View allI've been noticing dark circles under my eyes lately, and this has never been an issue for me before. I spend a lot of time working in front of the computer, and I'm worried that's what's causing it. I'm really looking for a way to make these circles disappear completely. Could you recommend any methods or creams that would help with this?
It sounds like your dark circles may be due to prolonged screen time, which can strain your eyes and disrupt sleep. I recommend using an eye cream with ingredients like caffeine or hyaluronic acid to reduce puffiness and hydrate the area. Also, ensure you take regular breaks from the screen and get adequate rest for best results.
