View allI've been looking into different soap bars and I'm torn between the Desmodew Lite and iGlow Lite options. I'm really concerned about making sure I pick something that's safe for my skin and not harmful in any way. Can you help me understand which one might be the better choice?
Desmodew lite soap bar and i-glow lite soap bar are both safe options for the skin. However, it is important to note that individual reactions to skincare products can vary. For a safer option, I would recommend using Desmodew lite soap bar as it is known for its gentle cleansing properties and is suitable for sensitive skin. You can use Desmodew lite soap bar for daily cleansing of the skin. Apply the soap on wet skin, gently massage, and then rinse off with water. If you have any specific skin concerns or conditions, it is always best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.

This would work but immediate result cant be expected for regrowth of new hair minimum time is 90 days, cause for hair fall needs to be ruled out \, visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate tretament.
