Can I use folliserum for my eyebrows? I've noticed that the hair on one side is kind of superficial. I'm wondering if folliserum would be a good option for this. Any advice would be appreciated!

Folliserum is a topical solution containing minoxidil, which is commonly used to promote hair growth. It can be used for eyebrows as well. You can apply a small amount of Folliserum on the sparse areas of your eyebrow once daily. Make sure to wash your face before applying and allow it to dry before applying the solution.

I've been using ELOSONE HT Cream for over three months and saw a real improvement in my skin color. But then I began to get pimples, and they left black marks that started spreading, so I stopped using the cream. Now, my face seems to be darkening really quickly. I'm worried and wondering if I should start using the cream again or try something else. What do you think?

-It's best to avoid using ELOSONE HT Cream without a doctor's guidance, as it can cause side effects like skin darkening and pimples. I recommend consulting a dermatologist to assess your skin and recommend the best treatment for your concerns.
