I've been using Eukroma cream on my face for a couple of months now even though I don't have any skin pigmentation. It seems to suit me and has really lightened my skin, but I've read some negative reviews about its side effects online. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep using it on my normal skin. Can you give me some advice?
Instead, focus on evidence-based methods to promote beard growth:

I'm 28 and have struggled with severe nodular acne, and unfortunately, my skin is still really sensitive. I occasionally get acne breakouts too. I've been using Epitheliale AH skin repair cream and a herbal acne cream as part of my skincare routine. Now, I'm starting to notice signs of aging like dry patches, fine lines, dullness, and some spots. I'm nervous about visiting salons for facials or cleanups due to hygiene concerns. I'm trying to figure out how to start an anti-aging regimen at home that won't trigger breakouts. Ive heard that a lot of anti-aging products have heavy moisturizers that might clog pores. Can you suggest any products that are safe for acne-prone skin but also keep it moisturized enough? Also, Im hoping for something cost-effective because I'm not looking to spend too much. What would you recommend?
Dermatologist opinion is advised.
