I just started using Minokem F 5 to try and regrow hair on the bald patches near my front hairline. I'm really curious if it's going to work and if I should be worried about any side effects. Can you provide some insights?

I've been using Santoor soap, but my skin just isn't glowing like I want it to. Could you recommend the best whitening or fairness soap for someone with oily skin? I'm really looking for something that can work wonders for me.

For oily skin and skin whitening, I recommend using Kojie San Skin Lightening Soap. It contains kojic acid which helps in skin whitening and brightening. Use it twice a day for best results.
