I put Colgate gel toothpaste on my face and it burned my skin. My first doctor had me use Calapure for about two weeks. Then I switched to another doctor who prescribed me Dosenide and Taiyu Skin Cream. Now I'm supposed to use Taiyu Skin Cream day and night and Uniwhite during the noon. It's been a month and I'm still waiting for my spotless skin to come back. Can you tell me how long it might take to see improvements? I'm really hoping to get my clear skin back soon.

Initial improvement could be seen within 2-3 weeks of starting the treatment. Full recovery and returning to your normal skin tone might take a few months, especially if the irritation was severe. Consistency is key. Stick to the regimen your doctor prescribed and be patient.

Can I use Glyco 6 every day or should it be applied on alternate days? And when it comes to a face moisturizer, should I put it on before or after using Glyco 6? I'm a bit unsure about the right routine to follow.
For beginners stay with alternate days or 2-3 times per week especially if you are new to glycolic acid. For experienced users you can gradually increase to daily use.Use moisture after applying this cream.

I'm noticing a bunch of moles popping up on my face and neck, and I'm also dealing with acne. I've been using Acnelak soap twice a day to wash my face. Do you have any tips or methods for cleaning that might help me get clearer skin?
To address moles, acne, and achieve clear skin: *Cleaning Method* 1. *Gentle cleanser*: Replace Acnelak soap with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser (e.g., Cetaphil or Neutrogena). 2. *Warm water*: Cleanse your face with warm water instead of hot water. 3. *Pat dry*: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel. *Additional Tips* 1. *Exfoliate*: Exfoliate once or twice a week using a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 2. *Toner*: Use a toner to balance your skin's pH and remove any remaining impurities. 3. *Moisturize*: Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. 4. *Sunscreen*: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. 5. *Avoid picking*: Refrain from picking or squeezing acne or moles, as this can lead to scarring and infection. *Professional Advice* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess your skin and provide personalized advice. 2. *Mole evaluation*: Have your moles evaluated by a dermatologist to determine if they are benign or require further attention.
