I'm curious about Canthex capsules and their effects. Can you tell me why doctors usually recommend them? What's the main benefit for our body? Do they help with weight loss, or are they more for treating skin infections?

Contains Orlistat as its active ingredient. It is commonly recommended by doctors for weight management in individuals who are overweight or obese. Orlistat works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats in the intestines, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss. It is not used for skin infections.

View allI've been having some trouble since I got a facial and waxing done. My face has these really bad patches now, and the left cheek feels super tight. I'm starting to think it might be a chemical burn. I tried using ice since last night, but it hasn't really made a difference. Could you let me know what else I should do?
avoid scratching the affected area and u can put eyes no problem with that.usuallly its self limiting, if it continues or becoming worse visit Dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been noticing that my complexion has become really dull and dark recently. I used to have a pretty fair complexion, but ever since I started my weight loss journey and lost about 8 kgs by going to the gym regularly, it's like my skin has been affected negatively. I look pale and dull and have lost that bright glow. Can you suggest anything for this? Oh, and I should mention my skin is oily, prone to acne, and also quite sensitive.
To help improve your skin tone and regain the glow, you can try using a topical cream containing Vitamin C and Niacinamide. These ingredients can help brighten the skin and even out the complexion. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can protect your skin from further damage and darkening. For your oily and acne-prone skin, you can use a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.
