I'm currently taking HCQS 200 twice a day for my skin issues, and I used to drink a lot before starting this medication. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have one drink a day or a glass of wine with dinner now. I'd really appreciate your advice.

View allI've got a wheatish sensitive combination skin type and I'm curious about improving my skin tone. I've tried the Dermadew Aloe lotion at night as per my dermatologist's suggestion, but I didn't really see any noticeable changes. I recently found out about Dermadew Glow cream and I'm wondering if it's safe for my skin and if it might help me achieve a clearer, more even complexion. Would love to know your thoughts!
Dermadew glo is advised, if any side-effects dermat opinion is advsed to the patient.
