I'm dealing with melasma and pigmentation on my nose and skin, and I've tried tons of English medicines but haven't seen any results. I'm really interested in trying something new, but I'm curious about how long it might take to fully clear up this issue. Can you give me some guidance on that?

I'm struggling with my curly and dry hair, and I'm on the lookout for a good shampoo and conditioner.
