I'm dealing with some dark spots on my face, and my dermatologist recommended glycolic acid for it. But now, every time I apply the cream, my face feels a bit itchy. Should I be worried and stop using it, or is that normal?

Question

So I'm 19 and I'm Indian, but I'm noticing something odd with my beard. It's got a lot of brown hairs, especially on the chin, even though the hair on my head is black. Also, I'm dealing with rosacea, and my nose is really red because of it. I'm curious, why could my beard be turning brown?

I'm thinking about trying a Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid serum for my dull and pigmented skin because a friend recommended it. My face has quite a few marks, and I'm really hoping this might help. But I'm just a bit worried and want to know if it's safe to use. Are there any specific brands you would recommend?

I've been using Deriva BPO gel on my face alongside Rejuglow and Cetaphil face washes. It's been about a week since I started with the Deriva BPO. Should I stick with this skincare routine, or could it cause any issues?
