I'm dealing with pimples and marks on my face and I'm currently using tivenca gel in the afternoon and at night, plus peroclin gel in the evening. I'm curious about something though when I apply the tivenca gel at night and leave it on while I sleep, then wash my face with tone n glow face wash in the morning, am I somehow reducing the effectiveness of the tivenca gel? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

No thats not true,no need to worry you are using it in a right way,follow your doctors advice

I've had a naturally thick lower lip since childhood but now at 19 it seems to be getting even thicker while my upper lip stays small. Are there any natural ways to reduce the size of my lower lip without surgery

Non-surgical lip reduction options are limited. Lip exercises have minimal effect. Surgery is the most effective option for size reduction.
