I'm really confused about my skincare routine. I've been using Sabi glow skin lite for the last three months, but now my doctor says I should stop and switch to just sunscreen and moisturizer. I'm pretty sure if I skip those creams for even a couple of days, the black spots will come back. I've been seeing doctors for over four years about this. Will this ever get better? How long will it take to see some real improvement? I'm just so frustrated with this whole situation.

View allI've been dealing with acne for the past four years and a doctor mentioned trying a Glycolic Acid Peel. I'm really curious if there are any side effects and if it's safe to use. What should I expect from the treatment?
Glycolic Acid Peel is a popular chemical peel treatment for acne, fine lines, and skin texture improvement. Safety and Efficacy: Glycolic Acid Peel is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified dermatologist or esthetician. The treatment can be effective in: 1. Reducing acne and preventing future breakouts 2. Improving skin texture and tone 3. Fading fine lines and wrinkles 4. Enhancing skin brightness and radiance Possible Side Effects: While rare, possible side effects of Glycolic Acid Peel include: 1. Redness and irritation 2. Itching or stinging sensation 3. Dryness or flakiness 4. Increased sensitivity to the sun 5. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in rare cases Precautions and Contraindications: 1. Sensitive skin: If you have sensitive skin, your dermatologist may recommend a lower concentration of glycolic acid or a patch test before the treatment. 2. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Glycolic Acid Peel is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the lack of research on its safety during these periods. 3. Active skin infections: If you have an active skin infection, such as herpes simplex, your dermatologist may postpone the treatment until the infection clears up. Before and After the Treatment: 1. Pre-treatment preparation: Avoid using exfoliating products, waxing, or getting a tattoo at least 1-2 weeks before the treatment. 2. Post-treatment care: Follow your dermatologist's instructions for post-treatment care, which may include using gentle skincare products, avoiding direct sun exposure, and applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30. To minimize potential side effects and ensure the best results, consult with a qualified dermatologist or esthetician who can: 1. Assess your skin type and concerns 2. Determine the optimal concentration of glycolic acid for your skin 3. Provide personalized pre- and post-treatment instructions

I've been dealing with xanthelasma under my right eye for a while now. I'm 25 and really trying to lower my cholesterol by eating healthily and exercising, but its just not disappearing. I'm wondering how much it would cost to get this removed in India?
