I'm really confused about the order in which I should apply my skincare medications for acne. I've got three different ones: Lotion Doux moisturizing lotion, UV Doux sunscreen, and Aziderm for dark spots. The Aziderm feels really drying on my skin, so I'm not sure if it should go first or last. Could you help me figure out the right order to apply them all?

I'm wondering if Folica hair tincture actually helps increase hair density or if it just manages hair fall? I'm really hoping for a product that can boost the thickness of my hair. If it's only good for controlling hair fall, could you recommend a good hair serum that can really help with increasing hair density?

Folica hair tincture primarily helps to control hair fall. If you are looking to increase the density of your hair, I recommend using Minoxidil solution. You can apply Minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) directly to the scalp twice a day to promote hair growth and increase hair density.
