I'm really curious about how safe biotin capsules are. Do they actually help with reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth? If they do, could you also guide me on how much I should be taking?

Biotin capsules are generally considered safe, with minimal side effects, and can help reduce hair fall and promote hair growth by strengthening hair follicles and increasing elasticity; recommended dosage varies from 2,500-10,000 mcg per day, but typical dosages for hair growth are 5,000-7,500 mcg per day, taken orally with food, and it's essential to consult a Dermatologist

I'm 25 years old but my skin looks dull and loose, almost like I'm more middle-aged. I've got pigmentation on my face and dark circles under my eyes. My skin is also really rough and dry. What could be causing this, and what can I do to improve my skin?
