I'm really struggling with my oily and acne-prone skin. I found a couple of face washes, Acnelack and Ahaglow, and I really like them both. I'm thinking about using Acnelack in the morning and Ahaglow at night, but I'm worried if that might make things worse. Do you think this routine would help or not?

Using Acnelak in the morning and Ahaglow at night may be beneficial, as Acnelak's salicylic acid can help control oil and acne during the day, while Ahaglow's glycolic acid can aid in gentle exfoliation and skin renewal at night; however, monitor your skin's response, as combining products with different active ingredients can sometimes cause irritation or dryness.

View allI used a skin lightening cream for two days, and now my skin is red. I stopped using it, but I'm worried. Could anything happen to my skin because of this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a reaction to the skin lightening cream. To help with the redness and any potential irritation, you can apply a gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) to help with any itching or discomfort. Make sure to avoid using the cream again and if the redness persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
