I'm trying to figure out which is better for fighting acne: Perobar 2.5 or Dermadew Acne Soap. I've come across some reviews that mention these soaps might darken the normal color of the face. Is there any truth to that?

Between Perobar 2.5% and Dermadew Acne Soap, Perobar 2.5% is likely more effective against acne.
Perobar 2.5%
- Contains benzoyl peroxide: A well-known acne-fighting ingredient that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unclogs pores.
- Stronger formulation: 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is a relatively strong concentration, making it more effective against acne.
Dermadew Acne Soap
- Milder formulation: Dermadew Acne Soap may contain milder ingredients, such as tea tree oil or salicylic acid, which are less effective against severe acne.
- May not be as effective: Dermadew Acne Soap might not be as effective as Perobar 2.5% in reducing acne severity.
Skin Darkening Concerns
- Unlikely to darken skin: Neither Perobar 2.5% nor Dermadew Acne Soap is likely to darken your skin tone.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): If you experience acne inflammation, it may lead to PIH, causing temporary dark spots.
To minimize the risk of PIH, use sunscreen daily, avoid picking or popping pimples, and follow a consistent skincare routine.

View allI've been dealing with really dry skin on my face and some pretty intense dark circles. There's also this dark line across my nose and a patch near it that just won't go away. I'm already on a six-month treatment for pimples that my doctor assured would help with the dark spots too, but I'm not actually seeing any change. What should I do?

I'm really curious about how well Finpecia works if I stick to using it for the rest of my life. Does it mean I won't lose any more hair? Also, I'm having a hard time deciding between Finpecia and Finax. Is one better than the other in terms of maintaining my hair?
Finpecia is a brand name for finasteride, which is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness. It is effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth in some individuals. However, it may not fully restore all lost hair. Consistent and long-term use of finpecia can help maintain the existing hair and prevent further hair loss. Both finpecia and finax contain the same active ingredient, finasteride. Therefore, they are equally effective in treating hair loss. The choice between finpecia and finax can depend on individual preferences and tolerability. It is important to follow the recommended dosage as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal results.

I've been using this Dr. James Glutathione skin whitening cream for a couple of years, and it really made my skin fair and white. But now my skin has become super sensitive. Every time I go outside in the morning, my face goes all red and feels like it's burning. Since I stopped using that cream, my skins gotten darker. It's weird because my ears and neck are still white, but only my face is darker, and the difference is really noticeable. What should I do about this? Is there a way to fix it? I'm not worried about the cost, so should I look into skin whitening laser treatments or maybe carbon peeling or stem cells? Do you think normal medicines could help, or should I go for one of these high-end procedures? I'm really curious and a bit worried.
