I'm using this Kozicare skin whitening soap with ingredients like Kozic acid, Glutathione, Arbutin, and Vitamins C and E. It's really moisturized and feels great, but I'm concerned about a few things. Is it safe for regular use, and does it really lighten the skin as advertised? I've seen some YouTube videos mentioning it might only temporarily lighten the skin, and then it goes back to normal. Are there possibly better options out there? I'm also curious whether it's suitable for sensitive skin types. And does the Kozicare cream work for lightening skin tone and dark patches?

I'm 27 and from Tamilnadu. A while back, I accidentally had kerosene poured on me, and since then, my face has been getting darker day by day. I'm really worried about how to get back to my previous skin tone. What can I do to improve my skin?

Accidentally spilling kerosene on your face can cause skin damage and discoloration. To help restore your skin tone, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been applying dermadew cream for my facial acne, but now I'm having some bowel discomfort and there's a bit of itching or a burning feeling on my face. Could this be because of the cream? Do you know of any alternative medicine I could try? I'm a 30-year-old guy.

It's a good idea to discontinue Dermadew temporarily to see if the symptoms improve. If your acne persists, you may want to explore other treatment options or consult with a dermatologist for a personalized skincare routine. As for the bowel discomfort, its important to consider other factors (diet, stress, etc.) that might be contributing to that.
