I'm using SkinLite on my face every night, and I'm wondering if it's okay to also apply vitamin E capsules afterward. Also, during the day, can I use lemon juice on my face, or would that react badly with the SkinLite? I'm a bit worried about how these might interact with each other.

  1. Using SkinLite with Vitamin E Capsules

    • Components and Effects: SkinLite contains hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin, which lighten skin, reduce inflammation, and promote cell turnover.
    • Benefits and Risks: Vitamin E may help moisturize and soothe the skin but could potentially interfere with tretinoin's effectiveness.
    • Guidance: Apply vitamin E in the morning to avoid interaction. Monitor for irritation.
  2. Interaction Between SkinLite and Vitamin E

    • Potential Interactions: Vitamin E might reduce irritation from tretinoin but could also decrease its efficacy.
    • Recommendations: Use vitamin E separately from SkinLite. Apply SkinLite at night and vitamin E in the morning.
  3. Using Lemon Juice During the Day with SkinLite Treatment

    • Risks: Lemon juice is acidic and can increase photosensitivity, leading to irritation when combined with SkinLite.
    • Advice: Avoid lemon juice on treated areas. Use sunscreen if exposure is unavoidable.
  4. Interaction Between SkinLite and Lemon Juice

    • Exacerbation of Side Effects: Lemon juice may worsen redness, peeling, or burning.
    • Skincare Advice: Avoid harsh substances and focus on gentle skincare.
  5. General Skincare Recommendations While Using SkinLite

    • Moisturizing and Protection: Regularly moisturize and use sunscreen. Avoid irritants.
    • Consultation: Seek a dermatologist's advice if adverse reactions occur.

I'm noticing some fat under my arms, and it's really noticeable and kind of bulging out. I'm not sure who to see about this. Should I be consulting a gynecologist or a dermatologist? What do you think?

To address this issue, you can consider using a topical fat reduction cream containing L-Carnitine. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for best results. Additionally, incorporating exercises targeting the underarm area, such as tricep dips and push-ups, can help tone and reduce fat in that area. Remember to maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated to support your overall weight loss goals. If you have any underlying medical conditions or concerns, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
