I'm wondering if Tivenca gel can be used instead of Papulex for my face, and if it's safe to leave on overnight. Could you let me know if that's okay?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Tivenca gel is not a direct replacement for Papulex for the face. Papulex is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and contains ingredients like nicotinamide and zinc PCA to help control excess oil production and reduce inflammation. Tivenca gel, on the other hand, is primarily used for the treatment of various skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment for your skin condition. For acne treatment, you can consider using Papulex gel on the affected areas of the face in the evening before bedtime. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of the gel and leave it on overnight for best results.

I've been using Cadila Skin Shine cream for about 6 months now. At first, it worked wonders on my face, but lately, I've occasionally noticed some irritation and red rashes. I stopped using it a week ago, and now my skin looks much darker than before. What can I do to fix this? I'm really concerned about getting my skin back to its original tone. Any advice would be appreciated!
