I've been dealing with acne since I was 15, and it's gotten worse now that I'm 20. I tried some Ayurvedic treatments, but they didn't really help. A dermatologist recommended clarithromycin and tretinoin cream, which showed minimal improvement for a bit, but now my acne's back and even worse. Is there any real, lasting solution out there?

I'm thinking about taking Antoxid HC twice a day because I've got a big function coming up on December 29th and I'm really hoping to clear up my skin. But I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects. Can you tell me if it's safe to go ahead with this plan?

I'm really worried about my skin after using No Scar cream. I'm experiencing some side effects, and it's making me anxious. How long does it usually take for the skin to get back to normal and regain its usual appearance after such issues?

It is difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for the skin to return to its previous appearance after experiencing side effects from a no scar cream. The time frame can vary depending on the individual's skin type, the severity of the side effects, and how the skin responds to treatment. However, you can consider using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe the skin and promote healing.
