I've been dealing with an acne problem and my dermatologist recommended using Topibrite cream every night. I'm just a bit concerned about using it so regularly. Is it really safe to put it on every night, or could there be any side effects I should watch out for?

Topibrite cream, containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide, is generally safe for regular nighttime use, but potential side effects like dryness, irritation, or sun sensitivity can occur, so follow your dermatologist's guidance, start with a small amount, and gradually increase as your skin tolerates it.

I've been reading about the Yellow Peel treatment, and I'm wondering if the effects last permanently or if they're just temporary. Can it really get rid of pigmentation on the face for good?

Effects of Yellow Peel treatment are usually temporary. It can help reduce pigmentation on the face, but the results may not be permanent. To reduce pigmentation permanently, you may consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone or tretinoin, or undergoing laser treatments such as Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.
