I've been dealing with some intense redness on my face after using skinlite cream for a couple of days. My dermatologist suggested momivate cream which has 0.1% mometasone furoate. Is it okay to leave this cream on overnight? I'm also worried because my skin is really oily and prone to acne. Could using this cream cause more acne? Would really appreciate your advice.

I'm trying to figure out which scar gel works best in the shortest amount of time. I've come across Mederma scar gel and Scae end silicone gel. Could you please recommend which one might be more effective for quicker results? I'm really looking for something that works fast.

I recommend using Mederma scar gel. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar 3-4 times a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement.

I've noticed that my skin tone has gotten darker over the years. I used to have a lighter, whitish complexion until around ages 10 or 11, but it's changed gradually since then. I went to a dermatologist who recommended a skin lightening cream called Declipse, but I've been using it for a month without seeing much improvement. I'm feeling a bit concerned and unsure what to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Ask your dermatologist for change of medicine and it takes minimum 90 days to see any difference have patience
