I've been using Cosmelite cream for about a month now, as my dermatologist recommended it. But I've noticed that once I stop using it, my skin turns very dark. I'm worried and a bit confused. Is there a chance that this cream could cause skin cancer?

Can I use Glyco 6 every day or should it be applied on alternate days? And when it comes to a face moisturizer, should I put it on before or after using Glyco 6? I'm a bit unsure about the right routine to follow.

For beginners stay with alternate days or 2-3 times per week especially if you are new to glycolic acid. For experienced users you can gradually increase to daily use.Use moisture after applying this cream.

My skin's really oily and acne-prone, plus its super sensitive. I'm trying to figure out which Cetaphil cleanser would be best suited for me. Should I go with the Cetaphil OS Oily Skin Cleanser or should I opt for the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser? I'm kind of worried about making things worse with the wrong choice. Any advice?

Start with gentle cleanser and check if it suits you,later switch to oil based cleanser

I've noticed this dark black spot on my nose that started about two months ago, and it's beginning to spread. I've already seen a doctor who prescribed some ointment, soap, and tablets, plus I've been applying aloe vera. I'm really eager to know if there's anything else I could try to speed up the healing process. Any suggestions?

Do not rush to get it cured fast,it takes time have patience follow your doctors advice adnmaintain healthy life style.
