I've been using Retino AC gel for about a week. I'm really hoping it'll help with my acne scars, but I'm not sure if I can expect noticeable results in just a month. Do you think it's possible, or should I give it more time?

I'm dealing with some tanning on my face and I'm really looking for help. Can you recommend a cream or any other solution that can get rid of the tanning without causing any side effects? I'm a bit worried about trying new products on my skin, so any safe suggestions would be really appreciated.

I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Melalite Forte cream. Apply a thin layer of this cream on the affected areas of your face once at night. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to prevent further tanning.

I'm living in Bangalore and I'm noticing that after I take a bath, my facial skin feels really dry and it even starts cracking, it's happening with my legs too. I tried using Pond's cold cream, but it just makes my skin oily and doesn't really help. I've been considering trying extra virgin olive oil. Do you have any suggestions or can you recommend something else that might work?
