I've got these dark spots and areas of darker skin on my bum, plus some stretch marks, and while I'm usually confident about my body, these things make me feel a bit uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out a solution?

The dark spots and dark skin around them may be due to hyperpigmentation. You can use a cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin to lighten the dark spots. Apply it once at night for a few weeks. For the stretch marks, you can use a cream containing retinoids and hyaluronic acid to improve their appearance. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin."

View allI'm using acne UV gel in the morning and the Beneria Expert Skin Brightening gel before bed. I've been dealing with pimples and I'm considering adding Deriva CMS gel to my routine. I'm also thinking of using a moisturizer in the morning. Could you let me know the best time and way to use all these products together? I'm just not sure how to fit everything in!
Based on your current skincare routine, you can incorporate Deriva CMS gel ointment for your pimples. You can apply a thin layer of Deriva CMS gel ointment on the affected areas in the evening, after cleansing your face. Make sure to avoid the eye area and any broken skin. In the morning, after using your acne UV gel, you can apply a moisturizer suitable for acne-prone skin. This will help keep your skin hydrated without clogging your pores. Remember to always patch test new products before applying them to your entire face to check for any adverse reactions

I'm really worried because I stopped using Panderm a week ago and started a new treatment, but I've noticed my skin has been getting darker. Right now, I'm using Tazar ointment, Kozivit Ultra, and Cetaphil lotion. Could this change in products be causing the darkening? What should I do?
