I've noticed that after I smoke, my face gets bloated and my eyebags really stand out. I do cardio and hit the gym every day. Could you suggest what might be going on and how I can deal with it?

I've been using this Kojivit Plus cream my dermatologist recommended for my dark spots, and it has kojic acid in it. I've been at it for a couple of months, but instead of getting lighter, my dark spots seem to be getting darker. Is it possible that this cream could be making them worse?

Yes, it's possible that Kojivit Plus cream containing kojic acid may be causing the dark spots to darken further. Reduce Frequency or Concentration:and comsult dermatologist

I'm a bit worried about the MINOZ ER 45 that my doctor gave me for my acne. I'm supposed to take it for 6 months. Can you tell me if it's a steroid or just an antibiotic?

Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.
