I've got a wheatish, sensitive combination skin and earlier I was using Dermadew Aloe lotion as a night cream because my dermatologist recommended it. But honestly, I haven't seen much improvement in my skin tone. I recently came across something called Dermadew GLOW cream. Do you think it's safe for me to use it regularly for clearer, glowing skin?

Dermadew Glow cream is a good option for improving skin tone and achieving a clearer, glowy skin. It contains ingredients like Kojic acid, Arbutin, Liquorice extract, Vitamin E, and Allantoin which help in brightening the skin and reducing pigmentation. You can apply a thin layer of Dermadew Glow cream on cleansed skin at night before bedtime. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream to protect your skin from sun damage.

My underarms are really dark and it's been bothering me for years. I don't want to go for surgery are there any effective creams or other non-surgical solutions that can lighten them permanently? I've even stopped wearing sleeveless clothes because of this

Dark underarms can be effectively lightened with topical creams, chemical peels, or laser treatments, but permanent lightening is not guaranteed. While some home remedies like lemon juice or turmeric might offer temporary improvements, they are not a long-term solution. Consult a dermatologist to determine the best course of action for your specific case.
