Using glycolic acid cream for skin whitening on brown, oily skin can be effective. However, it is important to start with a lower concentration to avoid irritation. You can try using Glyco-A 12% cream for skin whitening. Possible side effects may include redness, irritation, and increased sensitivity to the sun. It is recommended to use sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid cream. You can use glycolic acid cream for a long time as long as you follow the instructions and do not experience any severe side effects."

I'm using Hair4U minoxidil 5 topical solution and I've got a few questions about it. How long should I be using it, and what happens if I stop? My schedule's pretty tight, so can I just apply it at night? If I see improvements and then quit the product, is that a bad idea does that mean I have to keep using it forever? Also, if my hair gets dry while I'm on this treatment, what should I be doing to fix that? Is it okay to use medicated soap or just water to wash my hair after applying minoxidil at night, and how should I go about washing my hair daily? I'm looking for some advice here.
