Avoid harsh soaps. Limit washing your face to twice a day and use an oil based moisturiser.

I'm using Liv.52 DS and was wondering, how long will it take before I see improvements in my skin, like fewer pimples and other related issues?

Liv.52 DS, an Ayurvedic formulation, may help alleviate liver-related skin issues, but its effectiveness and timeline for clearing pimples and other skin diseases vary depending on individual skin types, underlying conditions, and overall health; while some users report improvements within 2-6 weeks, others may take 3-6 months or more to notice significant changes, so be patient and consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I've been using mintop for the past 3 months and ever since I started, I've been experiencing a lot of itching where I apply it. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about the irritation, or maybe try something different? Any advice would be appreciated!

To help alleviate the itching, you can try using a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer on the affected area. Additionally, you can use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help reduce the itching. If the itching persists or becomes severe, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Im from India, and Ive noticed that my skin is a bit uneven. My inner thighs and buttocks seem much darker compared to the rest of my body, especially after I had a fungal infection there which has now cleared up. I'm also a little overweight, which might contribute to the issue. Is there any cream or treatment that could help lighten these dark areas? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
