Skin Care

  • How often should I use Dermoteen cream?

    For optimal results, Dermoteen cream should be applied twice daily, morning and evening. It’s important to follow the instructions on the product label and adjust based on your skin’s tolerance. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency and consult a dermatologist. 

  • What is the difference between Dermoteen cream and Dermovate cream?

    Dermoteen cream is designed for skin whitening and lightening, while Dermovate cream is typically used for treating skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin issues. Dermoteen focuses on pigmentation, while Dermovate has a medicated formulation for deeper skin concerns. 

  • Is Dermoteen cream suitable for oily skin?

    Dermoteen cream can be used for oily skin, but it's essential to monitor your skin's reaction, as some formulations may feel heavy for certain skin types. If you have oily skin, consider using a lighter moisturizer alongside the cream or consult a dermatologist for personalized advice. 

  • Can I use Dermoteen cream for pigmentation?

    2. Promotes Hydration: Moisturized lips are less likely to crack, peel, or develop fine lines.
    3. Enhances Natural Color: Regular exfoliation and hydration can help lips appear naturally pink and plump.
    4. Improves Confidence: Healthy lips enhance your overall appearance, making you feel more confident.
