Question 1

how effectve is nadilona cream?

Accepted Answer

Not bad: The active ingredient in Nadinola Cream is Hydroquinone, a product used by physicians to lighten skin.  Nadinola has a 3% concentration, the bleaching cream that I carry has 4%.  Nadinola also has a sunscreen, which is important when using HQ.  You don't want to use it for more than 6 weeks at a time.  I usually recommend doing a 6wk course twice/year. Between you can use something like Lytera.

Question 2

is xanthel cream effective in removing xanthelasma?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Usual xanthelasmas are due to excessive fats in blood and that needs to be addressed by your doctor.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Question 5

after cleansing i use dr haushuka toner, then a serum. can i use roc tetinol cream on top of serum? still effective? thanks

Accepted Answer

To be honest: The retinol based cream is probably the most effective "antiaging" topical skin product that you are using.  As there is clear evidence the retinoic acid and the precursors to it like retinol are effective for wrinkles; retinol being less potent but more "tolerable".  Realize that the toner/serum may blunt the "effectiveness" of the retinol.

Question 7

Creams: Topical antiacne treatment can be very effective.

I am not personally familiar with this cream, but it does not sound like the prescription creams which are authorized by the fda for use in acne. See a dermatologist!
