How to restore skin thickness after using steroid-based whitening cream?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. I have a few questions: How long ago did you stop using steroid creams? Are you currently using anything? From the image attached (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity), I can see mild, prominent, thin blood vessels, which are called telangiectasias (small dilated or broken blood vessels). Although there are a few laser options to treat them, I would recommend giving yourself a break from skin products for a while. As I can see, your skin is healthy, and it should rejuvenate gradually on its own.

How does the collagen in fruits help to improve the skin?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your first query consult is on us!

A recent study also showed a blend of collagen, peptides and acerola fruit extract with antioxidants, such as vitamin C, zinc, biotin, and a native vitamin E complex has been useful.
