Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain Follihair tablet is a multivitamin composition and glycolic acid cream help in easy peeling of dead skin..
Both these can be taken for reducing pimples and dark spots and Follihair can help in reducing hairfall without any serious side effects..
But in case if you have acne and spots only Glycolic acid cream is not sufficient..
You should wash your face with salicylic acid and glycolic acid facewash..
Along with glycolic acid cream you should also add a cream containing Kojic acid, arbutin and vitamin c and E..
Scrubbing face weekly with a gentle scrub and limiting sun exposure has to be done..
You can always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can apply Benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin gel over pimples if the eruptions are present..
You can continue taking Follihair and also apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over scalp to initiate hairgrowth and prevent hairfall..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
