Thanks for the query.
You can use depiwhite followed by kojivit.
Following should be the procedure.
1. Apply depiwhite in evening around 7 pm.
2.Keep it for an hour then wash and apply a moisturiser and sleep.
3.Apply a sunscreen with 40 spf in morning.
Do this for a month.
Then apply kojivit in night and leave it fir whole night followed by sunscreen in day.
Do this for next three months.
After this apply only sunscreen in day and stop night cream.
You can continue using sunscreen life long.
Tretinoin cream is fine for acne.
For marks on body you can use depiwhite and let it be there for whole night.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
