Having Oily Skin, Used Chemical Peel, Advised Kojivit Cream, Safe?

Hello Doctor, I am 31 years old and don t have a medical problems. I am 5.3 feet and weigh 50 kgs. I have oily skin but it is good as I take care of it- eat well and drink lots of water. I just got a chemical peel to enhance my complexion and remove dead skin and was advised to use kojivit cream in the night...Is it safe? If it a steroid i don t want to use it. Can I just apply my regular moisturizer?

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Kojivit cream contain kojic acid which is derived from a fungus and has action similar to hydroxyquinone.

A lot of products are available in the market. However it is advisable to use the ones which are from reputed companies and are time tested.

You can apply your regular moisturizer.

With best wishes.
