Hi. kojiglo gel contains kojic acid 2% as its main ingredient. Kojic acid is a skin lightening agent and as far as present literature is concerned it is considered to be safe for long term use unlike hydroquinone which can cause exogenous ochronosis and Lomela(Combination of mometasone, tretinoin and hydroquinone) which can cause skin atrophy and acne on long term use
