Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

Kojic acid is a skin lightening agent and it is available in different strengths e,g 0.5% and 2% strengths in a cream for Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation/Tanning.

Also recommended is a broad spectrum sunscreen which offers both UVA andUVB protection throughout the day.

For improving the complexion, a cream containing one or more of the skin lightening agents e.g Kojic acid, Glycolic acid, Hydroquinone etc can be used once daily at night initially for 1 week followed by twice daily.

take care
regards
