Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query and I have understood it.

I think you have developed irritation to the product that you are using

Kozilite lotion contains Kojic Acid, Liquorice, Arbutin, Nicotinamide, Vit. C, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid as the main active ingredients.

Glycolic acid, lactic acid, turmeric have inherent irritant properties and they may cause cumulative irritation when combined together, specially in those who have a sensitive skin.

I would suggest that you discontinue it. Let the skin recover for at least 3-5 days.

Thereafter, I would suggest that you to try a different skin lightening cream, Melaglow plus cream which is safe yet effective.

Melaglow cream is made up of ingredients like Soy isoflavones, Liquorice Extract, Tetrahydrocurcumin, Zinc Oxide, Niacinamide, Kojic acid. It is non-irritating even when used on sensitive skin types.
