The under-eye area is very delicate, and active ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, and arbutin can sometimes irritate if applied too close to the eyes. Your dermatologist may have recommended this product based on your individual condition. However, since these ingredients mainly target pigmentation (dark circles) rather than puffiness, it’s important to clarify with your doctor whether the goal is to treat dark circles or swelling. Use the cream only under their guidance to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Namaste! Kojimic-Plus Cream, containing tranexamic acid, is generally used topically and may be prescribed by dermatologists for certain skin concerns, but its safety and suitability specifically for eye puffiness depend on your dermatologist’s guidance and your skin sensitivity.

🩺 Safety and Suitability

  • This cream is not typically formulated specifically for delicate under-eye skin, which is thinner and more sensitive.
  • Using it near the eyes should be done cautiously and strictly as directed by your dermatologist to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.
  • If you experience redness, burning, or increased puffiness, discontinue use and consult your dermatologist promptly.

🏥 Recommendations

  • Follow your dermatologist’s instructions carefully regarding application amount and frequency.
  • Avoid direct contact with the eyes to prevent irritation.
  • If unsure or if side effects occur, consult your dermatologist for alternative treatments suitable for eye puffiness.

Always consult your dermatologist before continuing or starting any new topical treatment around the eyes.
